Montblanc Catalogue 2016 - A Couple Of Pictures

[Dcharles]

Looks like someone at MB over-ordered hammered metal when making last year's Writer's Edition.

There are also pictures of Rouge et Noir pens, right?

Yes, I just thought it was nothing new.

I'm glad they are doing a pen in Sterling Silver (my fave finish) again. Another MB to desire.

Two weeks ago the good folks at Montblanc informed me that my Solitaire Martele in OB nib will be delayed until October/November.. Meh..

 

Today I got a call from them saying that they'll sell me one now pre-release, while the requested nib remains on order So.. I have this to un-seal and ink later tonight

 

Don't you just love Montblanc?

 

[C3Misiek]

I am so amazed that they did that for you! This is what I call excellent customer service!

[Maktoob0303]

My heart just skipped a little! There's the Martele that I am supposed to have in about 25 days or so OB nib ordered

how much was it?

[Valdair]

In another thread he said roughly the equivalent of $1500 USD.

In Switzerland the Meisterstück Martelé Sterling Silver retails at 1530 CHF (1570 US).

Sorry I'm mid-travel. Hard to find wifi in airports. Yes that is correct.

I don't often like Montblanc's new designs in the last 15 years, but this Sterling Martele strikes my fancy. Is it a cartridge/converter filler? Which size nib?

 

I have hammered Parker 51 pens and hammered copper arts & crafts (Mission style) items from the early 20th century, so it makes sense that I'm drawn to the Martele.

I have this to un-seal....

 

 

 

In another thread, a question was posed about pens delivered sealed in plastic. My reply was that the Montblanc boutique never delivered a new pen to me sealed in plastic, but apparently you have received just such a pen.

The pen is really gorgeous in person. Please check recent purchases thread for more pics

 

It's a 146 size. Piston naturally etc.

 

I think generally LEs (POA series and up) and fragile pens come sealed.

Is there more pictures about this pen?

Look in recent purchases. I posted more there

[Valdair]

Did you get the leaking/bubbling problem solved?

Hi Valdair.. Not yet. The pen is still not on their system so they can't open a repair request. Also they only had the one piece so they can't exchange as of today. They offered to take care of me but requested to be patient.

[Vlad Soare]

Too bad they made the piston knob shiny. It would have looked better in the same pattern as the body. That's one thing I generally dislike about most Solitaires - the plain and shiny back end, which doesn't seem to match the rest of the pen.

 

By the way, is the piston knob made of silver, too? Or is it just the regular rhodium-plated knob of other Solitaires?

Love the looks of the barrel, but I will never again buy a pen withy a shin metallic section. i have oily hands and cannot write with such pens.
