Montblanc Range Guide

Montblanc's history goes back to 1906, with the Meisterstück range dating back to 1924. And while they now produce a range of luxury goods including fragrances and watches, their real history is in pens, especially piston-filled fountain pens.

Montblanc Meisterstück

If you ask most people to imagine a luxury pen, there's a good chance that what they have in mind is the Montblanc Meisterstück. It's the iconic design - cigar-shaped, with rounded ends, that big gold nib, and the Montblanc snowcap logo on the end of the cap.

First made in 1924, Meisterstück is German for 'masterpiece', and the name is applied only to Montblanc's very best pens. The 149 is the very large 'oversize' version, but for those who want a less imposing pen, they're also available in LeGrand and Classique sizes - each a little smaller than the previous.

Many luxury goods brands also make pens. But Montblanc is different - they've been a pen company all through their history. While they have expanded their range, making beautiful watches, notebooks, leather goods, and travel accessories, writing instruments are still at their core. They are one of the many pen companies who has moved the piston filling system forward over the years, and they created what we now think of as 'standard' ink cartridges. If you think of a 'classic' luxury fountain pen, it's likely the image in your mind is a Montblanc Meisterstuck.

The Meisterstuck is the classic Montblanc pen - a design that began in 1924, and hasn't changed since 1952. It's a beautifully timeless design, so why would it?

Piston-filled fountain pen, using bottled ink. Montblanc were one of the leading companies in the development of piston mechanisms for filling fountain pens, making them part of the reason why it's such a reliable and practical way to fill pens to this day. Easy filling with a large ink capacity makes for a practical pen to use every day, and using bottled ink is cost-effective as well as being good for the environment.

Supplied in a giftbox. 

Medium nibs from stock, other nib sizes available with a lead time of 3-4 weeks.

The StarWalker is Montblanc at their more contemporary, and this PolarGreen edition is inspired by the Aurora, or Northern Lights. The green barrel features an engraved pattern of waves, echoing the shapes made in the sky by aurora, and the finial at the end of the cap glows in the dark.

Filled using Montblanc ink cartridges, available in a wide range of colours to suit your style. Fitted with a 14-carat rhuthenium coated nib.

A more modern style and shape overall is complemented beautifully by the transparent dome on the top of the cap. Montblanc's own logo sits under the dome. As with the Meisterstück, there are special and limited edition versions of the Starwalker, but all retain that space-age inspiration.


Limited Editions

Alongside their standard range of timeless classics, Montblanc loves to make special limited edition pens, taking inspiration from great stories, civilisations, people, and more.

Montblanc Notebooks

Notebooks are fairly obvious accessories for a company that makes luxury pens. But many other brands would just commission some notebooks with their logo on them. Not Montblanc - they started their own manufacturing facility in Italy, where they could make beautiful leather notebooks to the very highest standards.
