Calligraphy Gold Leaf 2019?

[hdw]

Hi Guys,

 

I was browsing the MB website and found this new solitaire calligraphy rollerball. Upon a simple google search I also found a hyperlink to a fountain pen too but the link has seemingly stopped working. The rollerball appears to still work.

In case it stops working. Quote from the rollerball

"The Meisterstück Solitaire Calligraphy Rollerball is a contemporary interpretation of the classic black and gold colours. This writing instrument, made of black translucent lacquer, is embellished with real gold leaf applied by hand and features a full black PVD clip and three full black PVD rings embossed with the Montblanc brand name."

Thoughts?

 

Kind Regards

Oooo... nice catch. Looks like an interesting version of a classic.

Oh, cool.

 

The hyperlink does read:

119700meisterstueck-sol-gold-leaf-flex-nib-fountain-pen

 

Which can easily be separated as:

item no: 119700 Meisterstuck Solitaire Gold Leaf Flex nib Fountain pen.

 

The body is likely the same as the rollerball... its just a matter of playing with the nib...!

 

(Sure, we all knew about this months ago, but its nice to see!)

It's indeed nice to see.

Progress from maybe to possibly to fait accompli.

I hope that it will be well received by the market.

A further google imaging search shows the fountain pen on amazon!?!?

Looks rather epic to me.

Looks like they have decided to raise the price on what was originally proposed, which is a shame. I want to know a lot more about that nib but I am seriously tempted.

It's like a Cartier one from a while past.

PVD? What's that?

 

It's a great look. Can't see the FP (hdw's link takes me to an empty MB page?) but the rollerball body is attractive.

 

Thanks.

Don't remember exactly the price of the FP. There are 2 prices: one with a normal nib and one with the flex nib (2 sizes) that is little bit expensive. I think the 2 FPs are around 1800-2000€.

The engravings on the nib look exactly the same as what a nib tester would draw when doing their job.

Once again a mistake from MB, as these pieces will be launched in September, not before...

@HDW : yes, it is the one!

The gold leaf version of the Calligraphy Meisterstück is a 146, looking like the Louis Cartier finish launched some years ago, as said by RSVP ; I have only seen the version with a soft Calligraphy nib.

On the same time, a soft nib 149 will be launched, with its regular finish in black resin.

Concerning the prices of the golden leaf, I will not argue but the 149 will not raise far above its normal price.
