Montblanc unveils Montblanc Heritage Collection 1912 Limited Edition

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.

Pen to Paper: Montblanc

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).

Montblanc Donation Pen honouring Classical Conductors 2012: Johannes Brahms

Montblanc pays tribute to the great virtuoso of the Romantic era with the creation of the Donation Pen Johannes Brahms Special Edition. His exceptional talent for musical expression and his outstanding contribution to the evolution of composition place Brahms for posterity alongside Bach and Beethoven in the great canon of classical composers in 2012, says the luxury pen company.

The Montblanc Donation Johannes Brahams

  The overall design of this Special Edition reflects the style of the composer’s music: traditionalist yet pioneering and inventive. The handcrafted Montblanc masterpiece is complemented by details inspired by the fascinating world of classical music to which Brahms dedicated his life.

  The cap and barrel of the writing instrument are made of black precious resin enhanced with platinumplated fittings. The clip shaped like a tuning fork and the five lines of a music staff decorating the cap bring to mind the excitement of his symphony scores and orchestras tuning up before a performance.

   To complete the classical music experience, each Johannes Brahms Special Edition is accompanied by a tuning fork: a vital tool that guides a musician with its perfect pitch or tone through the maze of musical notes.

  For decades, Montblanc has nurtured artistic talent across multiple disciplines including art, theatre, opera and classical music. With the purchase of each Donation Pen Johannes Brahms Special Edition, 20 Euros from the fountain pen and 10 Euros from the ballpoint pen or rollerball will be donated to carefully selected cultural projects relating to classical music, thus supporting young artists worldwide and carrying on the heritage left behind by Brahms.

  The Montblanc Donation Pen Johannes Brahms Special Edition is available as Fountain Pen, Rollerball and Ballpoint Pen in all Montblanc Boutiques from May 2012.
