Montblanc – Jimi Hendrix

Montblanc pays tribute to Jimi Hendrix, one of the most famous musicians of the 20th century and one of the most influential guitarists in the history of pop music. The eggshell white of the precious resin cap and the engraved pattern are inspired by one of the guitar straps worn by Jimi Hendrix. The black body, on the other hand, is adorned with an elegant pattern and is reminiscent of a wah-wah pedal. The platinum-plated clip is angled and shaped like the tremolo of an electric guitar. Another outstanding detail is the platinum-plated cap ring, inspired by a 1960s guitar cable and adorned with the engraved date of a famous Jimi Hendrix concert. The handmade nib in rhodium-plated 585 solid gold features a portrait of Jimi Hendrix.

To match the fountain pen, Montblanc offers a biro a la Jimi Hendrix. Here, too, you will find the beautiful details in the cap, including the engraved pattern in the style of his guitar straps, which Jimi Hendrix wore. The Montblanc emblem in the cap top is made of precious resin.

Montblanc – Gebrüder Grimm – Writers Edition 2022

Der platinierte Clip, der an eine knorrige Holzstück erinnert, zeigt ganz überraschend das Profil der Gebrüder Grimm, wenn man ihn dreht. Als Hommage an den Zauber des Geschichtenerzählens zeigt die handgefertigte Feder aus rhodiniertem 750er Massivgold eine Darstellung von Feuer, um das sich die Menschen früher oft versammelten, um ihre Märchen zu erzählen und weiterzugeben. - Füllfederhalter

“Once upon a time, a long, long time ago …” The Montblanc Writers Edition Homage to Brothers Grimm is dedicated to the Brothers Grimm and pays tribute to their writings of German and European fairy tales, the most famous of which include “Snow White”, “Cinderella” and “Sleeping Beauty”.

The writing instrument is shaped like a walking stick and the black colour is reminiscent of the darkness of the forests, which are among the most important settings of Grimm’s fairy tales. In addition, the wavy pattern on the cap and barrel is inspired by Rapunzel’s hair and at the same time represents a nod to the roots, as the Grimm brothers considered their work a “return to the roots”. The cap is crowned by the Montblanc emblem made of precious resin.

The platinum-plated clip, reminiscent of a gnarled piece of wood, quite surprisingly shows the profile of the Brothers Grimm when you turn it. As a tribute to the magic of storytelling, the handcrafted 750 solid rhodium-plated gold nib features a depiction of fire, around which people often gathered in the past to tell and pass on their fairy tales.

Lamy neo.lab / ncode – analoge digital-writing

The new LAMY safari all black ncode bridges the gap between the analogue notebook and the unlimited world of digital writing. In cooperation with Lamy, Korean tech company Neo LAB Convergence launches an optoelectronic writing system.

When we need to quickly capture a few thoughts, we intuitively find it easiest to do so by hand using a pen – handwritten notes, annotations and sketches are the best way to capture our ideas, process what we’ve experienced and so understand the world. The LAMY safari all black ncode now adds to this the fantastic potential of digital processing, combining both worlds in a single writing instrument: the advantages of analogue writing on paper with all the possibilities of digital storage and processing.

With the LAMY safari all black ncode, the matching LAMY digital paper notebook and the numerous functions of the Neo Studio App, it’s easy to write on paper, to simultaneously digitise your handwritten material and then to edit it as you choose. The LAMY digital paper comes with Neo LAB’s proprietary ncode technology. Every stroke made on the page is saved – creating a complete digital copy of the notebook with all the options you could need for working on that text in future.

Never lose or forget anything again

Neo Studio uses cloud synchronisation: written content is automatically synchronised across all devices on which the app is installed. So at any time and on different devices you can browse entries made in the last few days and weeks, or even years.

Easy to find everything – easy to change anything

Neo Studio digitises handwritten notes, making it easy to search your material – including across different LAMY digital paper notebooks using individual coding, of course. Take notes at speed – change, improve and revise at your leisure later: alter font colours, add highlights or create new layouts. There are no limits to creative design and professional results. Thanks to Myscript, a handwriting recognition program, Neo Studio offers the option to convert handwriting into printed text in 32 languages. Each page, or just excerpts, can be saved and shared directly via weblink in a variety of formats: jpg, PDF, MP4 or gif.
