The first Montblanc writing instrument, introduced in 1909, eliminated the risk of ink stains. As a result, it was given the sobriquet "Rouge et Noir", reffering to the safest way of playing roulette: betting on both red and black at the same time. A year later, inspired by the highest peak in European Alps and symbolising the founders' vision of excellence and pursuit of innovation, Montblanc was chosen for the company's name. The six-point white star, representing the six snow-covered glaciers of the majestic mountain, became the company's emblem ad has features on every Montblanc writing instrument ever since.

From the beginning stages of assembling individual parts to presenting a truly alive and resplendent piece, our products are lifestyle companions that will accompany yours and future generations to come.The process of completing our products is one of absolute care and passion. Be
it writing instruments, leather, watches, accessories or our youngest category
of new technologies, our master craftsmen work diligently to pour their hearts
and soul into every step of the creation.
The international mentality of our 3 pioneering founders of the maison
contributes to be strong legacy of the brand to this day. Our writing
instruments are completed in Hamburg, our leather goods in Florence and our
timepieces in Switzerland.
At the heart of our Manufacture in Hamburg lies the Artisan Atelier, where, in the hands of our master goldsmiths and stone setters, a writing instrument becomes a work of art. Here, specially trained artisans combine traditional craftsmanship and modern production techniques to produce the soul of every Montblanc fountain pen: the nib.
Countless meticulous steps are involved in the process, using rare materials from platinum and solid gold to unique wood and precious stones to realise limited editions such as Patron of Art, Writers Edition, Great Charac¬ters, or the High Artistry collection.
