Mont Blanc: The Ultimate in Writing Instruments
Fashion does not always mean clothes and shoes or even watches and jewelry. Sometimes the objects and instruments one uses reflect his or her sense of fashion. So the pen you use or the bags you carry also tell a lot about you and your style.
When it comes to pens, the name that first strikes the chord is Mont Blanc, considered the ultimate in luxury models of pens. The company calls their pens ‘writing instruments’ and such is the precision that you will also love to call it so. So when you carry one to the boardroom or use one to sign the done deal, it will not only give a boost to your personality but also show off your choice for only the best.
Mont Blanc is not just a pen but a fashion statement that started its journey in the year 1906. Though the company today is known as Mont Blanc, it started off as the Simplo Filler Pen Company and got its present name from the model that it launched in 1910. It was the second model that the company launched after Rouge Et Noir, the first ever pen from the company. Mont Blanc launched its first fountain pen, the Meisterstuck (or Masterpiece in English) in 1925. Since then the name has become and icon and these days you will get watches, spectacle frames, cuff links and perfumes with the name Mont Blanc on them. So, the fashion conscious men can accessorize themselves completely with only Mont Blanc if they choose.
The famous Mont Blanc star is said to be the representation of the snow on Mont Blanc and also edelweiss, the pretty Alpine flower. The number 4810 that often comes in Mont Blanc pens is the height of Mont Blanc, the highest peak in the Alps. Mont Blanc is famous for its limited edition pens which are introduced under various themes. Each of these limited edition pens carry their individual distinguishing numbers depicting their serial number in the series. The luxury pens are often studded with precious stones but you can also get the cheaper versions called Writers Edition.
You can choose from the Meisterstuck, Etoile de Mont Blanc, Boheme Collection, Starwalker or Special Edition including the Patrons of Art and Writers editions. Mont Blanc celebrates the power of women in editions commemorating Elizabeth I. Catherine the Great, Ingrid Bergman, Greta Garbo and Merlene Deitrich.
