What to know about Montblanc
A pen house that expanded outward
The Meisterstück fountain pen, which turned 100 in 2024, is the origin point; leather goods and watches were built around it and the six-pointed white star.
Watches are genuinely Swiss-made
Movements come from Montblanc's own Le Locle and Villeret workshops, the latter the historic Minerva manufacture, so watchmaking is not a licensed side line.
Two leather lines, two moods
Extreme covers the harder-wearing, textured end of the bags and small leather goods; Sartorial is the flatter, quieter register at the same high price tier.
