I have a bespoke signature nib on order and the nib specifications were designed in a video conference with Germany at my local boutique in San Francisco.

 

This is probably an interim measure until the new system mentioned in an earlier post comes online as I believe it would be too overwhelming for one person to conduct these video conferences.

 

If you are in the USA the pen will need to make its way from the boutique to Germany through MJR. Hopefully the issues I have encountered during this process have been fixed.

 

I guess the process would be similar at my local boutique.

I'm still trying to figure out how to list all my pens down here.

@Tom Kellie I think it's time for a field trip to visit Las Vegas and meet @Frank C and me.  As you know at least one boutique has already offered this opportunity to Frank.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

Do you know how long it takes?

The short answer I have is I have no clue. The timeline I was quoted during my video conference with Germany was 6-8 weeks if my memory is correct.

 

The process started on 02-APR-2022 when I purchased the pen and bespoke nib. I had a video conference mid May and in early July I got an automated message that my pen was ready to be picked up. The nib on the pen I received at the boutique was not the bespoke signature nib I had ordered and it turns out the pen had never left the US. Montblanc USA has yet to provide me a timeline for delivery of my bespoke nib or provided an explanation of why the pen made it back through their system to the boutique with what looked like an odd B nib.
