The High Artistry A Tribute to Craftsmanship Limited Edition 10 pays homage to a rich and esteemed cultural heritage, where beauty, harmony, and artistry are intricately woven into life and art. This edition celebrates the painstaking, masterful craftsmanship and the use of the finest aesthetically pleasing materials – traditions deeply ingrained in its culture – focusing on the iconic Golden Pavilion (Kinkaku-ji) and the rich symbolism of nature and a revered spirit of strength.
The cap and barrel feature a dazzling representation of the Golden Pavilion against its backdrop of natural scenery, meticulously crafted using the traditional Maki-e technique. This ‘art of the golden brush stroke’ involves applying many alternating layers of semi-transparent urushi lacquer and powdered gold, sprinkled with pinpoint precision, then smoothed, sanded, and polished multiple times by a Maki-e master. The solid Au 750 gold cap ring, against a backdrop of black PVD coating, showcases a delicate, hand-engraved 3D dragonfly – a totemic creature symbolising good fortune, strength, courage, and unwavering resolve. The cap top, made of solid Au 750 gold and elegantly finished with a black PVD coating, is crowned with the Montblanc emblem in brownish agate; its naturally striped pattern contributes to the uniqueness of each piece.
The barrel, also adorned with the Maki-e depiction of the Golden Pavilion, features a ring of green jade. This jade ring is framed by two rings of solid Au 750 gold set with brilliant-cut diamonds. The solid Au 750 gold forepart references Kyoto’s Golden Pavilion, with an intricate engraving of a phoenix – a symbol of divine favour, virtue, and harmony – inspired by the golden statue of the mythical bird that crowns its roof.
The solid Au 750 gold, black PVD-coated cone echoes the geometric pattern of hexagonal plates resembling a tortoise shell, an enduring emblem of long life in the culture. This intricate pattern contrasts exquisitely with a ring of diamonds above. The solid Au 750 gold inlay in the cone’s end is enhanced by a hand engraving.
The writing instrument’s solid Au 750 gold clip takes the form of a curved, finely veined bamboo leaf, encapsulating the overarching symbolism of bamboo, which represents vitality, unshakeable power, and flexibility. The handcrafted, solid Au 750 gold nib is the centrepiece of the edition, decorated with a fine, laser-engraved
