I was on the MB website looking at the MB boutique address in future planned trip destination when this question occured to me. Where is the largest MB boutique worldwide?

NYC Madison Ave. Flagship is either largest or in top few

NYC? Hmmmm, must go out of my way to go there some time... Ooooh. This is probably where I can see the ultra limited editions!

But the next question is do they have a bouncer unless you can afford it they won't let you in

The largest MB boutique is located in Shanghai. The following text is copy from the official MB website.

November 22, 2007, Shanghai, China – Montblanc, the world’s leading luxury company, unveils its worldwide largest boutique in Shanghai CITIC Square in China today.

Located in one of the most prestigious shopping malls in China, the two-story Montblanc boutique covers a total of 610 square meters. The first floor of the boutique is reserved exclusively for women, highlighting exquisite female jewels, especially the renowned Montblanc High Jewelry. The second floor contains Montblanc’s luxury items including the Haute Horlogerie Montblanc Collection Villeret 1858 that epitomizes 150 years of traditional Swiss handmade craftsmanship.

The granite stone from the Mont Blanc Mountain, the highest peak in Europe, epitomizes the essence of Montblanc given its timeless craftsmanship. And the authentic artwork of Stephan Huber, a revered European painter, deftly captures Montblanc’s roots in art and culture.

“China has huge potential for the future as it is now Montblanc’s No. 1 market in Asia and No. 5 market in the world.” said Mr. Lutz Bethge, CEO and Managing Director of Montblanc International, “The launch of the worldwide largest Montblanc boutique in Shanghai has fully demonstrated our confidence and commitment to this revered country. We will bring the best Montblanc artpieces to meet the needs of the sophisticated Chinese customers.”

Aside from luxury items including female jewelry, watches, leather goods, writing instruments and accessories, the new boutique will also feature limited editions and exclusive products to celebrate this grand opening:

• Etoile de Montblanc Haute Joaillerie: Five High Jewelry with the flawless “Montblanc Diamond.” Breathtaking not only due to its extremely high standard of carat, color and clarity, but also because of the unique cut that is owned and patented by Montblanc. Artistically cut to resemble the Montblanc star, the high degree of clarity and color produces a brilliant diamond.

• Solitaire Ring with the patented Montblanc star diamond, only for the most unique Montblanc ladies who admire the romance and true love.


• Pink gold Montblanc 4810, a new interpretation of the classical bracelet, pendant and rings, whereby the simple round form changes into a flattering star shape.

• Montblanc Collection Villeret 1858 -- Seconde Authentique “Unique piece „Haute Joaillerie”, only ONE in the world to celebrate the grand moment of the CITIC boutique opening

• Starisma-Alcina leather bag, a limited edition (only six) for Montblanc’s CITIC boutique. An invitingly supple leather bag with 300 diamonds forming the Montblanc logo

• Boheme Papillon, five individual designs customized to the five most beautiful countries: China (available in Montblanc CITIC boutique), USA, France, Japan and Italy.


• Prince Rainier III Pen, inspired by the Monaco royal crown and emblem, only 81 of these pens are available in the world

• The Emerald Collection, (including watch, pen and cufflinks), is a venerable set for the Montblanc gentleman who exudes prestige and generosity in all facets of his life.

“Montblanc items are timeless luxury art pieces crafted by the mind,” said Mr. James Siano, President and CEO of Montblanc Asia Pacific, “with the opening of Montblanc’s worldwide largest boutique in Shanghai, we hope that Chinese customers will enjoy the timeless design and unmistakable values presented by Montblanc, values such as tradition and fine craftsmanship; and an appreciation of the essentials: thoughts, feelings, aesthetics and culture.”

Hmmmmmm, going to need some planning...

I'll have to stop in next time I'm in the neighborhood

PRAG, pick me up when you're going there. I'm on your route there anyway.

Oh Yah! Right along the way...

Yes, Shanghai, China.

The manager of Singapore Boutique told me that.

It's Huuuuuuuge.

Anyone have an address for it?

K

I got this from the boutique locator on the MB site. There are 6 boutiques in Shanghai, but I guess this is the one.

Shop 109 & 218, Citic Square,
No. 1168 Nanjing West Road,
200041 Shanghai, China.
Tel: (+86) 21-5213 6611

I would have expected it to be on nanjing road, probably nearer the Bund.

thanks,

Kurt

You've been to Shanghai?

I've spent a few weeks there and plan on spending a few more before the end of the year. That's why I was looking for the address so I might visit it when I'm there

Kurt

Great. Then you could tell us about your experience there. It would be nice to know what it's like.

As far as the ones in the states go, I think Las Vegas' flagship store is the biggest.

Sounds like the one in China is the biggest overall.

You are correct..the largest montblanc is now in Vegas. The new flagship at the Palazzo is pushing a little over 3,000 square feet.

So which is the biggest in Europe? Anybody know?

The most important is the boutique in Champs Elysees. I don't think it is the biggest. But it is provided with the rarest limited edition pens by the MB factory . To give you some exampes


Che means Champs Elysees boutique. The number at the end of each line is the number of pieces produced for each pen.
