A symbol of life and rebirth, the serpent has been an object of desire and fascination through the ages. A recurring motif in art and design, the mysterious creature was a rich source of inspiration during the Art Nouveau and Art Deco period.
This fountain pen is inspired by the mystery and symbolism of the serpent, the Montblanc Heritage Collection, Rouge & Noir, The Serpent Limited Edition 110 is made of PVD coated titanium in a sophisticated graphite colour, with the winding hand-engraved serpent crafted from Au750 solid white gold.
The texture of the hand-engraved serpent with its fine scales contrasts with the shininess of the satin finishes and the white gold fittings in a demonstration the most skilled craftsmanship and technical agility. Shining brightly, the captivating eyes of the snake stand out in red rubies on both the clip and the Au750 white gold nib of the writing instrument. Breathing life into the creature, the clip features a flexible tongue like a real hissing serpent. Limited to just 110 pieces as a tribute to the Maison’s milestone anniversary, the Montblanc emblem is crafted from mother-of-pearl embedded in bright coral and ivory coloured resin.
Like the serpent that sheds its skin to renew itself, the Montblanc Heritage Collection, Rouge & Noir, The Serpent Limited Editions underscore Montblanc’s pursuit of excellence, rethinking the rules of craftsmanship since 1906 with extraordinary pieces.
