the logo is about 100 years old
was the first logo they used on their fountain pens next to the Montblanc star; the discontinued Villeret edition has a different logo as you can see in various posts.
When they launched the 1858 collection they decided to use this very old logo with the mountain massive integrated in the brand name
Montblanc 1858 Split Seconds. My new obsession.
New, I don't know since I fell in love from the first minute I saw it in 2019. And the 2020 edition, with its titanium case and blue enamel dial doesn't help a lot to forget it! Even if I still have to see this last iteration in the real life, just to be ...

The movement and finish are sublime of course. But IMO there is a branding issue: being co-branded (Minerva-Montblanc) and with a wide range of finishes and price points, the package is difficult to read for most people who are not die-hard movement fans....
