The iconic Montblanc Meisterstück, first manufactured in 1924, is emblematic of Montblanc’s quest for perfection.
Timeless, the Meisterstück has long become a symbol of Montblanc’s values: finest craftsmanship, traditional manufacturing techniques, precious materials, refined aesthetics and best functionality. The Meisterstück ranks among the world’s most famous luxury icons. Today, it also continues to assert Montblanc’s savoir-faire and vision for the future of luxury writing instruments.
Manufactured in Hamburg, Germany, since 1924, the Meisterstück truly embodies Montblanc’s quest for perfection. Over the years, it became the meaningful companion of generations of scholars and scientists, poets and artists, statesmen and industry leaders alike. Its sophisticated character further turned it into a unique writing instrument: more, a reference.
Companion for generations
True to the “Meisterstück spirit”, Montblanc unveils its Meisterstück Collection: a unique selection of sensual leather goods, meticulously crafted timepieces, refined jewellery and of course a new Meisterstück writing instrument collection that further ‘writes’ the story of such a timeless icon. The Collection celebrates 90 years of the spirit of Meisterstück, introducing icons for the time to come.
Writing Instruments
The Meisterstück Collection features a series modes: from the quintessential 149 Fountain Pen, to Classique and LeGrand Fountain pens, to a Rollerball and Ballpoint. Each writing instrument is artfully crafted in precious black resin, is adorned with red gold-plated fittings and is offered in a distinct gift box wrapped with a, 1924 replica sleeve. Those that choose the fountain pen mode will especially enjoy the elegantly engraved (Au750/Au585) solid red gold nibs.
Crafted in Hamburg, every nib is hand-crafted from solid red gold (Au750/Au585) by Montblanc’s master craftsmen. It takes 35 skilled steps before an additional 70 steps are required to assemble and further test the unmistakable Meisterstück.
Leather Goods – Meisterstück Soft Grain
Matching the timeless beauty of the Montblanc Meisterstück Writing Instruments, a new line of leather goods further extends the prestigious collection: Meisterstück Soft Grain.
Available in black and beige, the line features soft grain leather with a sensual natural touch through a series of briefcases, messenger and tote bags; plus many more accessories. Contemporary in its design, the Meisterstück Soft Grain line also offers additional technical functions such as cases for smartphones and tablets for Apple and Samsung that marry extra-slim design and fine finishing with protective mouldings. True to the brand’s attention to details, metallic buckles come in shiny palladium while snow-cap emblems are casted in precious resin.
Elegantly lined with a graphic, historical Jacquard pattern based on Montblanc’s 1924 logo for this occasion, the leather goods launch as collectibles hand-crafted in Montblanc’s Pelletteria in Florence.
The Montblanc Meisterstück Heritage Timepieces
The Montblanc Meisterstück Heritage Collection is inspired by the spirit of the Meisterstück and its ninety-year heritage. With classical design, discriminating complications and sumptuous decorations, these refined timepieces, manufactured in Villeret and Le Locle Switzerland, manifest the values of the Montblanc Meisterstück and the traditional codes of fine Swiss watchmaking in every detail – thus making them their owners’ lifelong companions.
Men’s Jewelry
Designed in Paris to celebrate the Meisterstück, a collection of men’s jewelry and accessories underline Montblanc’s passion for timeless design: refined cufflinks, bracelets, key holders come as new source of elegance. Inspired by the Meisterstück’s iconic details, the collection features refined engravings, lustrous black resin interpreted here with black onyx and red gold-colored finish, which highlights the jewelry pieces through their unique contrast.
Through those new lines, Montblanc brings across the Spirit of Meisterstück introducing a collection crafted for new heights.
The Montblanc Meisterstück Collection will be available from April 2014 in Montblanc boutiques worldwide and for further information visit www.montblanc.com
