Montblanc Commemorates John Lennon’s 70th Birthday
Sep 13th
Montblanc has released the John Lennon Collection Writing Instruments. The collection consists of three editions, The Special Edition, Commemoration Edition 1940 and the Limited Edition 70. A portion of the sales from the Lennon collaboration will be distributed to selected cultural projects which support music education and the “John Lennon Education Tour Bus”, a US non-profit organization providing young people with the means to learn how to compose, play, performs, record and produce songs and music videos. Fine
New York Jewelers will be showcasing the collection late fall.
‘The Special Edition’, encompasses the models of a fountain pen, ballpoint pen, and roller ball.
Montblanc has not released the number of pieces in this edition. The design is reminiscent of early 60”s music, through a guitar neck, with tuning pegs detailed on the pens body. The gentle grooves chiseled into the black precious resin of the barrel inducing a vinyl texture. There are finely etched strings on the neck, while the platinum-plated plaque is engraved with Lennon’s famous self-portrait.
‘John Lennon Commemoration Edition 1940’, is limited to only 1940 pieces; the year of Lennon’s birth, is available as either a fountain pen or a roller ball and features a 925 sterling guilloche underlay with translucent white lacquer. The pen’s cone is engraved with the release date of “Imagine”: 02.10.1971. The rhodium-plated 18k gold nib bears the peace symbol.
‘John Lennon Limited Edition 70’, is limited to only 70 pieces; the upcoming age John Lennon would have been on October 9, 2010. The word “Imagine”, artistically rendered in a skeleton of 750 white gold, encircles the John Lennon Limited Edition 70. The blue tone of the transparent precious resin on the cap and barrel pays homage Lennon’s trademark accessory, his blue round glasses, a color nuance also seen in the set of blue sapphires on the “guitar neck” clip, alongside three diamonds that represent the chords of the song “Imagine”. The cone is a tribute to his instrument of choice for the song: the keys of a piano.

There are three versions of the John Lennon Pen Collection – black Precious Resin, a more limited Silver overlay pen and an extremely limited Skeleton pen.

The collaboration was announced at the annual Academy Awards ‘Montblanc Signature Of Good’ event in March 2010. This generational international organization has been a huge philanthropic force in world through their distinguished writing instruments, fine timepieces and leather accessories. New York jewelers and New York watch stores have supported Montblanc initiatives whole-heartedly.
This year Monblanc began its charitable ‘Signature Of Good’ endeavor themed ‘The Montblanc Wish Tree’. Asking celebrities to write there charitable wishes with a Meisterstück Fountain Pen and place them on the tree. The ‘Wish Tree’ has been traveling the world to other fabulous events to be adorned with celebrity charitable wishes. The tree will be exhibited during the unveiling of the Montblanc – John Lennon Pen reveal in Manhattan on Sunday September 12, 2010. The event will take place in a location close to Central Park, a few miles from Lennon’s home ‘The Dakota”. Susan Sarandon is set to present the pen collection, which will be followed by a musical performance and the US film premiere of Sam Taylor-Wood’s, ‘Nowhere Boy’, a film about John Lennon’s early years, distributed by The Weinstein Company. A portion of the proceeds from each sale of these limited edition pens will go to a program supporting the musical education of children around the world.
