"The new Timewalker Collection is reminiscent of the golden age of classic racing and a time when courage and innovation paved the way to victory. And when professional timekeeping was not an exception. Minerva – today's Montblanc manufacturer – was one of the few select houses which set the pace with their pioneering, professional chronographs...," says MONTBLANC.
The new worldwide online MONTBLANC Timewalker Watches campaign was photographed by Marc TRAUTMANN with Hugh Jackman on a racetrack in Salt Lake City. The very rare Ferrari Dino 246 was contributed for the shoot by a collector. "The car hissed like a predator when he drove his fast laps," Marc tells GoSee. The campaign was creatively supported by CD Jonas Keller and AD Felix Umbach. Art buying was in the hands of Kerstin Mende, and the agency was Scholz & Friends Hamburg.
