What Is The Most Popular Montblanc Pen Or Series?

[sygyzy]

As someone who knows nothing about Montblanc's, what would you say is the epitome pen for the company? In other words, what is the Rolex Submariner in the Montblanc world?

[BrandonA]

The 149 is the flagship pen.

[J Sorrell]

My two cents and I'm guessing:

 

Line = Meisterstuck

 

Pen = Probably the 149 or 146.

The most popular line of MB is the Masterpiece.

The flagship 149 is the one that in my eyes is most respected and adored.

The most popular though is probably one of the smaller CC pens from the Masterpiece clan.

I tend to see more 149 in the 'open'. Yet to see another Starwalker in the wild.

For years I have been told by sales reps, retailers, and people at trade shows that the 146 out sells the 149 in every market, every year: North America, Europe, Asia & Latin America. According to the same sources, the single best selling model is the 164 ballpoint. Though we love our fountain pens, we live in a happy bubble of ignorance. I'm staying right here.

Wow you guys are the best. Ok now I need to learn about the 146 and 149 to see if they would be a good fit for me. Thanks for being so friendly.

No doubt, the 149 is the flagship pen, but I bet that more people are using the 146 because of its more comfortable size even if they own a 149!?!

I was told the same thing by all the boutiques I have spoken with as well as the Fountain Pen Hospital and Joon's. The best SELLING Montblanc is indeed the classique ballpoint.

Saw a 75th Anniversary StarWalker ballpoint in the wild last night -- the StarWalker with the diamond in the crystal/resin. So pretty!

I was at the montblanc service centre yesterday - the lady that took my pen in gave me a blue stalwalker to sign the paper's. She was gone for around 15 mins, leave me and the pen alone

 

Guess that counts as in the wild? Also two of my best friends got stalwalkers for they birthday's, they laughed when they saw they have same pens.
