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.

Montblanc, From Humble Beginnings To The Peak Of Perfection
Apr 9th
Three businessmen shared a dream over a century ago…. to develop and manufacture the finest writing instruments the world has seen, to this date. Establishing this dream not only came to fruition, but over 100 years later their writing instruments have become responsible for preserving the legacy of a writing culture. This venture kept the written word as an original concept within an increasingly advanced writing environment. The slogan ‘Put pen to paper’ asks those writing with their keyboards to revert back to the elegance of “hand writing”.The first writing instrument produced by Montblanc was, “Rouge et Noir”. 
This was followed by a number of branded pens the company mass produced. Soon to follow were limited edition series creating a unique elegance giving the company stature in luxury market. The most expensive Montblanc pen is the “mystery masterpiece”. There are three variations, set either with rubies, sapphires or emeralds, and accented by diamonds. There are three versions of each pen for a total of nine. Each pen has 840 diamonds and more than 20 carats of gemstones set in a Van Cleef & Arpels patented “Mystery Setting” that conceals the stone settings. A groove is made on the culet, the bottom facet of the stone, which is then slid onto the threads of the lattice design so that the stones can be held in place side by side without any visible support. sells for $730,000, making it the most expensive writing instrument ever created.
