Mont Blanc pens are famous the world over. For over a century these writing instruments have been identified by their exquisite shapes, beautiful designs, attention to detail and a quality second to none. Each pen carries the trademark white stylized six-pointed star with rounded edges, symbolizing the snowcap of the Mont Blanc mountain, which has been the emblem of the German Company from it's inception.

Montblanc was founded in 1906 by a Hamburg stationer. Initially known as the Simplo Filler Pen company, they changed the name to Montblanc in 1911. They have been manufacturing quality writing instruments ever since.

Since the very beginning Mont Blanc has been producing many of the world's most remarkable writing instruments. Without doubt, the most popular in the range of Mont Blanc pens are those in the Meisterstück line. Meisterstück is actually German for masterpiece and nobody can argue that the title doesn't suit these legendary Mont Blanc pens. Each pen produced by the company over the years is a masterpiece, without exception.

Mont Blanc have obviously gone on to establish new lines in their range, but so far none has surpassed the iconic status of the Meisterstück. Probably the most distinctive feature of the Meisterstück pen is the central inscribed ring, contained within two plain, thinner equidistant rings and traditionally made of gold. Real attention to detail in the manufacturing process makes Monc Blanc pens the most luxurious of fountain pens and legendary in the world of writing instruments.
