Something to write home about: the Montblanc Heritage Collection 1912 Limited Edition |
Montblanc
has unveiled the Montblanc Heritage Collection 1912 Limited Edition, the first
edition in a collection which pays tribute to the past ten decades of Montblanc
writing instruments and communicates selected historical pens in a contemporary
spirit.
Restricted to only 333 pieces, the
fountain pen features a new two-step screw mechanism which combines the
retractable nib movement as well as the piston-filling function. Made from
titanium, the Limited Edition boasts a new nib with a triangle-shaped heart
hole, which has been especially designed for the Heritage Collection to ensure
a soft style of writing. A floating mother-of-pearl emblem is revealed in the
top of the cap which is complemented by three “slip on clips”, each
honouring a design movement from that era.

The “Art Deco Clip” in 925 Sterling
Silver, is reminiscent of the Art Deco movement in design and architecture,
whilst the “Snake Clip” in German Silver characterises the spirit of
change that epitomised the era. The “Triangle Clip” in 750 solid gold is
a modern interpretation of the classic clip shape from the early 20th century.
The Montblanc Heritage Collection 1912 Limited Edition can be purchased
from Montblanc boutiques as of October 2012 at a price of £8,500.00
(including VAT).
