Two of Montblanc’s high end limited edition writing instruments will be seen for the first time in the Middle East when they are unveiled at this year’s Doha Jewellery and Watches Exhibition taking place at the Doha Exhibition Centre in Qatar from 22 – 26 February 2016.
To be previewed at an exclusive reception for collectors on the eve of the show opening, the unique Montblanc Limited Edition Boheme Skeleton Papillon and Limited Edition Etoile Mystérieuse writing instruments are the latest additions to an already magnificent collection of jewelled writing instruments handcrafted by Montblanc.
The Limited Edition Boheme Skeleton Papillon fountain pen is a one of a kind artisan piece crafted in solid red and white gold, and adorned with 1,402 brilliant cut diamonds totalling 7.21 carats and 37 flawless sapphires. Fragile butterflies and Keatsian plant tendrils delicately envelop the solid gold skeleton barrel and cap, culminating in a beautiful bloom. The 18 carat gold nib with platinum inlay is finely engraved with the iconic Montblanc emblem, as well as the significant 4810 numeral – a reference to the 4,810 metre height of Europe’s highest mountain, Mont Blanc, and Montblanc’s symbol of excellence.
Montblanc’s stunning Etoile Mystérieuse fountain pen continues the Maison’s heritage of exceptional craftsmanship in writing instruments. The elegant sterling silver writing instrument in black precious lacquer and crafted into a simple, yet elegant, curved silhouette includes 60 brilliant diamonds cascading down the barrel. A further 43 diamonds adorn the silver plated clip, while the signature Montblanc diamond floating in a transparent dome offers a crowning feature.
Eric Vergnes, President of Montblanc Middle East, India and Africa commented: “The Doha Jewellery and Watches Exhibition provides the perfect platform for Montblanc to showcase the exceptional craftsmanship, quality and design of our most exclusive pieces. We are particularly delighted that our collectors in Qatar will be among the first to appreciate the beauty and intricacies of the limited edition Boheme Skeleton Papillon and Etoile Mystérieuse writing instruments.”
Montblanc will be at the Ali Bin Ali exhibition stand at the Doha Jewellery and Watches Exhibition from 22 – 26 February 2016. Taking place at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Centre (DECC), Qatar, the fair will also showcase a selection of Montblanc’s expertly crafted timepieces, male jewellery and leather accessories.
