Description

The name ‘Orient Express’ conjures magic and myth from a time when sophisticated travellers heeded the siren’s call of exotic lands. This icon of stylish rail travel is the inspiration for the Montblanc High Artistry A Journey on the Orient Express Limited Edition 1883. This limited coffret takes its inspiration from the comfort and splendour of the midnight-blue train that has become an icon of travel culture. Every detail of the furnishings is a testimony of the Art Deco style and only the most renowned designers and craftsmen were recruited to decorate the compartments. The writing instrumens is held in blue as an homage to the colour of the train and the engraved pattern on the cap is inspired by delicate marquetry designs of René Prou. The small bouquet of flowers engraved on the solid Au 750 gold nib is based on another design taken from Prou´s various marquetry works. The Orient Express always brought its passengers to their destination in style and comfort. Honouring that tradition, this collection ensures a luxurious writing experience with a coffret set including a bottle of blue ink to complement the blue resin of the fountain pen as well as an ivory-coloured notebook boasting the same decorative element as the writing instrument´s cap.

Model 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.
