<a href="https://www.hommessingapore.com/style/montblanc-celebrates-the-library-spirit-campaign-in-shanghai" title="Montblanc Celebrates The Library Spirit Campaign in Shanghai" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Montblanc</a>&rsquo;s latest holiday curation is inspired by the fantastical wintry alpine spirit of the Maison&rsquo;s formidable namesake. And why not? <a href="https://www.hommessingapore.com/style/montblanc-meisterstuck-selection-soft-collection-accessories" title="Modern Movement with Montblanc Meisterst&uuml;ck Selection Soft" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mont Blanc</a> is a dream. Its superlative vistas leave an indelible impression. Apr&egrave;s-hike, there&rsquo;s no greater bliss than unwinding at a luxury spa nestled within its peaks. Or enjoying a pint of crisp Brasserie du <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/living/montblanc-arthur-conan-doyle-collection-sherlock-holmes" title="Channel Your Inner Sherlock with Montblanc's Exclusive New Collection of Accessories" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mont Blanc</a> beer on a cafe terrace by the glacial river Arve. The festive selection is packed with elegant lifestyle essentials that embody these picturesque moments, from writing instruments to document your adventure with, to functional travel companions and adventuresome timepieces.
The Meisterst&uuml;ck Document Case fits right at home in a classy Chamonix resort overlooking the majestic range. Crafted from a new deep shine ink blue leather, the stylish briefcase speaks the refined language of the nib &mdash; a <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/living/montblanc-maison-kitsune-capsule-collection" title="Montblanc Partners with Maison Kitsun&eacute; For a Playful Collection of Fine Leather Goods" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Montblanc</a> signature, naturally &mdash; by way of details in the stitching, zip pullers and handles. For a leisurely ride up the famed Aiguille du Midi cable car, the Meisterst&uuml;ck Messenger, also in ink blue, holds all your knick-knacks as you come seemingly within touching distance of Mont Blanc itself.
Make a statement on the trails with the active Extreme 3.0 Backpack. The sporty and spacious bag is adorned with a contemporary &ldquo;carbon fibre&rdquo; motif and secured with the climbing-inspired M LOCK 4810 buckle for a utilitarian feel, easily carrying all you&rsquo;ll need for a day&rsquo;s hike. Other leather assortment like the Meisterst&uuml;ck Card Holder in grey, Meisterst&uuml;ck Wallet in burgundy with sfumato effect, M Logo Bracelet and reversible Horseshoe Pin Buckle Belt outfit your stay back at the hotel.

Of course, you&rsquo;ll want to log your adventures in Mont Blanc. Flip open the special edition Happy Holidays Notebook #146, featuring artwork inspired by the snowy landscape on the cover, and pen down your thoughts and experiences using one of Montblanc&rsquo;s exalted writing instruments. Top of the line is the Meisterst&uuml;ck 149 Fountain Pen. Crafted in precious black resin and topped with a solid gold nib, the &ldquo;masterpiece&rdquo; makes jotting down something as prosaic as an itinerary into a luxurious affair.
The latest StarWalker writing instrument collection finds its way to Europe&rsquo;s highest peak. Inspired by the stars and galaxies, the StarWalker SpaceBlue Metal Fineliner&rsquo;s design recalls the dramatic Widmanst&auml;tten patterns found in metallic meteorites. Coated in dark ruthenium and capped with a deep space blue sub-dome, the futuristic writing instrument is a reminder of your proximity to the firmament above.
For something a little more playful, try the Heritage Rouge et Noir &ldquo;Baby&rdquo; Fountain Pen on for size. Montblanc&rsquo;s petite pens from the 1910s and 1920s helped evolve writing culture by making it portable, quickly becoming a travel essential in their time. Today, they are refurbished with 21st century craftsmanship, featuring precious lacquer in ivory and gold-coated fittings to elevate the joys of writing on the go.

What better way to capture time spent on Mont Blanc than with this trio of timepieces? The 1858 Iced Sea Automatic Date has the distinction of being the Maison&rsquo;s first diver, featuring a textured blue dial inspired by the Mer de Glace, the main glacier of the massif. The dial&rsquo;s mesmerising effect is achieved via a traditional brushing technique called gratt&eacute;bois&eacute;; elsewhere, the watch comes with 300m water resistance, a unidirectional bi-colour ceramic bezel, and an interchangeable blue rubber strap with fine adjustment system to traverse the snowy terrain.
For another perspective of Mont Blanc, look to the Star Legacy Grey Automatic Date Limited Edition. Here, the dial motif is inspired by the rocky countenance of the southern-facing side where snow has difficulty settling on. The cool glacial grey shade is illuminated by warm rose gold-coated hands and numerals, like golden light shining on a vertical bluff.
The 1858 Geosphere 0 Oxygen South Pole Limited Edition is the most intrepid of the bunch. Inspired by the daring exploits of the world&rsquo;s greatest explorers, the watch is housed in an ultralight 42mm titanium case completely devoid of oxygen, which eliminates fogging and oxidisation to preserve the movement and its precision. Limited to 1990 pieces, the number pays homage to the year Montblanc Mark Maker Reinhold Messner made history by being the first man to trek across Antarctica without animal or motorised support. An engraved caseback depicts a view of the horizon with the Aurora Australis, while the iced blue sfumato dial evokes the glacial chill of the South Pole.
