Mont Blanc Writing Instruments – A Thumbnail Review
Mont Blanc - Writing Instruments Par Excellence!

Mont Blanc History:

Mont Blanc is a continuing saga of vision, endeavour, struggle and achievement short of fulfillment that started out in the harshest environment of pre-World War I, when people died not just for lack of a few crumbs of bread, but chiefly for lack of a few crumbs of commiseration and empathy.

Founded in 1906 with humble yet inspired beginning, Mont Blanc has taken giant strides in product quality development during the pre and post-War eras to create an indelible name for itself in the world of writing instruments. The name Mont Blanc itself was chosen to symbolize the supreme grandeur and majesty of Mont Blanc, the tallest peak in Europe; the nib, engraved with 4810, the height in meters of Mont Blanc. The Montblanc logo - a six-sided white star adorning every Montblanc writing instrument - depicts the pure white, driven snow-cover of Mont Blanc's six glacial valleys, symbolizing Montblanc's commitment to exceptional quality through the finest European craftsmanship.

Giving a Mont Blanc writing instrument as a personalised gift reflects the uniqueness of the recipient, highlighting and enhancing his or her individuality. You can even have your Mont Blanc pens engraved to your specifications. To cap it all, Mont Blanc have introduced such collections over the years that you will be enchanted, captivated and never rest till you become the proud owner of a Mont Blanc Writing Instument!

Mont Blanc Fountain Pens: The FOUNTAIN PEN has been the anchor of the Montblanc family of writing instruments for over a century. Hand-crafted with precious metals such as gold and platinum, and precious jewels such as diamonds and rubies, every Mont Blanc Fountain Pen – with or without embellishments - evokes feelings of admiration, respect, and even ecstasy! Just holding a Mont Blanc fountain pen fills you with self-confidence, resonance and power to convey your ideas or thoughts correctly onto paper; no distractions, diversions such as blotting ink and inconsistent ink-flow!

Mont Blanc Meisterstück:
Introduced in 1924, the Meisterstück 149 is a paradigm of excellence. As its German name suggests, this inspiring, imposing and impressive writing instrument is indeed a ‘stroke of genius’. The ebony-black precious resin barrel and cap, contrasted with the three gold-plated rings and gold-plated clip, arouse self- confidence and power. Writing with a Meisterstück 149 is an exquisite incomparable experience. A Meisterstück Pen is an affordable and ideal gift to professionals from any field; available in 6 categories, 38 models and 7 writing systems.

Mont Blanc Bohème:
Bohème is the most bejewelled of Mont Blanc pens – the first “new” writing collection introduced by Montblanc since 1924 – Boheme symbolizes the graceful touch of femininity from the humble and frugal to the authoritatively regal, from the simple Boheme Rouge adorned with a solitary ruby, to the fabulous Boheme Royale, adorned with as many as 1,430 scintillating diamonds, its clip crowned by a solitary, paramount cut diamond! The Boheme collection is available in 5 categories, 16 models and 4 writing systems.

Mont Blanc StarWalker:
The Starwalker collection is a more modern, rather futuristic and streamlined writing instrument. This would be the perfect gift for the engineer or architect on your list. The collection is not as large as the Meisterstück or the Boheme but of the same uncompromising quality; available in 5 categories, 8 Models, and 4 writing systems.

Etoile De Montblanc:
The captivating feature of this collection is the stunning Mont Blanc star – a 2.5mm sparkling diamond - cut from a genuine white diamond (0.06ct) floating in the transparent dome of the cap.
The clip is suggestive of a graceful woman's arm. A great gift of lasting value to give to a professional! Available in 5 categories, 5 Models and 4 writing systems.

Mont Blanc Marlene Dietrich:
The Marlene Dietrich collection symbolizes a more independent and authoritarian (and perhaps vehement and modern) than any other Mont Blanc Collection, representative of femininity featuring a heart shaped vent hole on the nib.
