The Rouge et Noir 100 is a replica of the first Montblanc safety pen, released for the 100-year brand anniversary in 2006. Edition: only 100 pieces worldwide, sales price 3,900 euros. The pen is made of vulcanised hard rubber with integrated ink tank; the 18-carat gold nib carries the historical engraving 'Simplo Pen Co 4' with breather hole; the cap is bright red, the body black. It is delivered in an orange-red box together with historical packaging, travel inkwell of hard rubber and a booklet with old advertising. Due to the small quantity rapid sell-out is to be expected.

So ein tolles Schreibgerät!!!
Die ganze Präsentation ist eine Wonne.
Er wird in einem orang-roten Karton(wenn man das so sagen darf)geliefert, hierdrin sind dann das Schreibgerät, die historische Verpackung und ein Tintenfass(sieht eher aus wie eine Ölkanne). Zu dem liegt ein Booklet bei, welches u.a. alte Reklame für dieses Schreibgerät entält.
Leider gibt es hiervon nur 100 Stück weltweit - also Gas geben - ich könnte mir vorstellen, das diese schnell vergriffen sein werden! - lachender
ich bin auch vom "Rouge et Noir 100" begeistert, inkl. Reisetintenfass aus Hartgummi, sowie eine historisch inspirierte Gebrauchsanweisung in einem Papierschuber.
Übrigens der Sicherheitshalter besteht aus vulkanisiertem Hartgummi und integriertem Tintentank wie früher!?, sogar die 18K Feder ziert eine hisorische Gravur "Simplo Pen Co 4", mit Herzform bzw. Herzloch.
Limitert auf 100 Stück, VK: 3.900 Euro.

Montblanc "Rouge et Noir"-
on the occasion of its centenary, Montblanc is reviving the
fountain-pen with which everything began!
In its anniversary year 2006, the Montblanc brand is celebrating with a glittering display of exceptional Editions for a spectacular review of 100 years of traditional craftsmanship and consummate writing culture. As an allusion to the "roots of the brand", Montblanc is now reviving its first safety fountain-pen with integrated ink-tank. The cap is brilliant red, the distinctive body black and the name unforgettable: "Rouge et Noir", after Stendhal. Together with a travelling ink-well, historically inspired instructions, slipcover and casket, an outstanding and precious Edition for collectors of writing instruments and admirers of special things. The Edition is limited to 100 pieces.
Rouge et Noir - the foundation stone of a global brand
Its name is legendary, its development wrote cultural history: Rouge et Noir. It is seen as the precursor of all Montblanc fountain-pens and laid the foundation for a company history now reaching back 100 years.
At the turn of the 19th century, flexibility and mobility were the driving forces behind the Industrial Revolution. The invention of the automobile, the development of railway networks, steamers travelling around the world. A time characterised by the spirit of innovation and striving for individual mobility. In the year 1906, the vision of a perfect fountain-pen was born. Technically revolutionary: its integrated ink-tank, which guaranteed ease of use even on journeys - without having to put the nib repeatedly into an ink-well. It was the first really perfected safety fountain-pen in the world, reliable and leak-proof, and could be used everywhere. Its name: Rouge et Noir.
