Unique Design Montblanc Meisterstuck LeGrand Fountain Pen Platinum Trim

Many luxury goods brands also make pens. But Montblanc is different – they’ve been a pen company all through their history. While they have expanded their range, making beautiful watches, notebooks, leather goods, and travel accessories, writing instruments are still at their core. They are one of the many pen companies who has moved the piston filling system forward over the years, and they created what we now think of as ‘standard’ ink cartridges. If you think of a ‘classic’ luxury fountain pen, it’s likely the image in your mind is a Montblanc Meisterstuck.

The Meisterstuck is the classic Montblanc pen – a design that began in 1924, and hasn’t changed since 1952. It’s a beautifully timeless design, so why would it?

Piston-filled fountain pen, using bottled ink. Montblanc were one of the leading companies in the development of piston mechanisms for filling fountain pens, making them part of the reason why it’s such a reliable and practical way to fill pens to this day. Easy filling with a large ink capacity makes for a practical pen to use every day, and using bottled ink is cost-effective as well as being good for the environment.
