Montblanc launches Starwalker black mystery
Since 2003, purism and innovation have been united in Montblanc's most famous new writing instrument line, ‘StarWalker’. The prestigious brand is once again leading the way in terms of style and looks with the ‘StarWalker Black Mystery’ line, comprising fountain pen, ballpoint pen and fineliner. The most striking characteristic of the new ‘StarWalker Black Mystery’ is the linear laser-engraved pattern on the precious black lacquer, which, along with the floating Montblanc emblem in the cap top, enhances most effectively the unmistakably dynamic design of the ‘StarWalker’ that is both contemporary and sophisticated.
Exceptionality, dynamism and functional elegance – three characteristics that inspired Montblanc to create the Montblanc StarWalker line, heralding a new era in writing instrument design. In the meantime, the StarWalker has become one of the most successful and spectacular new developments in the ‘art of writing’. The modern, purist style of the line succeeds brilliantly in keeping an exciting balance between loyalty to the typical features of the brand and, at the same time, stepping decisively into the future – from deep-seated Montblanc tradition to new and visionary writing instrument creations. The message sent, however, remains the same: consciously taking time, in this fast-moving world, to send a hand-written greeting as an expression of highly personal esteem.
Exclusive materials are combined in the StarWalker Black Mystery line with a graphic surface structure. The deep black lacquer of the barrel and cap is set off by a filigree laser-engraved pattern: linear and futuristic, in keeping with the overall design of Black Mystery. This modern look is echoed by further forward-looking features such as the dynamic StarWalker silhouette, the slender, subtly protruding clip, the platinum-plated fittings and in particular the unique transparent cap top, in which the legendary Montblanc emblem seems to float through the infinity of time and space. It is a symbol of the skill of the master craftsmen at Montblanc who devote all their experience and passion to the making of every single writing instrument, thereby imbuing it with something truly unique: a soul. In addition to the fountain pen, with its hand-crafted rhodium-plated nib made of 14 k gold, the StarWalker Black Mystery line will be available from January 2009 as a ballpoint pen and a powerful fineliner, featuring an innovative spring mechanism at the tip.
