Montblanc Heritage Collection 1912 " Snow Cap" Fountain Pen (F)

Montblanc has presented the Heritage Collection 1912 writing instrument, inspired by the company’s early 20th century beginnings, when a group of master-craftsmen developed the original Simplo Safety Filler.

This was a product of the Simplo Filler Pen Company, the venture that set the foundation of what was to one day become Montblanc, the ultimate synonym of “writing culture” a trademark registered in 1910. derived from the word “simple” the simplo Safety Filler pioneered a design that made it virtually leak-proof when closed, making portable fountain pens a reality.

In the pursuit of setting standards of ingenuity, Montblanc master craftsmen have come together to explore new approaches in engineering and design, combining heritage and cutting-edge technology with a twist of creativity. The cap and barrel of the heritage collection 1912 pen is made from deep precious black resin, decorated with polished platinum-plated fittings which hide an advance two-step screw mechanism that controls both the complex retractable nib movement and the piston functions. Produced with skilful geometry, the avant-garde nib is a clever piece of precision engineering. By increasing the nib elasticity and preserving a steady flow of ink through the geometric spreading of the tines, Montblanc artisans have succeeded in the delivering nib that ensures a soft writing experience.

The white cap top crowning this masterpiece references the forerunner of the Montblanc emblem, introduced with the first safety fillers. The world-renowned star that symbolises Montblanc’s commitment to highest quality and finest European craftsmanship, is encased in a dome of transparent resin covered with mother of pearl coloured lacquer. The 585 solid gold rhodium-plated nib has also undergone its own evolution. Crafted and polished by hand, it features a triangular-shaped heart hole, specially designed for the Montblanc Heritage 1912. Avant-garde in character, it delivers true personality to any style of writing, ensuring a soft writing experience.
