By.Tim Naff "Tim" (Huntsville, AL USA)

The Classic Design that Made Montblanc a Modern Standard, July 16, 2011.

There was a time when slim pens, notably those made by Cross, were the IN thing in the business world. Montblanc, which had been around since 1906, was thought of more as an aristocratic brand. Then, in the mid-nineties, Montblanc suddenly became the ultimate business-class pen. At that time, the product you see here sold for $100 -- considerably more than the Cross designs. The Montblanc pens, because they were thicker, were more comfortable to hold, and didn't tire out the hand like the slimmer pens and pencils. As others have said, the Montblanc pens also write incredibly smoothly. Other brands followed suit with thicker pens, but, if you wanted the ultimate, you bought a $100 Montblanc Meisterstuck pen. It was the gold-standard. If you were in the technical disciplines, you bought a pen-and-pencil pair.

It wasn't long before Montblancs became so widespread, that they lost a bit of their cache. Montblanc Corporation also offered a wide range of special designs, including limited-editions, and while they sold enough to make a profit, business people, particularly men, tended to treat them as a bit frivolous for everyday use. Montblanc faced a problem: most of the people who could afford Montblancs and valued them as symbols of success as well as practical writing instruments already had them. Could Montblanc count on new professionals entering the workplace buying their pens? Or would new professionals see them as symbols of the previous generation? Would they go the way of the slim designs?

Montblanc made a smart business decision. They decided to raise the price of the Meisterstuck. I don't know how long Montblanc took to get to the current price point of $350, or exactly when they made the first price increase beyond $100. Maybe someone else will comment. I do believe that the ploy worked. The Meisterstuck is now, more than ever, a symbol of success. My wife and I have bought two them as gifts in the past two years: one for a woman who had graduated to executive status in her company and another for a nephew who had just graduated med-school.

Montblanc pens carry a guarantee. You may want to read the details online.
I had several Montblanc pens and pencils that had been damaged in various ways over long use. A couple of years ago, I took them all into the Montblanc store at Phipps Plaza in Atlanta and had them repaired while I waited. Repair was done by parts replacement. The repair cost was reasonable, considering the current retail price. The message is that you need not consider a Meisterstuck pen as a fragile investment. One the other hand, if you buy one of the limited editions, you should probably handle it with extra care, because parts may not be available.

I bought my wife, whose resume includes editorial work, an Edgar Alan Poe limited-edition model on sale in the same Phipps Plaza shop some years ago for $350. On eBaY, in the present rotten economy, they fetch from $800 to $1000. So the limited editions are not a bad investment either.

Today, I carry a Montblanc similar to the one listed here, which I also own. The one I carry is thicker than this one and is no longer listed on the Montblanc website. Montblanc does still carry the parts. In about 10 years of use, the gold plating has never worn off. The pen is an old and trusted friend. I have to take a lot of notes by hand with the pen, and I don't like to be without it. The only time I don't carry it is on vacations, when I'm afraid that the break in my routine might cause me to lose it. One downside of an expensive pen is fear of loss.

If you make heavy use of your pen, and you can afford a Montblanc, you owe it to yourself to have one. I predict that it will become as much a part of your getting-dressed routine as your wallet and key ring.
