Montblanc – Great Characters Homage – Queen Limited Edition 1975

Montblanc - Queen - Great Character - Limited Edition

In the history of rock music, there are few names as timelessly iconic as Queen. Over five decades, the band shaped its own musical universe with extraordinary creativity and genre-spanning compositions from hard rock, glam, pop, funk, and opera. Montblanc honors these icons with the Great Characters Homage to Queen Limited Edition 1975, inspired by the album A Night at the Opera.

Black and white – symbols of contrast and drama – characterize the design of this edition and reflect Queen’s musical identity. The 1975 album is considered one of the most elaborate of the 20th century and a milestone in the band’s history. Freddie Mercury, Brian May, John Deacon, and Roger Taylor wrote music history together. Their stylized portraits adorn the black cap of the writing instrument and refer to legendary album covers such as Queen II and Hot Space.

At the center is Bohemian Rhapsody: an epic work that combines piano ballad, opera, and rock and embodies Mercury’s vision of musical greatness. His penchant for theatrical roles and the iconic black-and-white harlequin pattern inspired the rhombic design of the body. Brian May’s characteristic guitar sound is reflected in the platinum-coated cone, whose design is reminiscent of the controls on his legendary electric guitar. The cone ring bears the album title A Night at the Opera.

The edition is limited to 1,975 fountain pens and rollerballs. The cap head features the crown from Mercury’s performance of “God Save The Queen” – a symbol of the band’s majestic character. The writing instrument is rounded off by a platinum-coated clip in the shape of a microphone stand, a tribute to Mercury’s unmistakable stage presence.

Montblanc – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe – Limited Edition 2025

Im Zentrum des geistigen Aufbruchs des 18. Jahrhunderts stand Johann Wolfgang von Goethe – Universalgelehrter, Literat, Minister und Naturforscher. Getrieben von unstillbarem Wissensdurst, hinterließ er mit Werken wie Faust, seiner Farbenlehre und botanischen Studien ein umfassendes Erbe. Seine kreative Vielseitigkeit und sein Einfluss als Dichter, Staatsmann und Wissenschaftler wirken bis heute fort.

Montblanc würdigt Goethe mit der Writers Edition „Homage to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe“ Limited Edition, die besonders seine literarischen Leistungen ehrt. Schreiben war Goethes Lebenselixier – seine Werke umfassen über 3000 Gedichte. Mit „Die Leiden des jungen Werther“, geschrieben in nur vier Wochen, wurde er europaweit bekannt. Der Roman beeinflusste sogar das Design der Edition: Lack, Gravuren und Farben erinnern an Goethes Leben und Umfeld, etwa das Juno-Zimmer in seinem Weimarer Haus.

Goethes Begriff der „Weltliteratur“ stand für weltweiten kulturellen Austausch – sichtbar etwa in seinem West-Östlichen Divan. Das Design der Kappe als Globus symbolisiert diesen Dialog. Auch seine wissenschaftliche Arbeit würdigt die Edition: Die geschwungene Kappenform erinnert an Apothekergläser, der Blatt-Clip an seine Forschungen zur Pflanzenmorphologie. Korpus und Konus sind inspiriert von den Schreibgeräten, mit denen Goethe seine Gedanken festhielt.

Montblanc – Jimi Hendrix

Montblanc pays tribute to Jimi Hendrix, one of the most famous musicians of the 20th century and one of the most influential guitarists in the history of pop music. The eggshell white of the precious resin cap and the engraved pattern are inspired by one of the guitar straps worn by Jimi Hendrix. The black body, on the other hand, is adorned with an elegant pattern and is reminiscent of a wah-wah pedal. The platinum-plated clip is angled and shaped like the tremolo of an electric guitar. Another outstanding detail is the platinum-plated cap ring, inspired by a 1960s guitar cable and adorned with the engraved date of a famous Jimi Hendrix concert. The handmade nib in rhodium-plated 585 solid gold features a portrait of Jimi Hendrix.
