Like best
One of the things I like best is the ritual of filing the ink container with ink from such an old fashioned ink bottle.
Takes few minutes and I like doing it
The fountain pens are so good they never leak not even aboard an aircraft
Some Montblanc Fountain pens I am dreaming about...
Here is a small selection. The Kandinsky is my favorite: Followed by the " Blue Hour ": The Guggenheim: The Da Vinci: And the Scipione Borghese: If I could get at least one of them, I would be extremely happy. The Guggenheim is an old love, since 2016 and...
I have a friend/former co-worker who was walking back to the office after lunch one afternoon
and looked down and found a gold MB fountain pen laying on the sidewalk. Nice find!! I found a MB mechanical pencil in a bag of misc. pens and pencils our "gal Friday" brought in one morning and said "take what you want, my husband cleaned out his desk dr...
These are my two favorite Montblancs ...
... and the two that got away -- the de Medici and the Hemingway. Prices have soared -- not unlike a nice 4 or 5-digit steel Rolex. ...
We sure do Nicolas
You love many of the same simpler classic watches that I love, so it's not surprising with pens. As with watches, there were quite a few understated fountain pens even 20 years ago. Then the pen industry moved in the 'luxury' direction and designs became ...
Wow
Great pic! Iām embarrassed to admit Iām not familiar with this Duofold. I have 4-5 of the earlier models (Black, Orange, Pearl and Black) which I love, though the ink flow could be better on a couple of them.
The Hemingway is fantastic!
I have two ball point Hemingways but no fountain pen. It think it's my second favorite, just behind the original de Medici. I remember thinking how expensive these were when they were new. Now they're unobtainable ... almost. Of course, compared to watche...
The Kandinsky looks more like a Silberstein!
STOP TEMPTING ME -- I cannot get interested in collecting more things ... like titanium pens! Mike ...
Iāve had three great looking MontBlanc pens ...
That have had to be returned with serious defects.
I have a Bordeaux colored ballpoint, many, many years ago I had it in the inside breast pocket of my sportcoat, jut loose in the pocket, not clipped.
Got home, took the coat out of the car, pen slid out and hit the concrete driveway and the top half of the pen basically shattered. Took it to the store I bought it from fully ready to buy another. The saleslady I bought it from said "let me send it back ...

I have to say,
the Scipione Borghese looks particularly appealing to me out of your selection . Some of the others are a tad over the top for my tasted . Would love to see them all of course! Cheers, Filip
Didnāt know
I didnāt know youāre into pens as well. My favorite Montblancs are the John F Kennedy and the classical MeisterstĆ¼ck Jurry
Thank you Nicolas
For raising the interest, is it a common thing to be ingested in fountain pens and watches? Having both the MB diplomat and Pleikan 800/600 I find writing with the pelican a more rewarding experience. What do you think of that?
