Originally founded in Hamburg, Germany, in 1906 as the Simplo Fillerpen Co., Montblanc took Europes’s highest mountain as its symbol. The famous “white star” that symbolizes the Montblanc brand worldwide is a representation of the snow-covered peak of Mont Blanc, which soars 4,810 metres into the sky.

Montblanc has consistently maintained the goal of creating writing instruments of the highest quality. That’s why the “white star” and “4810” continue to be found exclusively on genuine Montblanc Meisterstück and Solitaire fountain pens. Writing instruments bearing the Montblanc name and symbols are prized as prestige objects the world over.

Montblanc pens are purchased for personal use or gift giving because they epitomize individual style. A Montblanc writing instrument is seen by its owner as more than just a pen – it’s a distinguished accessory and an expression of personality.
