Montblanc has unveiled a new Meisterst\u00fcck Ultra Black Special Edition, a contemporary interpretation of the most iconic luxury writing instrument…<\/p>\n


\nAn icon of design, the Montblanc Meisterst\u00fcck takes on a surprising new appearance inspired by the Maison\u2019s heritage, leaving behind its traditional shiny black resin for an elegant matt black finish. Playing on a different shade of black, the new Meisterst\u00fcck Ultra Black Special Edition is characterised by its matt precious resin, a reference to the first Montblanc writing instruments made of ebonite, a matt material that contains natural rubber, sulphur and linseed oil giving the original pens their distinctive texture and scent.<\/p>\n

The special edition writing instrument, only available throughout 2016, pays tribute to Montblanc\u2019s 110-year legacy highlighting the unique feeling the matt finish creates when its surface is touched. While the proportions and shape of the iconic writing instrument remain unchanged, the Meisterst\u00fcck Ultra Black Special Edition is crafted by sandblasting the precious resin to create the matt surface. The shiny finish of the ruthenium-coated fittings and the Au585 gold nib as well as the polished resin forepart, contrast with the texture of the pen\u2019s surface.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe shiny polished resin of the original Meisterst\u00fcck is one of the design features that make it one of the most instantly recognisable writing instruments in the world, so seeing it with a new matt finish certainly is an experience from a visual and a sensorial perspective,\u201d explains J\u00e9r\u00f4me Lambert, CEO Montblanc International. \u201cIt is a salute to the Maison\u2019s early beginnings and its use of a matt ebonite 110 years ago when the first Rouge & Noir collection was introduced. Unexpected and yet inimitable, this new variation on the iconic Meisterst\u00fcck underscores its status as a modern classic.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With balanced proportions and perfect functionality, the iconic Meisterst\u00fcck has become a symbol of timeless elegance through the decades. Traditionally associated with formality, strength, elegance and authority, the colour black takes on a different meaning with the matt shade of the new Meisterst\u00fcck Ultra Black Special Edition. As Michael Pastoureau, author of Black \u2013 The History of a Colour writes, \u201cShiny black is the colour of elegance and sophistication \u2013 matt black is the colour of mystery.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mysterious and surprising, the icon of writing culture in its new finish is available as a Fountain Pen LeGrand, Rollerball LeGrand, Ballpoint Fountain Pen Classique, Rollerball Classique, Ballpoint Pen Classique and the new Midsize. To coincide with the release of the Meisterst\u00fcck Ultra Black Special Edition, Montblanc has created a special Ultra Black ink available in an ink bottle or in cartridges.
\nThe Meisterst\u00fcck Ultra Black, only available throughout 2016, is available from July 2016 in Montblanc boutiques worldwide.<\/p>\n
