The 1913 snowcap emblem sits on the temples as a small, quiet mark.
Hamburg, 1906.
Montblanc began in 1906 as a fountain-pen venture between a Hamburg stationer, a Hamburg banker and a Berlin engineer, trading first as the Simplo Filler Pen Company. By 1910 the pens carried the name Montblanc, after the highest mountain in the Alps.
The white six-pointed star, adopted in 1913, shows the snowcap of Mont Blanc seen from above. The Meisterstück (“masterpiece”) name followed in 1924 and is still the house’s best-known pen. Since 2019 its eyewear has been made by Kering Eyewear, and recent collections borrow details from the Meisterstück pen.
