As Montblanc 's most iconic writing instrument, the 149 fountain pen is a feat of craftsmanship and style. The design first appeared in 1924 and the artisanal approach to crafting this fine piece remains an essential part of its success. The medium sized nib is handmade in the company's workshops in Hamburg, Germany, in a process that involves over 100 steps and must be carried out in complete silence. Using platinum and gold, it delivers a smooth flow and an impressive presence. This piece is supplied with a pot of ink and a handsome box for a refined addition to your desk.
