Peaking in 4,810 metres, the Mont Blanc is the highest mountain in Europe, straddling the French and Italian border. Only few natural milestones have fascinated generations like the imposing Mont Blanc. Since the brand was founded over a century ago, Montblanc has been associated with Europe's highest summit, using the mystical mountain's name as its own. The six glaciers and the peak of the majestic mountain have become the brand's emblem, widely recognized as a symbol of Montblanc's commitment to excellence, exclusivity and enduring quality. Celebrating the natural beauty of the Mont Blanc, the Collection has been crafted using different stones and materials, reflecting the ice and rocky surfaces that make up Europe's snowy summit. In its "Tribute to the Mont Blanc" collection, Montblanc has achieved to create the legendary Meisterstück in direct reminiscent of the highest mountain of Europe: the white colour symbolising the eternal ice and snowy peak of the Mont Blanc.
