Story
Montblanc marked one hundred years of the Meisterstück in Geneva with an evening of watches, drawing and personal encounters.
For each guest, Mauro Carraro made a bespoke portrait live in Royal Blue ink and 24-carat gold leaf. The encounter joined the tradition of writing with the precision of watchmaking: blue line, warm paper and a small intervention of gold.
