Overview

Mont Blanc International is a German manufacturing company of luxury goods, based in Hamburg. Montblanc produces a wide range of products, including goods for travel, writing implements, watches and jewellery, among other products. A trademark identified with Montblanc is the white stylized six-pointed snowcap with rounded edges, representative of the Mont Blanc snowcap from above, the symbol being adopted in 1913. The number “4810”, the mountain’s height in metres, is also a commonly recurring theme. In January 2014, Hugh Jackman was announced as Montblanc’s Global Brand Ambassador, outside of the United States. In November 2019, Montblanc launched their partnership with The Webster for a limited-edition, capsule collection. Montblanc makes several models of pens, with the Meisterstück (fountain pen) representing the cornerstone model. Each is slightly different, however, Meisterstück models created after 1990 have a serial number located on the ring at the top of the clip. Under the clip is usually the words “Made in Germany” and often “Pix”. The barrels of pens made of black ‘precious resin’ will reveal a reddish hue under strong lighting; if the pen in question does not have these attributes then it is possibly a fake.
