MONTBLANC
MONTBLANC , whose brand icon is the "White Star" inspired by the melting snow of Mont Blanc, the highest peak in the Alps, was founded in Hamburg, Germany in 1906. The brand started with three people—a stationery merchant, a banker, and an engineer—making fountain pens, and since then, it has established an unshakeable position as synonymous with luxury writing instruments. The company name became MONTBLANC in the 1930s, after the launch of the Meisterstück in 1924, and the brand was later acquired and became part of the Richemont Group. Today, it produces a wide range of items that are partners in a luxurious business lifestyle, from authentic mechanical watches manufactured in Switzerland to leather goods and digital tools made in its own workshop in Florence, Italy.
