The Montblanc Sunglasses 2008 Spring/Summer Collection
Montblanc products combine the values of traditional craftsmanship and timeless aesthetics with the expression of a refined lifestyle. This is also inherent in the Montblanc Sunglasses Collection being strongly aligned to the other Montblanc Collections, reinterpreting the classical Double-Ring-design on the temples or the elegant Montblanc signet in the style of the Montblanc Jewellery Collection. Like in other product categories, the Montblanc collection has in recent times successfully attracted women by offering a wide variety of female styles.
The new 2008 Spring/Summer Montblanc Sunglasses Collection is the result of a carefully orchestrated blend of aesthetic values and timeless design: sophisticated flair is combined with modern motifs, expressed in unique materials with unmistakable style. The Montblanc sunglasses 2008 collection includes the Montblanc sunglasses MB 173S - G17 model featured above.
The men’s Montblanc sunglass styles are predominantly in metal, with Urban Classic character. The aviator sunglasses, in drop and square formats, are styled in the classic version with flat fronts and temples in enamel-effect acetate recalling the materials used for the famous Montblanc pens. The latter also provided the inspiration for the nib motif on the temples of some models, while others feature details from the Leather Collections.
Fascinating new features can be found in the circular guilloche motifs enriching the temples, in reference to the StarWalker Doué writing instruments as well as the Double Ring design.
The women’s Montblanc sunglass models are strongly aligned to the Montblanc Jewellery Collections. They are distinctive for their highly sophisticated, precious details that enhance the wide and curving frames, with rounded, square and mask-style forms.
The Montblanc signet is creatively reinterpreted throughout the new Sunglasses Collection. It comes as a double-porthole one circular, one star-shaped on the stems of some frames inspired by the links of the Silver Jewellery Star Collections chain necklace.
On the Crystella model the Montblanc signet becomes a playful luxury in satin-finish gold with glossy edge and small a Swarovski crystal rotating around its profile.
Classic rings on the temples provide a distinctive touch to the square frames. The acetate materials are enhanced by jacquard or mother-of-pearl effects, in dark shades with harmonizing lens colours, or in ivory with smoke lenses.
