Following the successful generational change from Summit to Summit 2 in 2018, Montblanc is complementing its smartwatch lineup with another innovation. Summit 2+ will be the first luxury smartwatch that can directly activate cellular connectivity right in the Wear OS by Google app on Android smartphones. The new wearable, the Montblanc Summit 2+ Smartwatch enhances its owner’s luxury business lifestyle by staying connected at all times, even when the owner is away from his or her smartphone. The distinctive Montblanc design gives traditional watch lovers ways to express themselves whilst housing top-notch technology inside a 43.5mm pure steel case. A Snapdragon 3100, extended battery power of 440mAh and 1.28 inch AMOLED Screen are elegantly linked to a 22mm exchangeable strap.

“Montblanc is taking a bold next step in the luxury wearables sector with its new Summit 2+, offering even more capabilities through Wear OS by Google, “ says Nicolas Baretzki, CEO Montblanc. “Designed to be a powerful daily companion, Summit 2 + links you to the world around you, enabling to stay active and connected at all times.”

Inspired by the design codes of the Montblanc 1858 collection, the new iteration of Summit watches offers several design expressions.
