Nearly every watch enthusiast has, at some point, daydreamed about creating a timepiece of their own design. Luckily for those who want to take their own watch design ideas to the next level, Montblanc announced on November 27 that they will host the Montblanc X Facer Design Contest. Held in conjunction with Facer, the world’s largest smartwatch face hosting and design platform, the contest will run from November 27 to December 27 and will allow enthusiasts to design their own unique faces for the Montblanc Summit 2 smartwatch.

Twelve winners will be selected overall to have their designs featured on the Summit 2 and receive a Summit 2 of their own signed by Montblanc creative director Zaim Kamal. Submissions will be judged by a panel of industry experts, including Kamal, Montblanc New Technologies Director Dr. Felix Frank Obschonka, Facer co-founder and CEO Ariel Vardi, and aBlogtoWatch’s own founder Ariel Adams. Submissions will be judged on quality, creativity, use of the current theme, and innovative use of smartwatch features.
