Jewels That Happen To Write

Montblanc Mozart

This is a dream and I would love to own one of those masterpieces from the Montblanc Meisterstück Mozart Jewelry Collection. The art of writing at its most exquisite – With their dainty, diminutive proportions, Montblancʼs Hommage à Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Writing Instruments are the most feminine interpretation of the iconic Meisterstück. In September 2012, these objets du désir will become still more desirable with the introduction of the new collection, an outstanding array of exquisitely crafted small jewel-pens.

Mozart Gold

Most precious of all, the Montblanc Meisterstück Mozart Jewelry “Gold” fountain pen is entirely crafted from 18-carat champagne-coloured gold, intricately engraved with a matelassé pattern. In a dazzling demonstration of the jewlerʼs art, the corners of each square are set with a diamond, as are the three emblematic Montblanc rings encircling the cap, while the gold clip is adorned with its own brilliant diamond. As befits such an exceptional Writing Instrument, the Montblanc star emblem which tops the cap of every Meisterstück fountain pen, is rendered by a Montblanc Diamond, the unique, patented gem cut in the shape of the famous sixpoint star.
€ 60.000 Euro / CHF 66.300

Mozart Rose

Pure as a Mozart aria, the Montblanc Meisterstück Mozart Jewelry “Rosé” fountain pen comes in pearly white lacquer finely engraved with a pattern of Montblanc stars. Complementing the delicacy of this design, the nib, forepart and fittings are fashioned from 18-carat red gold, while the clip is embellished with a romantic drop-cut pink sapphire. Crowning the cap, the Montblanc six-point star emblem is crafted from mother-of-pearl.
€ 10.000 Euro / CHF 11.100

Mozart Platin

Completing the collection, the Montblanc Meisterstück Mozart Jewelry “Platinum-Plated” chooses the sleek sophistication of this most modern of precious metals, which is engraved with the matelassé pattern. The fountain pen with its rhodium-plated, 18-carat gold nib, is accompanied by a rollerball and ballpoint. The finishing touch of these three elegant designs is the Montblanc star emblem in shimmering mother-of-pearl.

Introduced alongside the Mozart Jewelry Collection, the new Meisterstück Mozart Montblanc Diamond fountain pen, rollerball and ballpoint combine Montblancʼs signature black precious resin and platinum-plated fittings with a unique detail: an elegantly domed cap enclosing a dazzling Montblanc Diamond.
Fountain Pen € 990 Euro / CHF 1.095, Rollerball € 890 / CHF 985, Ballpoint € 790 Euro / CHF 875

The Montblanc Meisterstück Mozart Jewelry Collection will be available in Montblanc boutiques worldwide from September 2012.
