A Design Evoking the Chic Sensibility of Imperial Vienna

The Montblanc Donation Pen "Johann Strauss" comprises a collection of three writing instruments: a fountain pen, a rollerball, and a ballpoint pen. The cap and barrel, crafted from black precious resin, are paired with champagne gold-finished fittings. The cap ring is delicately engraved with Johann Strauss II's signature and the Montblanc brand name. The distinctive clip design is inspired by a violin bow.

The nib is engraved with "Die Fledermaus"

The champagne-toned Au585 gold nib of the fountain pen features a charming bat engraving, a nod to Strauss's famous operetta, "Die Fledermaus." The cognac-colored ink window evokes the body of a violin, allowing one to appreciate a chic design that reflects the sophisticated taste of Imperial Viennese society in its heyday, while commemorating the achievements of the extraordinary Waltz King.

A portion of the proceeds from the Donation Pen is used to support the development of young musicians.
