For more than one hundred years the name Montblanc has stood for the art of writing, while the snow-covered peak of Mont Blanc has symbolised the high-quality status of the brand with the distinctive white star. Montblanc??s classic fountain pen, the Meisterst??ck first produced in 1924, has become a cult object. Not only because of its timeless design, but also because of the unmistakable values which are so characteristic of the entire Montblanc collection.

They are established values that take on a new and greater significance as modern life develops faster and faster; values such as tradition, fine craftsmanship and an appreciation of the need to take time for the essentials ? for reflection, feelings, beauty and culture. Every Montblanc product created over the years bears witness to these values.
