At the beginning of the twentieth century, the world was a changing place. The Industrial Revolution of the previous century had altered the world forever, and manufacturing on a large scale was becoming commonplace. This background of innovation led to many new developments, including the design of the fountain pen. Today, the Maison continues to push boundaries and evolve the expression of fine craftsmanship across each of its product categories: the pinnacle of luxury writing instruments, timepieces, leather goods, accessories, fragrances and eyewear.

What is Montblanc known for?

When thinking about leading creators of luxury writing instruments, the Montblanc brand immediately springs to mind. At The Pen Shop, we are proud to promote our status as a Montblanc authorised retailer and are stockists of a wide selection of Montblanc writing instruments and refills, notebooks and other accessories.

As a global leader in luxury accessories, Montblanc has been operating for nearly a century, having diversified into other areas of the luxury goods market over those years. The unique white star logo on the tip of each piece and accessory ensures the Montblanc name is strongly identifiable.

When was Montblanc founded, and what is the Montblanc history?

The story of Montblanc origin began in 1906 when a designer from Berlin named August Eberstein, in partnership with a Hamburg banker, Alfred Nehemias, developed a range of simple-to-use fountain pens. The simplicissimus pen is a pen design which includes a built-in ink well. It wasn’t long before their company was taken over by the three men who together would set Montblanc on its journey to becoming a worldwide brand: Wilhelm Dziambor, Christian Lausen and Claus Johannes Voss.
