Montblanc unveils its exclusive 'Haute Joaillerie' collection at Jewellery Arabia Show in Bahrain

"We will be showcasing our Lumiere set valued at BHD 2 million, Éclat, Mélodies Précieuses jewellery collection sets of "Première Rencontre" is a diamond set within the collection which comes as a string of star-shaped diamonds, "A petits pas" are crafted in diamonds and dark spinel stones and "Nuits d'été", (Summer night) inspired from famous Opera repertoire," said Mr. Joe Nahhas, Brand Director of Montblanc.

For the first time in Jewellery Arabia, Montblanc will be paying tribute to Academy Award winning actress Ingrid Bergman. Montblanc Edition Ingrid Bergman celebrates Ingrid Bergman's unrivalled status as a cultural icon and also pays tribute to the outstanding array of three Academy Awards which, along with a "Tony" Award and two Emmy Awards, acknowledged the high points of her lengthy career, which was launched by a chance encounter.

The highlight of Montblanc's exhibit in Bahrain will be the jewellery studded Lady Elegance watch and Star Nicolas Rieussec watch. The Montblanc Profile Lady Elegance Diamonds, which presents the legendary Montblanc star in a shiny and unique style.

The focus of the luxurious Profile lady Elegance watch is the exceptional beauty of the Montblanc diamond. This solitaire has a unique cut: the patented Montblanc cut. Intricate calculations and the experience of the best stone cutters were necessary to define the shape and angle of the 43 facets, which create a perfect star - the Montblanc star.

Along with Lady Elegance, Montblanc will also spotlight the Montblanc Star Nicolas Rieussec Monopusher Chronograph. This watch is the first one ever to feature a movement that has been developed, produced and assembled in Montblanc's own workshops. The two chronograph movements (the MB R100 hand wound caliber and the MB R200 automatic) are yet another highlight in a success story going back more than ten years for Montblanc watches:

This jewellery event will be featuring the most talented, cutting edge designers and innovative international collections from 28 countries from around the world.

The Jewellery Arabia show will run from November 17 to 21, 2009. The halls of the Bahrain International Exhibition Centre will glitter with the finest gems, jewels and exciting new designs as the ultimate industry showcase in the Middle East returns,

Exhibitor profile includes independent retail outlets, retail chains, designer manufacturers, wholesalers, laboratories, publications and service providers. The event focuses on jewellery collections bringing together the world's most celebrated watch and jewellery brands, in addition to unique pieces and collector's items.

Mr. Nahhas said Montblanc is enjoying a remarkable growth phase across the spectrum from writing instruments to watches and accessories to leather goods. The brand is moving further upscale with a more sophisticated appearance for ladies' watches and more complications for the men's models. Montblanc will certainly reap further rewards by creating more complicated timepieces for the benefit of seasoned collectors and watch aficionados".
