PARIS, Oct 5, 2009 / —- Opening of their grandest flagship boutiques in the world in the heart of Paris’s Haute Joaillerie district last Oct 1, Montblanc International held a gala night wherein the guest list read like the European social register, featuring some of the world’s most recognizable faces.

Held at Montblanc’s 7 Rue de la Paix boutique, the guest were immediately mesmerized by a ten-foot tall glass chandelier decorated with over 630,000 Swarovski crystals, a unique piece especially created for the boutique.

This grandiose parlor leads the way to several product-specific areas, starting with areas dedicated to the timepieces manufactured in Le Locle and the bespoke timepieces handcrafted at the Institut Minerva de Recherche en Haute Horlogerie.

In the end, everyone gathered on the top floor which hosts the intimate “Salons Privés” that have been designed to allow select customers to discover a jewelry atelier in privacy and perfectly demonstrate all the savoir-faire of the house of Montblanc.
