Any chance to see a new Montblanc M?

[A1979]

Hello! Do you think there is any chance of seeing a new model in the Montblanc M collection in the future? I know this model received mixed reviews, but I personally love it and own three out of the four versions: the classic one, the Ultra Black with the orange ring, and the Red Signature in metal (my favorite).

@Uncial mentions (15 December 2024): “There is also a metal M with a red feed.”

 

It sounds similar to the RED Signature pen.  Like you, @A1979, I too am an enthusiast of the “M” fountain pens, dreaded step-down at the forepart|section and all — so much so that I have the variants you named as well as the version in bright red resin.  It will be interesting to see what the new “M” is like.

Thank you very much for your reply. Happy to be in such good company! Yes, I saw that mention - I was just surprised by the description, as it seems almost too similar to the Red Signature. Let’s wait and see…

@A1979 The honour is mine!

I was also surprised by the description.  But “metal” is fairly vague so the pen could take any number of appearances.

I also like the Montblanc M series.  It reminds me of the simple Parker 25 that I used during when I was at Uni in the late 1980s.  Unfortunately, I can't justify the price of the Montblanc M series to myself (let alone to my significant other).  I fear that modern Montblanc pens no longer represent value for money and I will stick with my vintage collection.

@austollie I am far too ignorant about vintage fountain pens for my or anyone else’s comfort on the subforum, so I must ask, could you share some information about your collection?  Even the tiniest tidbit of data will help.

Hi NoType,

 

With absolute pleasure!  See below for an article that I posted on this forum a couple of years ago about my MB Carrera collection.  I am rather obsessed with this line of student pen.  Unfortunately, Montblanc discontinued all student pens by 1980 or so.  Not everyone is a fan of these, but I sure am!

@austollie Thank you very much!  I will enjoy perusing this thread.

After rewatching this excellent review of the very first Montblanc M…

… it suddenly struck me that 2025 will mark the 10th anniversary of its release. This could be a great reason to introduce a new model this year, if the rumor turns out to be true.

@A1979 Many thanks for the link to this review, which is brand new to me.

 

I too had not realised that 2025 will usher in the tenth year of the Montblanc M.

 

I cannot think of a better opportunity to celebrate this milestone than with a new model.

Thank you! Actually, it seems to me that there aren’t many good video reviews of the Montblanc M, or at least not as many as for other models like the Meisterstück. Below are two other good references (at least in my opinion):

 

Montblanc M Ultra Black - review by “sbrebrown”

 

Montblanc M Red Signature - review by “Figboot on Pens”

@A1979 That is the situation I encountered as well.  Thank you very much for these links, both to reviews that are new to me.
