This is an interesting marriage between a horse racing event, and a watch based on a historic measuring device that was designed to measure horse racing times. It is one of the few times I have actually seen a watch fit so well with the event that the manufacturer is sponsoring. This year Montblanc watches will be the promotional partner for the 26th Breeder’s Cup World Championship horse racing event. A highly regarded racing event noteworthy for the class of riders as well as the impressive thoroughbred horses that participate.

Luxury brand Montblanc has concluded the celebratory inaugural events for a grand new flagship boutique on Rue de la Paix, in the heart of Paris's opulent shopping district.  Standing two storeys and covering some 500-square meters of space, the store is among the largest of its kind in the world, and effectively conveys the prestige of Montblanc as a renowned house of exceptional writing instruments, fine timepieces, and high jewelry.  It is the fourth of Montblanc's exclusive stores in Paris, and represents a new crown jewel in the brand's constellation of European boutiques.
