Montblanc Heritage Collection - Egyptomania. youtu.be/C_mGLPvLaFc
I’m pleased to provide details about Montblanc’s breathtaking new collection. It is part of our Heritage line and pays tribute to mysterious and rich Egyptian history. EGYPTOMANIA. We are starting to receive the special edition pieces that will be more readily available in store but wanted to share with you some pictures of the High Artistry pieces for your consideration and enjoyment.
Please see attached the 2 in a LE1 each, LE5, LE10 & LE72.
In the Special Edition, the hexagonal shape has ‘Montblanc’ engraved with ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. The scarab on the clip is known in Egyptian mythology to promise a better afterlife. The Doue has the scripts from the “Book of Dead” engraved on cap and barrel. The ballpoint pens are very unusual, because they have a press/click mechanism instead of our traditional twist.
It is offered in Resin with bronze and Doue variations. The Fountain pen nib is part of the Heritage Collection and is therefore more soft/flexible than the Meisterstück.
Turning writing instruments into works of art, the new Montblanc Heritage Egyptomania - A Revival of Ancient Egyptian Treasures brings to life the glory of Ancient Egypt. Reminiscent of the richly decorated exterior of King Tutankhamun’s sarcophagus, the yellow gold exterior is inspired by the precious objects found in his tomb. The solid gold heritage nib features a crook and flail design - a symbol for the divine authority of the kings and queens of Egypt – and is set with a diamond. The turquoise scarab beetle opening mechanism, decorated with carnelian, opens to reveal the writing instrument. It is only fitting that one of the greatest civilizations to ever exist is honoured with craftsmanship at its best.
It has been almost a century since the discovery of King Tutankhamun’s tomb, but the spell of fascination that it cast over the world still lingers today.
Nothing illustrates that better than Montblanc’s new collection of writing instruments. Dubbed the “Montblanc High Artistry Heritage Egyptomania”, the range features five limited-edition fountain pens, each meticulously crafted to bring the magnificence and mystique of Ancient Egypt right to your fingertips.
We mean that literally: each pen is housed within a sarcophagus-shaped case, adorned with symbols borrowed from Egyptian artefacts and, in some cases, Pharaoh Tutankhamun’s legendary sarcophagus itself.
One such example is the scarab beetle, the ancient Egyptian symbol for immortality and rebirth. The insect appeared on a breastplate found in the Pharaoh’s tomb, which inspired Montblanc’s Limited Edition 5 pen. Like the breastplate, the pen’s case is made of gold and set with delicate inlays of lapis lazuli and turquoise. The two precious gemstones, along with red carnelian, are also used to craft the scarab beetle that features on the detachable caps of all five pens.
Besides beetles, you’ll also find the Uraeus — the Egyptian cobra symbol that served as a mark for royalty — perfectly sculpted out of white or yellow gold and lined with sapphire baguettes on the Limited Edition 1 Treasure, Limited Edition 1 Pharaoh and Limited Edition 5 designs.
Their cap tops are crowned, respectively, with an 8.72 ct royal blue Madagascan sapphire, a 5.13 ct brilliant cut diamond and a 1.85 ct brilliant cut diamond — all set in a unique, falcon-inspired setting. Others, like the Limited Edition 10 and Limited Edition 72, even feature the striking colours and patterns of Tutankhamun’s death mask.
But where Montblanc truly lays bare its artistry and attention to detail is in the use of intricate hieroglyphics throughout the collection. These have been pulled from Egyptian texts dating back to 1300 BC, and painstakingly engraved by hand along the pens’ caps and barrels. The German brand also got an Egyptology expert to translate its name into the ancient characters, the results of which appear across the collection.
Much like the treasures that were dug up from the Egyptian tombs all those years ago, there is much to mine and marvel at from Montblanc’s new designs. But not all of us will have the chance: there is only one of the Limited Edition 1 Treasure pen available in the whole world, while the rest of the designs are priced between €200,000 (S$321,376) and €600,000 (S$964,140).
The return of the legend:
The new Montblanc Heritage Egyptomania collection reawakens the spirit of exploration
Eternal Egypt, Eternally Fascinating:
From Roman emperors to modern-day travellers, ancient Egypt has captivated the imagination for millennia. Seduced by the allure and mystery of the land of the pharaohs, early 20th century explorers set out on expeditions to uncover secret treasures. The discovery of King Tutankhamun’s tomb and the mysteries inside it created one of the biggest cultural events of the 20th century. A new era of Egyptomania has dawned influencing every part of the arts and intellectual life - from the Art Deco movement through films and literature to unique writing instruments.
“Elegant combination of vintage flair and the spirit of exploration.”
Like one of the many breath-taking discoveries unearthed by the great archaeologists on expeditions down the Nile, the Montblanc Heritage Egyptomania collection brings back one of its own iconic treasures from the past. The so-called Montblanc ‘Egyptian Fountain Pen’ from the 1920s, featuring an elegant octagonal shape and Egyptian style engravings, is reimagined for today’s writing culture enthusiasts, combining vintage flair and the spirit of exploration.
Write Like an Egyptian:
Created in partnership with an expert Egyptologist, the octagonal precious resin cap of the writing instrument is decorated with authentic hieroglyphs that translate as “white stone mountain”, denoting Montblanc. The barrel of the Doué is inscribed with hieroglyphs from the ancient “Book of the Dead” – one of the most important Egyptology discoveries that contains magic spells intended to assist while journeying through the underworld to access the afterlife. The 14K gold nib on the fountain pen features an embossed scarab – a sacred ancient Egyptian beetle – and a triangular heart-hole that offers a softer writing style, reminiscent of historical Montblanc fountain pens.
The Montblanc Heritage Egyptomania Edition is made up of two editions, each available as a fountain pen, ballpoint pen and rollerball pen. Start your own writing adventure, shop the collection at Montblanc boutiques worldwide or online.
