There are a lot of other nice pens to buy with that kind of a price tag!

An evening with Montblanc (and Ferrari)

 
 By: Medem : March 18th, 2023-06:03
This week we attended a local presentation of the new Montblanc Ferrari Stilema SP3 Limited Edition 599 fountain pen. An artisanal writing piece created by Montblanc and Ferrari that pays homage to the new Ferrari Daytona SP3. Photo courtesy of Montblanc ...  

Thanks for the report and the great pictures!

It’s certainly an interesting design but for 30500 Euros I would rather have a watch! All the best, Jon

I completely agree!

even a few watches

These fountain pens are out of my purchasing power, but it is fascinating to see and handle these marvels and I can completely see why two guests in our small party put their names down for them.

A beautiful pen that I’d love to write with…

but I was flabbergasted by the RM-level pricing. It must be in part to make sure they go to true aficionados.

Agree

I really liked it, although it does look quite unique and technical for Montblanc. I thought the reference to the transaxle was very clever and nicely executed.

I like fountan pens, and this one is quite intriguing. However.....

At that price point, well, not in my league price wise at all. I guess MB is catering to Ferrari owners, i.e., the people who can afford Farrari cars, perhaps(??) I do like the design, but......

As a long time collector of artisan fountain pens I must say that this is the worst designed pen they produced imho

Saw it some months ago when it was shown together with the whole range of new products for 2023. Simple collaboration piece with Ferrari but really no Montblanc-DNA shown here. Technically nicely done but that is it. Re the price: this is hilarious! Usual... 

yep, asked the head of production why they did that

no satisfying answer - because this pen was designed by Ferrari they picked that nib :-(

Unfortunately I have to agree with you ... A lazy pininfarina design, similar looking pens can be found for few hundred euros.

No Montblanc DNA whatsoever. The pricing is solely based on how expensive the car is. I have the silver Enzo Ferrari pen which at a fraction of the price looks infinitely more interesting.

Thanks for commenting

I am not a collector, but I am a fountain pen user. I was given a black Meisterstück when I was 16 and it has remained in constant use since. I can see why the design is polarizing for pen collectors.

Very nice! Thanks for sharing!

My last pen was the Borghese, which I really like!

I have seen this being teased on the MB website and was curious. Thanks for the pictures and writeup. Did I read the price right, 30,500 Euros?? That's $32,000+ in USD, I'll pass!

Yes! I was surprised with the price tag!
