What's Your Favourite Looking Montblanc?

[Memorexx]

not sure if I would be to scared of breaking it or scratching it or...

Unless I don't know where to spend my money Then I would buy 2...one for collecting and one for using

[Pravda]

Let's say hypothetically you buy a pen for 30 grand.

Would you write with it?

Why would you buy a pen if not to write with it!?

 

If you buy a car for 30 grand, would you not drive it?

[Memorexx]

well...I don't know...

I am used to that a car cost several ten thousand dollars

A pen is just so much smaller...

[thygreyt]

If you buy a pen, any pen, regardless of the price, if you don't use it... What's the point?

 

I have a few pens, and I love them all... And all get used, it's how I show my love.

[dubhe]

Sometime I wait a short period to ink the pen, but not because I am not sure, just I want to prolong the moment.

 

Favourite pen? 90 year skeleton, in theory I could sell my entire collection and just about afford it. One day...

I have to share this beauty that I recently re-discovered in one of my boxes as it is a very special pen.

 

Max Reinhardt edition from 2007; 30 pens were made in white gold with inlays in mountain crystal. The inlays have a hand engraved relief structure. F nib which suits this pen perfectly.

 

Pictures do not do justice to this piece of art :-)

Thank you for posting those images.

It's the first that I've seen crystal used on a fountain pen.

An exceptionally beautiful artwork.

I am completely available for adoption! What a fabulous beauty.

Beautiful pen Axis. What a nice thing to rediscover.

[meiers]

Yes. I write with all my pens despite the price tag

...because you understand why there at fountain pens in the world.

Really digging this thread and all the beauties within it! My personal favorites are the Charlie Chaplin and James Watt 35. I think this last one is very elegant looking and the skeletonized design is superb.

That's the Montblanc James Watt 35?

Wow! I've never seen one. Thank you for posting the nice images.

It's an engineer's delight, isn't it?

The Skeleton pen design team in Hamburg must’ve had fun designing such an intricate pen.

Was it made available in 2014, or so? I remember having read about it a few years ago.

Truly elegant. I'm glad that it’s in your collection.

Thank you, Tom! Yes, its from 2014.

[thygreyt]

Wow, i'm in love and salivating all over the pen's picture.

 

Congratulations on owning such a beautiful masterpiece.

This thread is just divine, with all those pictures I would say more, more, more....

[Kodiac136]

I would love to get an Agatha Christie (but it will probably never happen)

[torstar]

The Proust.

 

Balances perfectly while posted, with screw on cap.

 

It's freakin named after Proust.

 

I paid about 1/8th the price that it routinely sells for on ebay.

 

What more could i want.

No :-))

 

The Michelangelo is much less delicate in appearance and style. (not for me)

Saw it last summer in the Paris boutique - nice choice!
