How to Choose the Right Luxury Pen for You

Though the Montblanc legacy was first built with beautifully crafted fountain pens, today our range has expanded with several new writing modes. As explained in this informative guide, each type comes with its own distinct design, features, and practical applications. Read on to discover which luxury pen will best suit your individual needs and writing style.

ballpoint

Positioned at the starting price point of collections, Montblanc ballpoint writing instruments are quick and easy to use. A simple twist or click mechanism reveals the ball-bearing tip from inside the barrel, meaning the pen can be used one-handed. Ballpoints use an ink that dries quickly without smudging, making this type of pen well suited to rapid notetaking and filling out documents. Available for fine, medium, and broad-tip models, ballpoint refills are available in a choice of colours. Refills are included with purchase.

rollerball

A convenient, on-the-go alternative to fountain pens, Montblanc rollerballs offer a similarly fluid writing experience thanks to their water-based ink. The ball-bearing tip allows for smooth, free-flowing penmanship without having to apply much pressure, making this writing instrument a versatile companion for on-the-go professionals who may need to write for long periods of time. Available for fine, medium, and broad-tip models, rollerball refills are available in a choice of colours. They are also interchangeable with fineliner refills. Refills are included with purchase.

Refined materials create a heightened writing experience, while water-based ink lends itself to effortless and expressive penmanship. Use these writing instruments for thoughtful letters, creative expression, and shaping signatures with authority and flair. Fountain pens use either ink cartridges or ink bottles, both available in a choice of colours. These are sold separately. The most important aspect of a Montblanc fountain pen is its nib, each handcrafted from 14K or 18K gold.

fineliner

Crafted with a long tip that produces a thin, crisp line, fineliners are a practical and affordable tool for drawing, sketching and graphic design. The long tip makes this pen work harmoniously with rulers and templates, while its ink dries quickly without smudging. Available for medium and broad-tip models, fineliner refills are available in a choice of colours. They are also interchangeable with rollerball refills. Refills are included with purchase.
