WHAT IS A FOUNTAIN PEN

With improvements to ink flow, portability and durability, the fountain pen became the most prestigious writing instrument of its time during the 17th century, and remains the preferred choice of pen for many people today. At Montblanc, we began crafting these exquisite writing instruments in 1909 with the 'Rouge et Noir.' Since then, our master artisans have produced some of the most elegant fountain pens delivering unparalleled writing experiences.

  • Recognised as the heart of the writing instrument, and often referred to as the crown, each nib takes 35 skilled steps to craft. Using a combination of gold and iridium, our nibs are not only sleek but also robust.
  • A detail made from precious materials that allows you to attach your fountain pen to a pocket or notebook. Often an unsung hero, the clip must be robust to withstand the wear and tear of daily life.
  • Inlaid with the iconic Montblanc white emblem, the cap is the bodyguard of the nib. When the nib isn’t in use, the cap proves its worth by protecting it from damage and ensuring your pen doesn’t leak or dry out.
  • Home to the ink reservoir and other internal components, the barrel is the main body of the pen. Primarily it ensures no ink leaks, whilst also hosting the filling mechanism.
