Writers Edition Homage to Homer Limited Edition

This 2018 Writers Edition is dedicated to the great literary genius of the Greek poet Homer.The pen takes its main inspiration from the story of the Trojan horse. The overall shape is inspired by the horse, with the back and clip reflecting the spear.The matte black precious resin of the barrel and cap,combined with AU 750 champagne-tone gold coated fittings, echoes the Greek black figure pottery which was often decorated with scenes from Homeric poetry.The legendary spear of Achilles is the inspiration for the shape of the AU 750 gold coated clip while the helmet adorns the handcrafted AU 750 solid gold nib (in the size of the iconic Meisterstuck 149)as a fine engraving.
The strict form of the hexameter used by Homer gives the verse its firm structure. The finely engraved Greek meander frieze on the gold coated fittings of the pen is inspired by the six-foot structure of the hexameter.
The edition, whose black matte surface plays with the idea of the great poet's blindness, is crowned by the Montblanc emblem in resin.
The collection made in a limited number is available as fountain pen with piston filling system, twist ballpoint and for the first time a very special capless rollerball.
We must acknowledge that the amazing craftsftmen of the Hamburg maison have created another wonderful collectable piece of art once more…. chapeau.
