Montblanc – Great Characters Homage – Queen Limited Edition 1975

Montblanc - Queen - Great Character - Limited Edition

In the history of rock music, there are few names as timelessly iconic as Queen. Over five decades, the band shaped its own musical universe with extraordinary creativity and genre-spanning compositions from hard rock, glam, pop, funk, and opera. Montblanc honors these icons with the Great Characters Homage to Queen Limited Edition 1975, inspired by the album A Night at the Opera.

Black and white – symbols of contrast and drama – characterize the design of this edition and reflect Queen’s musical identity. The 1975 album is considered one of the most elaborate of the 20th century and a milestone in the band’s history. Freddie Mercury, Brian May, John Deacon, and Roger Taylor wrote music history together. Their stylized portraits adorn the black cap of the writing instrument and refer to legendary album covers such as Queen II and Hot Space.

At the center is Bohemian Rhapsody: an epic work that combines piano ballad, opera, and rock and embodies Mercury’s vision of musical greatness. His penchant for theatrical roles and the iconic black-and-white harlequin pattern inspired the rhombic design of the body. Brian May’s characteristic guitar sound is reflected in the platinum-coated cone, whose design is reminiscent of the controls on his legendary electric guitar. The cone ring bears the album title A Night at the Opera.

The edition is limited to 1,975 fountain pens and rollerballs. The cap head features the crown from Mercury’s performance of “God Save The Queen” – a symbol of the band’s majestic character. The writing instrument is rounded off by a platinum-coated clip in the shape of a microphone stand, a tribute to Mercury’s unmistakable stage presence.

Montblanc – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe – Limited Edition 2025

Im Zentrum des geistigen Aufbruchs des 18. Jahrhunderts stand Johann Wolfgang von Goethe – Universalgelehrter, Literat, Minister und Naturforscher. Getrieben von unstillbarem Wissensdurst, hinterließ er mit Werken wie Faust, seiner Farbenlehre und botanischen Studien ein umfassendes Erbe. Seine kreative Vielseitigkeit und sein Einfluss als Dichter, Staatsmann und Wissenschaftler wirken bis heute fort.

Montblanc würdigt Goethe mit der Writers Edition „Homage to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe“ Limited Edition, die besonders seine literarischen Leistungen ehrt. Schreiben war Goethes Lebenselixier – seine Werke umfassen über 3000 Gedichte. Mit „Die Leiden des jungen Werther“, geschrieben in nur vier Wochen, wurde er europaweit bekannt. Der Roman beeinflusste sogar das Design der Edition: Lack, Gravuren und Farben erinnern an Goethes Leben und Umfeld, etwa das Juno-Zimmer in seinem Weimarer Haus.

Goethes Begriff der „Weltliteratur“ stand für weltweiten kulturellen Austausch – sichtbar etwa in seinem West-Östlichen Divan. Das Design der Kappe als Globus symbolisiert diesen Dialog. Auch seine wissenschaftliche Arbeit würdigt die Edition: Die geschwungene Kappenform erinnert an Apothekergläser, der Blatt-Clip an seine Forschungen zur Pflanzenmorphologie. Korpus und Konus sind inspiriert von den Schreibgeräten, mit denen Goethe seine Gedanken festhielt.

Napoleon Bonaparte – Patron of Art 2021 – Limited Edition 4810

Montblanc - Patron of Art - Napoleon Bonaparte

Patron of Art – Homage to Napoléon Bonaparte – The piston fountain pen is dedicated to one of the historical figures who left a lasting mark on the history of Europe. Napoleon’s glory is expressed in the “architecture parlante” – famous buildings that were erected during his reign and still characterize the Parisian cityscape today.

However, not only architecture flourished during this period, but also other art forms such as painting, sculpture and decorative arts. The design of this creation is inspired by neoclassicism. The pattern of golden bees against a dark blue lacquered background is a reference to Napoleon’s throne at Fontainebleau. The sword-shaped clip, on the other hand, features the former French emperor’s unmistakable “N”. And the engravings in the cap’s head – a laurel leaf, an imperial crown and an eagle – are borrowed from Napoleon’s insignia. The cap is crowned by the Montblanc emblem in precious resin. The tip of the clip is adorned with a red stone reminiscent of Napoleon’s wife Joséphine’s coronation ring. As a tribute to Napoleon Bonaparte, the handmade nib – made of solid 750 gold – features his portrait, in which he wears the typical two-pointed hat.
