Montblanc

Montblanc was established in 1908 by German financier Alfred Nehemias and engineer August Eberstein, despite having its manufacturing facilities in Switzerland. We'll go ahead and declare this a German corporation since the company's headquarters are in Hamburg.

The fact that this watchmaker is more than simply a watchmaker and hasn't been for a very long time is another intriguing aspect of them. Montblanc initially produced high-end pens and leather items, and it didn't start making watches until 1997.

However, they decided to build them from the ground up rather of simply buying a decent watch and adding their name to it, which helped them become well-known in the watchmaking community.
