Montblanc M

A Continuous Silhouette

The Montblanc M was conceived in collaboration with Marc Newson and moves away from the conventional proportions of the Meisterstück. Continuous surfaces and a flat end define its presence.

The project demonstrates how a historic brand can invite another design vocabulary without abandoning recognizable elements, such as the white emblem.

Closure and Experience

The magnetic system guides the alignment of the cap and directly participates in the act of use. This detail must function with precision and deserves inspection in used pieces.

Evaluate the mechanism, refill, or nib according to the version. Marked design does not eliminate practical concerns of ergonomics and maintenance.
