Building upon the success from the last year’s Montblanc Bohème ExoTourbillon Slim 110 years Anniversary Limited Edition 10 with its red or blue dial, Montblanc is now unveiling the Montblanc Bohème ExoTourbillon Jewellery Motif Serpent, in noble shades of purple.

The exclusive new Bohème timepiece is available in a choice of 18K red gold or 18K white gold, each featuring an artistic dial made from delicate mother of pearl, uniting different ornamental techniques, from gem-setting, miniature gold-work to hand-painted lacquer. The cases feature slightly curved faceted horns, sculpted onion crowns, and bezels set with sparkling diamonds. The serpent, a symbol of light and rebirth, appears as the main motif on the multilayer dial. Its body and its honeycomb scales are formed by the application of fine gold bands. Then the gold-plated hornet’s nest and the number 12 are applied, creating a realistic effect as the serpent entwines its body around the gold ribbons. The body of the snake was then hand-painted with different shades of purple and, in the final step, 51 blue, rose and purple gem-stones have been added onto the sculpture, along with two red rubies for the eyes.

The multi-lever construction, a true example of fine artisanal craftsmanship, is housed in a sparkling slim case, designed to suit delicate wrists. The watch measures 38mm in diameter and a mere 9.37 mm in height. Equipped with Montblanc’s patented ExoTourbillon automatic calibre MB M29.24, the watch comes with an in-house designed quick stop-second mechanism and a micro-rotor. The case of the superior ExoTourbillon is disconnected from the balance wheel, and also, the weight of the cage is minimal, which results in higher precision and improved isochronism. The barrel provides a generous 48-hour power reserve.
