Having been around for over a 100 years, the Mont Blanc company is known around the world for providing exceptional quality pens. Founded in 1906 by a Hamburg book seller, the company stood as a Simplo Filler Pen company. However, it took on the Mont Blanc brand name in 1909. Being the highest mountain in all of western Europe made Mont Blanc and its many bergs the perfect choice for a logo. They appear as a white star on all of the company’s items. Besides fountain pens, Mont Blanc also produces leather goods, desk accessories, jewelry, eyewear, and fragrance. The company’s attention to quality and excellence make Mont Blanc products available only through select authorized shops, boutiques, and jewelers. One of the company’s classic pens is the Meisterstuck, first produced in 1924. Meisterstuck means “masterpiece,” and because of its classic and elegant design, and its amazing durability and quality of manufacturing, the Meisterstuck has become a popular cult object. Other popular pens include the Mont Blanc Le Grande. Sculpted from the company’s black resin, it features a distinctive tri-band accent plus clip which either comes in gold or platinum plate. It uses a piston filling system and has a 14 carat gold nib with a platinum inlay. For ladies, the Mozart pen is ideal. Because of it’s compact size, the Mozart is perfect for handbags. It uses a cartridge filling system and has a handcrafted 14 carat gold nib with a platinum inlay. The Starwalker is a newer model and features a unique floating snow cap in the acrylic dome. It is made of black resin and includes black rubber barrels with chrome fittings especially designed for a comfort grip. The Mont Blanc company has valued characteristics like tradition, fine craftsmanship, and quality of design from the very beginning and still instills these characters into each new pen today. Each pen even comes with its own magnificent gift box and includes a bottle of Mont Blan ink. Today, Mont Blanc operates in more than 70 countries and continues to be a premier supplier of exclusively luxurious and quality products.
