The edition, after research at Montblanc, comes indeed from the Artisan department and was at short notice in September 2004 made on demand of marketing for a concert of the Philharmonic of the Nations in China. It was rated factory-side as very inconspicuous and qualitatively little convincing ('the ugliest thing we ever produced'). The pieces are genuine, but the porcelain cap with the photorealistic motifs arose under time pressure. The whole Artisan line was not officially advertised, which is why even with renowned collectors little knowledge circulates about it.
