Charlotte’s review of Mont Blanc fountain pens
The first Mont Blanc fountain pen was crafted in 1925 and was named the Meisterstuck, meaning masterpiece. The Mont Blanc Meisterstuck 149 fountain pen (model number 10575) is one of Mont Blanc’s most famous and most popular fountain pens. It features an 18ct hand ground gold nib with a platinum inlay, three gold plated rings and clip as well as a black precious resin barrel. It is safe to say that the Mont Blanc Meisterstuck is most definitely a legend among fountain pens. It’s fair to say that a Meisterstuck will grace the desk of many of our nations business men, and professionals of all sectors.

Mont Blanc was founded by stationer Claus-Johannes Voss, banker Alfred Nahemias and engineer August Eberstein in 1906 and started off as a company called Simplo Filler Pen, who manufactured up-market pens in the Schanzen region of Hamburg, Germany. The first model was released in 1909 and called the Rouge Et Noir. Not long after, in 1910 the company changed its name to Mont Blanc, after the highest mountain in Europe, standing at 4810 feet. To honour this, Mont Blanc pen nibs are all engraved with the number 4810 to accompany the famous Mont Blanc star emblem. Since the new millennium, Mont Blanc has made all the components for Montegrappa and Cartier branded pens.
Mont Blanc pen nibs are crafted with a precise technique compromising of over 100 steps. Each nib is made and polished by hand. There are 8 different nib widths to choose from to suit your writing style, enabling your writing to seem as though it is effortless. Changing the position of the nib on the paper will also assist in allowing the Mont Blanc pen to glide across the paper natural fashion. Having tried some of these pens out for myself, I have found that the difference in writing is unbelievable. It is obvious that vast amounts of effort have gone into the design and manufacture of these pens because of the exceptionally high quality and elegance and ease of writing they give you.

To add to its vast range of excellence, Mont Blanc has produced the Special Edition Greta Garbo pen to commemorate its 100th birthday, which has become one of the most sought after pens in the world. Created specifically for women, this Mont Blanc pen (model number 36026) is an extraordinary design with a black barrel and cream cap, both made of precious resin. With its feminine shape, this special edition Mont Blanc pen possesses a magnificent Akoya pearl and several diamonds emerging from its smooth white gold barrel. A personal favourite of mine, this Mont Blanc pen is an astounding writer and is a definite "must have" for the ladies.

Your Mont Blanc fountain pen can be accompanied by a vast range of accessories, such as engravings, a wide range of refills, from cartridges to ink wells, and a substantial choice of classy desk accessories. The Mont Blanc pen stand, in lead crystal with a pivoted holder (model number M27149) would be the perfect accompaniment to the Meisterstuck 149 fountain pen.
The Montblanc Fountain Pen is the ideal gift for almost any gent, including those who are typically hard to buy for! Rarely, it seems, does a gentleman purchase his own pen, with them rather being presented as gift from friends or family. Other pens in the Mont Blanc writing instruments range include the suave Boheme, the contemporary Starwalker and the chic diamond set Etoile. To see our online catalogue click here.
