A Step Back In Time

Montblanc has been producing luxury writing in-struments for 110 years. In celebration of this milestone the company has revived its very fi rst pen se-ries, The Rouge & Noir. While the Montblanc Heritage Collection, Rouge & Noir, Special Edition evokes the pioneering spirit of the House, with a vintage look and feel, a slimmer and longer silhouette and modern piston technology add a contem-porary twist to the new model. Available in black or coral resin, the pen’s crowns fea-ture the iconic snowcap in off white, and, in a nod to the era of its original debut, an Art Nouveau serpent crafted in galvanized alloy, which winds around and slivers down the cap forming its clip. The snake motif is also engraved on the rhodium-plated Au585 gold nib.Complementing the Montblanc Heritage Collection, Rouge & Noir writing instruments is a collection of fi ne stationary pieces featuring the serpent. The fi rst piece to launch is an elegant lined notebook in black leather embossed with spiraling snakes.
