Many luxury goods brands also make pens. But Montblanc is different - they've been a pen company all through their history. While they have expanded their range, making beautiful watches, notebooks, leather goods, and travel accessories, writing instruments are still at their core. If you think of a 'classic' luxury fountain pen, it's likely the image in your mind is a Montblanc Meisterstuck.The Meisterstuck is the classic Montblanc pen - a design that began in 1924, and hasn't changed since 1952. It's a beautifully timeless design, so why would it? The Midsize Ballpoint Pen is constructed from black precious resin and trimmed in platinum. Smooth, twist-retract mechanism.
