Montblanc celebrates 90 years of its iconic Meisterstück

Iconic since 1924, Montblanc's Meisterstück celebrates 90 years of achievement.

Timeless, the fountain pen has long become a symbol of the brand values: finest craftsmanship, traditional manufacturing techniques, precious materials, refined aesthetics and best functionality. The Meisterstück ranks among the world's most famous luxury icons. Today, it also continues to assert Montblanc's savoir-faire and vision for the future of luxury writing instruments.

Manufactured in Hamburg since 1924, the Meisterstück truly embodies Montblanc's quest for perfection. Over the years, it became the meaningful companion of generations of scholars and scientists, poets and artists, statesmen and industry leaders alike. Its sophisticated character further turned it into a unique writing instrument: more, a reference.

True to the 'Meisterstück spirit', Montblanc unveils its Meisterstück Collection: a unique selection of sensual leather goods, meticulously crafted timepieces, refined jewellery and of course a new Meisterstück writing instrument collection that further 'writes' the story of such a timeless icon. The Collection celebrates 90 years of the spirit of Meisterstück, introducing icons for the time to come.

Crafted in Hamburg, every nib is hand-sculpted from solid gold by master craftsmen that oversee 35 skilled steps before an additional 70 steps are required to assemble and further test the unmistakable Meisterstück. A minute attention to detail has been further enhanced for the 90th years.

WRITING INSTRUMENTS
The Meisterstück Collection features a series modes: from the quintessential 149 Fountain Pen, to Classique and LeGrand Fountain pens, to a Rollerball and Ballpoint. Each writing instrument is artfully crafted in precious black resin, is adorned with red gold-plated fittings and is offered in distinct gift box wrapped with a, 1924 replica sleeve.

LEATHER GOODS
Available in black and beige, the line Meisterstück Soft Grain features soft grain leather with a sensual natural touch through a series of briefcases, messenger and tote bags; plus many more accessories such as wallets, business card and passport holders.

MEN'S JEWELRY
Inspired by the Meisterstück's iconic details, the collection features refined engravings, lustrous black resin interpreted here with black onyx and red gold-colored finish which highlights the jewelry pieces through their unique contrast.

TIMEPIECES
With classical design, discriminating complications and sumptuous decorations, these refined timepieces, manufactured in Villeret and Le Locle Switzerland, manifest the values of the Montblanc Meisterstück and the traditional codes of fine Swiss watchmaking in every detail - thus making them their owners' lifelong companions. The pieces are offered in 39 or 41 mm diameter.

The Montblanc Meisterstück Collection is available from April 2014 in Montblanc boutiques worldwide.
