Mont Blanc Writing Instruments

The quientessential penmaker, often seen gracing the hands of business professionals the world over.

Founded by the stationer Claus-Johannes Voss, the banker Alfred Nehemias and the engineer August Eberstein in 1908, the company began as the Simplo Filler Pen company producing up-market pens in the Schanzen district of Hamburg.

Their first model was the Rouge Et Noir in 1909 followed in 1910 by the pen that was later to give the company its new name, Montblanc. The first pen, a fountain pen known as the Meister stuck (English: "Masterpiece," the name used for export) was produced in 1924.

Easily identifiable by the logo - a white stylised six-pointed star with rounded edges, inspired by the snowcapped peak of France’s biggest mountain Mont Blanc. The number '4810', the mountain's height in metres, is also a commonly recurring theme in Mont Blanc's branding and products.
