High Artistry A Journey on the Orient Express Limited Edition 10 Fountain Pen
High Artistry A Journey on the Orient Express Limited Edition 10 Fountain Pen

The name ‘Orient Express’ conjures magic and myth from a time when sophisticated travelers heeded the siren’s call of exotic lands. It awakens visions of a glamorous train designed for lavish living. It unites a longing for adventure, for distant and mysterious lands, with total immersion in a world of lavish luxury. It all began with Georges Nagelmackers, a visionary who dreamed of traveling comfortably and unimpeded overland from Paris to Constantinople. His dream finally became reality on October 4, 1883. On that day, an elegant crowd thronged the Gare de l’Est in Paris to celebrate with great fanfare the maiden run of one of the most luxurious trains ever created. The myth of the Orient Express had begun. This icon of stylish rail travel is the inspiration for the Montblanc High Artistry A Journey on the Orient Express Limited Edition 10. Its overall design is an homage both to the interior decoration crafted by René Lalique and to Agatha Christie’s novel Murder on the Orient Express.   A passionate globetrotter, Agatha Christie was one of the most famous writers who both traveled on and wrote about the Orient Express, immortalizing the train in her 1934 crime novel Murder on the Orient Express, featuring a cast of inscrutable characters and almost indecipherable clues. The design of this edition makes many references to the details of the fictional case. The cap and barrel are crafted from stained sycamore wood, decorated with handcrafted gold-leaf and crystal flower inlays modeled on the train’s luxurious interiors, including the wood marquetry of René Prou and the molded glass and silver inlays by René Lalique.  A special push opening mechanism is opulently adorned with brilliant-cut diamonds.   The cap top in white chalcedony is inlaid with a Montblanc emblem in solid Au 750 gold outlined with a profusion of brilliant-cut diamonds. The stone can be opened to reveal a “broken” miniature clock with a white enamel dial, hidden inside with the time frozen at 01:15, the time of the murder.  The cap top ring is set with 12 stones, evoking the number of times the victim was stabbed, while the solid Au 750 bi-color gold nib is embossed with the murder weapon, a dagger. The forepart is engraved with the floorplan of cabin 2, where the murder occurred. The number “2” also appears on the solid gold cone, decorated with brilliant-cut diamonds and inlays made from white chalcedony, with a screwing gear mechanism for piston filling. The iconic oval window in the dining car is the inspiration behind the “hidden” clip, recessed into the cap, in solid Au 750 gold embellished with a hand-engraved serpent body and head partly set with brilliant-cut diamonds and two rubies as eyes. The serpent is a reference to the Montblanc Writers Edition 1993 honoring Agatha Christie that featured a clip adorned with a serpent.   With signature gold and/or signature gold-coating, Montblanc evokes the enlightened shade of yellow gold which has become an appreciated tone for the Maison’s writing instruments.
