Montblanc Meisterstück AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS
132875 | LeGrand Fountain Pen (M)
The Meisterstück Around the World in 80 Days collection draws its inspiration from Jules Verne's renowned adventure novel. The LeGrand Fountain Pen, adorned in dark blue precious resin, recounts the epic journey of Mr. Fogg and Passepartout. Embarking on the final leg from Yokohama back to London via the United States, the duo traverses the vast American continent by train. Delve into the intricate details – a train elegantly lasered on the cap, a safety chain pattern on the cone, mirroring a pivotal moment when Passepartout detaches the train from the locomotive to save the crew who was attacked by Sioux. The cap's design captures pressure valves and the billowing smoke of the locomotive, while the clip boasts a red lacquered heart card suit, symbolizing the union between Phileas Fogg and Princess Aouda. Additionally, card suits represent Fogg's daring wager to complete the journey in a mere 80 days. The cap top bears the embossed timeline of the journey – 36 days from Yokohama to London, culminating in the grand total of 80 days around the world. Elevating this writing instrument is a hand-crafted 14K gold nib marked with 14/11 and 21/12 – a reminder of Mr. Fogg's departure from Yokohama on November 14 and his ambitious plan to return to the London club by December 21 to win the wager. It is also adorned with a depiction of a hot air balloon, reference to Jules Verne's first adventure novel.

Brand Montblanc
The name Montblanc has always been associated with precision writing tools that reflect the pinnacle of artistic processing and technical sophistication. Founded in 1906 in Hamburg, Germany, where it resides till today, it has quickly gained a reputation as a manufacturer of quality pens. For her logo, the company chose a six-pointed white star symbolizing the permanently snowed peak of Europe's highest mountain, Montblanc. The analogy between the highest apex of the Pole and the tip of the writing instruments is shown on the tip of the fountain pens, where the number 4810 and hence the height of the mountain is located. Montblanc pens were characterized by a simple system and a unique design that caused interest around the world. The Meisterstück model, introduced in 1924, became an instant legend. This collection is one of the best selling ones even today.
The company had a really hard time in the war, but it was finally successful. It gradually expanded its portfolio with high-quality leather accessories made in Italy, jewelry made in Germany, and in 1997 eventually entered into the world of watchmakers. The debut in the Meisterstück collection was a success. The transformation to a serious watchmaker began a decade later, when management decided to purchase the old Swiss Minerva factory. Building on a rich history, the real art of watchmaking began. The first IN-HOUSE caliber tagged as MB R100 immediately launched a new stage in the Montblanc watches. Other machines and IN-HOUSE modules have been gradually added. The world of haute horlogerie has been enriched with beautiful pieces with tourbillon and other masterful complications. Montblanc is no longer just a manufacturer of stationery, it is also a wonderful artistic watches, quality leather and decent accessories that will enhance your personal style.
