Leather Goods and Men's Jewelry Also Featured
"Montblanc" derives its name from Mont Blanc, Europe's highest peak. The brand's signature "White Star" emblem, symbolizing excellence, uniqueness, and enduring quality, is inspired by the awe-inspiring summit and its six glaciers, which have captivated people for ages.
Now, a new collection named "Tribute to the Mont Blanc" emerges, celebrating this magnificent mountain. In stark contrast to Montblanc's traditional black offerings, this collection radiates a brilliant snow-white hue, accented with stones and materials that evoke the natural beauty of Mont Blanc.
The collection includes iconic pieces like the Meisterstück, alongside leather accessories. Men's jewelry is also slated for release in October 2011.
The Meisterstück maintains its signature ergonomic design. The barrel is rendered in a dazzling pure white, while the "White Star" on the cap top glimmers with snow crystals, representing glaciers and eternal snow. The platinum-plated nib collar is intricately engraved with the striking panorama of the Mont Blanc massif and the names of its peaks, showcasing exquisite craftsmanship.
