Montblanc Bohème: The Watch For The Independent Woman

The Montblanc Bohème collection is a blend of simplicity and refined aesthetics. Its sunburst silver-white dials shine on top of glossy leather straps, exuding a more modest, but still beguiling class. Montblanc is also careful to pay attention to finer details such as the leaf-shaped hands and crescent moon-shaped moon phase indicators, all of which are very aesthetically pleasing. Inside the watch is a caliber movement of impeccable craftsmanship, something not often seen in fine women’s watches. Indeed, the Montblanc Bohème proves that this is all the independent woman really needs—a refined timepiece that allows for precise timekeeping, with a touch of understated sophistication.

Montblanc Bohéme -- Is it a Good Investment?

Montblanc women’s watches are all well-crafted timepieces, created with the highest quality materials and craftsmanship. As such, these watches easily have the same standard of quality as the rest of the brand’s luxury products. As a luxury item designed to last, Montblanc watches are definitely great investments. They contain powerful complications that you would not see in a lot of ladies’ watches, and the Montblanc Bohème Full Calendar Ref. 119938 is one example of that.

Despite the brand’s relatively rookie status in the watch industry, Montblanc has successfully claimed a seat at the same table as Rolex and other competitive luxury brands. This is quite an achievement for a newcomer like Montblanc.

Montblanc Bohéme's History and Design Details

You’re not at all mistaken if your first thought was about writing instruments or leather goods upon hearing the name Montblanc. After all, these are what the brand is most famous for, ever since its foundation in 1906. Sometime in 1997, it began releasing fine luxury watches, which rapidly became known in the world of Haute Horlogerie. 

Montblanc’s fine ladies’ watches, which were inspired by the Princess Grace de Monaco, have a more demure and ladylike aesthetic. The Bohème collection, on the other hand, attempted to move away from this style. The Montblanc Bohème brings together the classic demure aesthetics of Montblanc watches with new, interesting functions and robust features provided by excellent caliber movements. 

Reasons to Buy a Montblanc Bohéme Watch 

Without a question, Montblanc watches are made of the highest quality. The brand has set the highest standards not just for their writing instruments, but also for all of their fine luxury items. Following the strictest of Swiss watchmaking standards, we instantly know that Montblanc timekeepers are well-crafted masterpieces that have quickly become very sought-after in the past few years.

This particular collection is also especially popular, because it offers robust complications at very affordable prices. When it comes to actually wearing the watch, the Bohème collection features watches of perfect proportions that will not feel too heavy on your wrist. They also offer classic leather or stainless steel straps, which makes these watches suitable for either everyday use or for dressy occasions. 

Montblanc Bohéme: An Unconventional Ladies’ Watch

The name of this collection might be slightly misleading to some – there isn’t really anything bohemian about the Montblanc Bohème. That said, this range of Montblanc watches offers functional timepieces that set themselves apart from other ladies’ watches with unparalleled craftsmanship and handy features.
