Medium (M) nib
Made in GERMANY
In 1999, to celebrate the company’s 75th anniversary, Montblanc innovated a brilliant new concept that revolutionized the pen market forever: the skeleton pen. The result was terrific.
Taking the classic Meisterstück 149 Diplomat and paring it to its essentials, Montblanc revealed the perfection of the design by eliminating all superfluities. The result was this legendary instrument, the world’s first skeleton pen and the most famous and desirable of all limited edition fountain pens.
Everything about this writing instrument exudes superiority. The skeleton overlay is crafted of 18K solid yellow gold over a translucent precious resin barrel. The skeleton 75th Anniversary is literally covered with engraving. The pen is engraved with elegant scrollwork on the rings (upper and lower), clip, nib, inner captop, including its marvelous patented telescopic piston which bears the name of the master-engraver (C. Schaffo). A brilliant-cut diamond adorns the section, and the captop star is luminous mother-of-pearl. The medium (M)18K gold nib, in large Diplomat size, is richly ornamented. The specific nib MB designed for this important model hits the top of my list of all-time best nibs. Maybe it is the best example of the penmaker’s art.Every detail, internal and external, reflects the highest standards of craftsmanship and design. As far as I am concern, the production of this pen took one month.
The pen comes in sealed (!) unused condition. Includes a spare domed magnifying box, created by Montblanc exclusively to showcase this pen. This specific display box sports a large built-in 8” lens in its top lid to allow proper magnification while the case bottom has a mirror to reflect back all the incoming light, ceating an illusion of suspended levitation, allowing the light to pass trough freely. It comes with outer boxes, display box, service guide (duly stamped), 3 specific plastic pen holders, MB key. Limited Edition ##/75
Notice for MB Artisan Collectors:
As already mentioned, a multitude of factors converge into this pen making it so special (and sought after). First of all, the Montblanc Skeleton LE75 is the first skeleton pen ever produced. A real turning point model in Montblanc history with a significant innovation dimension. It is really a holy grail of the skeletonized pens. Secondly, it is an anniversary-model. Only 75 pens were produced to mark the 75th anniverary of Montblanc in 1999. In every area of collecting (watches, cars, wines…), anniversary-models are always meaningful both for the brand and for Collectors. Moreover, with this model Montblanc inaugurated the Artisan Department (Atelier Privé). So, the Montblanc Skeleton 75 was the first stage in the establishment of a new – and never seen before – level of quality. So, here’s another detail that increases the historical significance of this reference. And that’s why, when the pen released, it caused a sensation all around the world.
