Starting its journey in 1906, the brand quickly became synonymous with a refined writing culture, with Montblanc celebrating handwriting as a personal art form, and giving expression to the individual. By offering hand-crafted instruments, each made by a Montblanc master artisan, the brand gave its customers the ability to wield a pen to express their point of view, tell stories and leave their own indelible mark on the world. It’s safe to say, Montblanc has, literally, written its own history…
