"happiness" (Mb Bonheur)

[MrsHobie]

Hello

 

A few months ago, I spotted in my favorite FP dealer's window a new FP : the MontBlanc Bonheur.

 

What can we read on MB website ?

 

The Bonheur Collection design is rooted in the heritage of the 1920’s fashion revolution, epitomising elegance and freedom. While still feminine in shape, the pure and simple black and white precious resin combined with platinum-coated fittings stands for women freed from corsets, looking towards elegant yet functional and free clothing. It’s about black and white. Women and men. Elegance and function. The nib is inspired by the name BONHEUR and its talismanic association with a falling star design

Elegance ? That's me ... with my old jeans and my Doc Martens

 

It took me a few months to gather enough money to buy it (I buy pens with what I earn selling penrolls), but last saturday was the day !

I bought it with a F nib. It's quite small : length : 12,7 cm, diameter from 8 mm to 15 mm.

It weights 30g, half of it for the cap, the other half for the pen itself.

Here it is, in the evening light :

 

 

 

of course, the MontBlanc star is on the cap

 

 

The other end is very thin, and prevents me from using a converter (same problem with Greta Garbo ...)

 

 

Let's have a look on the nib ...

 

Same profile as the Muses

 

Focus on the starry 14 k nib

 

I wrote a few words, sorry it's in French ... (MB St Exupéry Ink)

 

And with the Greta Garbo, just to prove they really are cousin :

It's a nice pen, rather "feminine" but I'm afraid that, like the Greta Garbo, it's not very comfortable to write for a long time. You must have small hands ...

Votre stylo est si beau. Merci.

Lire ou entendre la langue française me rend toujours très heureux.

Your images are a delight to see.

What a fine pen you've acquired.

The nib design stands out.

Thank you for posting these photos here.

What a beautiful pen! I'm in love with the nib, a fully silver looking 14kt nib that looks like a dream.

 

Congratulations on the acquisition
