In 1906, three men shared the dream of manufacturing fountain pens of the highest quality. Nearly a century later their company would be responsible for preserving the legacy of writing culture and defending the heritage of high-touch in an increasingly high-tech world.
1906 Entrepreneur Claus Johannes Voss and Merchant Christian Lausen with the aid of Wilhelm Dziambor founded the Simplo-Filler Pen Company.
1910 The Simplo-Filler Pen Company name was changed to the official trade name Montblanc. Legend has it that the founders decided to name the company Montblanc during a game of scat when an analogy was drawn between the highest mountain in Europe, Mont Blanc, and their desire to create writing instruments of the highest quality.
1913 The cap with the white star was introduced. The white star represents the snow peaked cap of the Mont Blanc mountain.
1919 The first Montblanc Boutique opened in Hamburg, Germany.
1924 The Montblanc Meisterst眉ck fountain pen was introduced. This award winning design has been showcased in museums worldwide.
1992 Montblanc expanded its luxury lifestyle offerings to include precious and unique writing instrument finishes, leather accessories and highly collectible Limited Editions.
1995 Montblanc North America opened five Boutique locations in major markets such as New York, Boston, Chicago, and San Francisco. There are now over 125 Montblanc Boutiques worldwide with 25 Boutiques located in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
1997 Montblanc introduced the Meisterst眉ck Watch collection at Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie in Geneva, Switzerland.
1999 Montblanc celebrates the 75th anniversary of the Meisterst眉ck line by creating a collection of Limited Anniversary Editions commemorating 75 years of passion and soul.
