Following up the Heritage Collection 1912 Limited Edition from last year, Montblanc is releasing a limited production version made from their “precious” resin at a greatly reduced price.

 

The Heritage Collection 1912 pays tribute to the roots of Montblanc and is capturing the pioneering spirit of the early 20th century, which was characterized by fundamental changes in the lifestyle and many inventions.

 

Montblanc Simplo Safety Filler

 

For the Heritage Collection 1912 fountain pen Montblanc takes its inspiration from the original technological impact of the Simplo Safety Filler – one of the first fountain pens launched approximately 100 years ago. This Fountain Pen both innovates with its new technology and celebrates the pioneering spirit of the early 20th century. A new two-step screw mechanism combines the retractable nib movement as well as the piston filling mechanism.

 

The Heritage Collection 1912 fountain pen is made from deep precious black resin with platinum plated fittings. The top of the cap features the Montblanc emblem in mother-of-pearl lacquer under a dome of transparent resin. It also features a new 14 kt solid gold nib, rhodium plated, with a smooth writing style, triangular heart-hole and contemporary shape.

 

Montblanc celebrates the spirit of the company’s early 20th century beginnings with the new Montblanc Heritage Collection 1912 – combining heritage and cutting-edge technology with a twist of creativity.

 

The pioneering spirit of the early 20th century

 

The Montblanc Heritage Collection 1912 is capturing the pioneering spirit of the early 20th century, which was characterized by fundamental changes in the lifestyle and many inventions. With this collection Montblanc pays tribute to a time when the company revolutionized the manufacturing of fine writing instruments.

 

In the pursuit of setting higher standards of ingenuity, Montblanc master craftsmen explored new approaches in engineering and design and manufactured a two-stop mechanism that controls both the complex retractable nib movement and the piston filling functions with just one simple pull of the cone

 

Inspired by legacy – the Montblanc Heritage 1912 Fountain Pen

 

The Montblanc Heritage Collection 1912 takes its inspiration from the original the Simplo Safety Filler – one of the first fountain pens that made portable writing instruments a practical reality. Derived from the word “simple”, the Simplo Safety Filler pioneered a design that made it virtually leak-proof when closed.

 

To capture the free spirit of this innovation, Montblanc’s master craftsmen followed the conventions of traditional craftsmanship on the one hand, while adding a modern technological thinking to the process. The result is an original legacy collection of writing instruments that strikes a perfect balance between shape, function and design.

 

Redefining shape, function and design

 

The cap and the barrel are designed in deep precious black resin, decorated with polished platinum-plated fittings. The white cap top crowning this masterpiece references the forerunner of the Montblanc emblem, introduced with the first safety fillers. The world famous Montblanc emblem is encased in a dome of transparent resin covered with mother-of-pearl coloured lacquer.

 

The 585 solid gold and rhodium-plated nib features a triangle shaped heart hole, specially designed for the Montblanc Heritage Collection 1912. By increasing the nibʼs elasticity and preserving a steady flow of ink through the geometric spreading of the tines, Montblancʼs artisans have succeeded in delivering a nib that ensures a soft writing experience.
