Product News
 


  2004  
 
Just as in 2003, there are a number of new products this year.
For clarity, we limit ourselves here to Writing Instruments and watches.

New Writing Instruments:

Montblanc Meisterstück Stainless Steel II

In 2000, Montblanc brought the first Stainless Steel model to the market, which was immediately named Fountain Pen of the Year by readers of Scriptum. Now follows another variant of the Stainless Steel. On this model, a laser was used on the cap to partially "roughen" the steel, creating a kind of checkerboard pattern.


Scenium
Since February 2004, the Scenium is now also being sold worldwide. Montblanc can thus reach an entirely new customer group, as the Scenium is suitable particularly for fountain pen beginners. First surveys among Montblanc dealers in Germany (here the Scenium has been sold since December at selected dealers) through fountainpen.de show that the Scenium is a real success.

Herbert von Karajan - Limited Edition 95
Von der Special Edition "Herbert von Karajan" there is now also a Limited Edition. The Fountain Pen is made entirely of white gold. The barrel is black and bears the signature of Karajan. The clip is adorned with diamonds. The Fountain Pen is sold exclusively in Montblanc Boutiques and is limited to 95 pieces. (2004)

Patron of the Arts Edition 2004 - J.P.Morgan
With this Writing Instrument too, Montblanc sets new standards ? the Fountain Pen is revolutionarily modern compared to most other Writing Instruments from the Patron of the Arts Edition. The cap is decorated with a mesh of carbon- and silver threads, similar to the Writing Instruments from the Meisterstück Carbon Steel Edition. The barrel consists of 925 Sterling silver with a fine thread guilloche. The Fountain Pen recalls the form of the Karajan Fountain Pen.
