Ahh, I've been collecting Montblanc pens for 20 years...

I remember collecting Montblanc pens for 20 years and 20 years ago they were very much a pen brand. But the pen industry was declining. Revenue was falling dramatically. They had to supplement the income with something else. They placed huge emphasis on watches, several years ago, the pen revenue was eclipsed by the watch revenue. So today, Montblanc sells more watches than pens.
But historically, the Hamburg based brand is historically known for their first product. Pens. And that history will never change, even if one day in the future we don't use pens at all!
