Mont Blanc was founded by a Hamburg stationer in 1906. Initially named the Simplo Filler Pen company, they changed this name to Mont Blanc in 1911. They have been making superb pens ever since. From the beginning Mont Blanc has been making many of the world's most wonderful pens. Without question, the most favored in this range of writing instruments are those in the Meisterstuck line. Meisterstuck is actually German for masterpiece and no one could argue that this title doesn't suit these legendary pens. Each pen manufactured by Mont Blanc over the years is a masterpiece, without exception.Mont Blanc have obviously gone on to create new products in their range, but so far none of them has overtaken the iconic status of the Meisterstuck. Probably the most wonderful feature of the Meisterstuck pen is the central inscribed ring, contained within two plain, thinner equidistant rings and normally made of gold. Supreme attention to detail in the manufacturing process makes Mont Blanc the most luxurious of fountain pens and famous in the world of pens.This brings us to the next generation of pens made by Mont Blanc, led by the StarWalker collection. Coming with a modern name with styling to match, the Mont Blanc StarWalker still keeps to the tradition of manufacturing pens of superb and flawless design with true master craftsmanship. The StarWalker pen range, as with other ranges, comprises a fountain pen, ballpoint pen, mechanical pencil and a rollerball pen. These new writing instruments by Mont Blanc are cleverly designed, stylish, practical and very easy to write with. Use it in your hand and you'll never forget how it feels to write with, how it flows over the paper. The StarWalker is perfectly shaped and is a real treat to use. As with all Mont Blanc writing instruments, the desire for writing is insatiable.
