Through the passion and commitment of the people who made it, each pair of hands has shaped a perfect object of desire. Even before a Montblanc writing instrument, watch, leather bag or piece of jewelry is placed in the hands of its new owner, it has already lived once. The talents and techniques of each Montblanc artisan have been patiently honed over many years and their knowledge will be passed on across generations. From writing instruments manufactured in Hamburg, to watchmaking workshops in Switzerland, to leather goods manufactured in Florence and the design studios in Paris, Montblanc breathes life and soul into every creation. Montblanc embodies the heart and soul of European craftsmanship. The uncompromising principles of design, style and quality have allowed Montblanc to create timeless pieces that are passed on from generation to generation. For over 100 years, Montblanc has embraced the traditions of lasting value and traditional craftsmanship.
