New York City, March 12th2020 – Montblanc introduced its first ever Smart Over-Ear Headphones, the MB 01 and Summit 2+, the newest iteration of its smartwatch at a global launch event in New York City. With these two technology innovations, the Maison is expanding its tech travel assortment for connected, luxury business travellers.
For one night only, the World of McIntosh Townhouse, a historic building in New York’s SoHo neighbourhood, was transformed into an immersive Montblanc experience with guests relaxing in Business Class Lounge Seats equipped with headphones and touch screens that allowed them to put the headphone functions to the test in a travel environment. The volume of the tracks by DJ Pamela Tick inside the party proved the perfect test environment for the headphone’s noise cancellation technology.
