Montblanc

Created in 1906 by a stationer, a banker and an engineer, Montblanc quickly became synonymous with the “modern” new century, offering inventors and craftsmen a fountain pen that was a technical and commercial breakthrough. The Meisterstück fountain pen was introduced in 1924. Its immediate success was recognized worldwide, and it was the beginning of a legend.

Today the award-winning design is showcased in museums around the world, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.  By the end of the 1920s, Montblanc had expanded to more than 60 countries.
Based on this tradition of quality craftsmanship and modern design, Montblanc introduced the Meisterstück Leather Collection in 1995 and stylish accessories for men in 1996.

The brand’s first watch collection was introduced at the 1997 Salon International Haute Horlogerie in Geneva, and in less than ten years, the brand was rated by Goldman Sachs as one of the top fifty luxury watchmakers, ranked alongside Rolex, Tag Heuer and Movado.

In 2005, the international accessory brand launched three female jewelry collections, the Star Collection, the Bohème Collection, and the Profile Collection. The multi-faceted jewelry is made of the finest .925 sterling silver accented with colorful stones, diamonds, mother-of-pearl or precious resin.

The year 2006 marked Montblanc’s 100th anniversary, and in homage to this special birthday, the luxury brand presented an exclusive selection of elegant writing instruments, watches and accessories. The famous Montblanc star is represented in the anniversary products by a patented, precious, star-shaped cut diamond.

The StarWalker Collection: Writing instruments with contemporary design features
The most noticeable feature of the Montblanc StarWalker Collection is the revolutionary new design of the famous trademark star. Like a wandering asteroid in the firmament, the legendary Montblanc star seems to float in the transparent cap top, and thus gives the edition its name. The jet-black precious resin body contrasts with a completely platinum-plated cap with a gleaming satin finish. The surface has a linearly structured texture, thus giving the user a totally new writing feeling. The StarWalker Doué Edition is available as a fountain pen with a rhodium-plated 14-karat gold nib, a ballpoint pen and a fineliner.

Montblanc Meisterstück Solitaire Platinum Plated Facet:  A classic look with an eye toward the future
Featuring a modern cubic pattern with the familiar and unmistakable Meisterstück silhouette, this new writing instrument has an up-to-date and eyecatching look. The Solitaire Platinum Plated Facet is available as a piston-filled fountain pen or a cartridge- or converter-filled fountain pen, a ballpoint, rollerball and mechanical pencil.

Bohéme Writing Instruments
Elegantly shaped with a flat top, small size, and crafted of precious black resin, the Montblanc Bohème features a jewel in the clip. It is available as a fountain pen, ballpoint or rollerball pen and mechanical pencil. The fountain pen features a retractable nib like the very first “safety” fountain pens Montblanc ever made. It swivels up like a lipstick, making it just perfect for writing poetry in a Parisian garret, or retrieving from a purse to sign the check at a chic European bistro.  

International Brand Ambassadors
Montblanc has appointed opera star Katherine Jenkins as one of its international brand ambassadors. Jenkins is featured in Montblanc’s advertising campaign and performed at the opening of the new Montblanc boutiques in Tokyo and London in the autumn of 2006.

Nicolas Cage, Montblanc’s third international brand ambassador, presents the “Montblanc TimeWalker Chronograph Automatic” and “Montblanc Star Chronograph GMT Automatic”.

Like all Montblanc watches, these new timepieces are made in the company’s own watch production facility Montblanc Montre S.A. in Le Locle, Switzerland. The Montblanc TimeWalker Chronograph Automatic has a clear, straight forward design, featuring an uncluttered, modern face and skeletonized horns and clasps, and it offers a wide range of chronograph functions.

The sophisticated, classic counterpart to this chronograph is the Montblanc Star Chronograph GMT Automatic, featuring an officially certified COSC chronometer and a 24-hour GMT display for a second time zone. Visible behind the sapphire glass base, the movement bears all the hallmarks of the very best Swiss watchmaking.

Montblanc, a brand whose roots are deeply entwined with writing culture, is committed to supporting a broad variety of art and cultural projects. The brand’s activities in this field span several decades and include the Montblanc de la Culture Arts Patronage Award, honoring outstanding patrons of the arts since 1992; the partnership with the Philharmonia of Nations, that includes young musicians from more than 40 countries; the Montblanc Young Directors’ Project, a part of the Salzburg Festival and a competition for young international theatre directors; and the Young Artist World Patronage Program, dedicated to supporting talented young contemporary artists on a worldwide basis.
