A noteworthy year in the modern history of development of Montblanc as a manufacturer of highgrade fountain pens is 1992 launching of the Montblanc Writers Edition.
With its Montblanc 149 as a base structure and shorter barrel design, reminiscent of Montblanc 139 line, Montblanc Hemingway Writers Edition has earned the position of a great favorite among collectors and, of course, dedicated users who bought it at time at a relatively affordable price. Montblanc Hemingway Writers Edition’s top cap snowflake is a reminder of Montblanc classic era as seen in the now highly collectable Montblanc 139 line.
After Montblanc Hemingway, the company succeed in designing few other masterpieces, especially the renowned 1993 Agatha Christie with it famous clip and the now highly sought after 1999 Montblanc Writers Edition Marcel Proust. One of the most interesting aspects of the Writers Edition is the variety Montblanc created in designing the top cap snowflake. Today, the variety one sees in Montblanc snowflake is nowhere as visible as in the Writers Edition series presented every year around late summer.
