  • The Montblanc Meisterstück Calligraphy collection is a contemporary interpretation of the classic black and gold colors. Did you know that in Chinese culture calligraphy represents personality and success? Calligraphy is a visual art related to writing. Its meaning is ‘’the art of beautiful writing’’ from the Greek word ‘’Kalos’’ which is beauty but as well recovers the notion of a moral, ethical virtue. A contemporary definition of calligraphic practice could be ‘’the art of giving form to signs in an expressive, harmonious, and skillful manner’’. The writing instrument is finished with a hand-crafted 18k solid gold nib with ruthenium coating and uses a piston filling mechanism.

      This nib is not like the flex nibs on vintage pens I've owned or used. I'm willing to wait and see, but if history is any indication, just about everything is wrong with this combination of pen and nib.

    While very expensive these are very exciting. I have both a 149 and 145 as well as a Homer and St. Exupery editions. I often read how they are so overpriced but my experience has been that they are great writers, as well as pieces of art I can carry with me every day. Thank you once again for an informative and well done video.

    I have 2 149 Montblanc Meisterstück fountain pens. One has a 14k nib that has been ground and adjusted with added flex by Mike Masuyama (it's my EDC and never leave home without it). The other is an 18k that has been ground to EF from a medium. These are regal pens. A treat to write with and the ink capacity is a dream.
    Thank you for sharing and showing us this lovely addition to the Meisterstück family.

      @@geofdunn1091 hey there Geof.. I have to say.. I have some very nice and a few expensive fountain pens.. over the years I have truly learned that price and gold are not actually the measure of a great pen.. I get as much enjoyment from my Jinhao 159 with a fine Goulet (Jowo) steel nib as I do with some of my classified pens that may skip or hard start. Sure, a nibmeister can fix most of this.. but the problem is finding one that has the time to do the job. Rock whatever you can afford and love them for the pleasure you will get. Thanks!!

    @strelnikoff7 Před 5 lety +1

    Why 18K and not 14K? Since it has been so far proven and in practice - to have 14K alloy used for flexible nibs (less prone to permanent deformation and better elastic properties than 18K)?
    Any info on this?
    Amazing pen - considering I own two 149's (among other MBs) - this one I really want/need since I don't even use my 2 149s.
