Is the pen truly mightier than the sword? You tell us. To celebrate the launch of the Montblanc M designed by the ridiculously talented Marc Newson, join our #MFGiveaway with Montblanc and stand a chance to win a Montblanc gift.
Through its collaboration with Newson, the Montblanc M signifies a new aesthetic language with the design legend’s trademark biomorphic style. He’s the co-designer of the Apple Watch (with Jonathan Ive) and his celebrated Lockheed Lounge chair was sold at a recent auction for a staggering sum that’s more expensive than a small plane.
While Newson has retained design elements of a Montblanc writing instrument, its shape is distinctive with a “plateau” at the non-writing end created by milling the polished black resin with a diamond tool.
Additionally, the Montblanc emblem, made from white resin, is ultrasonically welded on to form a perfectly flat surface while the platinum-plated clip is mounted flawlessly onto the cap. Optimally weighted, the ruthenium-plated metal forepart is engraved and its gold nib is plated using both rhodium and ruthenium. Functionality is expressed in the ingenious use of a magnetic closure with a snap mechanism ensuring that the cap remains firmly in place at all times.
With that in mind, if you’re keen on signing off with a brand new Montblanc writing instrument, simply join our Montblanc M Instagram giveaway. Everything is extremely easy these days (tap, tap, tap) if you just know how…
