Perfectly mastered watchmaking design codes, rigorous shapes and volumes, a resolutely func- tional side to its nature... and then a sudden in- vitation to dream and wander. The Bohème Day & Night Red Gold and the Bohème Moongarden Blue by Montblanc perfectly express the thoroughly independent character of this collection. The heart of a complex mechanism with pure, stringent lines conceals a powerfully disturbing sense of free-spirited lyricism. Witness the delicate sunburst guilloché motif featuring such a regular structure that is slashed open to reveal a celestial display. And whereas the first of these models with its day/night indication is still relatively demure, the second draws us into a lunar garden pervaded by a sense of occult romance. By specifically spelling out the name of the full moon for each month, its unique complication carries us back to ancient times when this heavenly body set the cadence of human life. Sensuality, elegance, refinement: while these beauties are endowed with numerous qualities, their true soul lies in their ability to make us dream. They embody the magical paradox of revealing time while whisking us off to a place where it no longer exists.
