Limited edition for 110th anniversay of Montblanc

Montblanc celebrates its 110th anniversary with the “Heritage Rouge et Noir” collection, revisiting the first series of “Fountain Pen” writing instruments introduced in 1909 and inspired by the novel by Stendhal. The cap of the writing instrument features a sinuous snake, one of the oldest mythological figures. It is from the restyling of the iconic writing instrument that the “Rouge & Noir Limited Edition” eyewear, an aviator shape frame with double bridge, draws its inspiration. Designed, produced and distributed by Marcolin, the frames is sold worldwide starting November at select eyewear retailers and Montblanc boutiques. The snake motif on the cap reappears in the gold plated metal reeded edge of the front, while the temple tips recall the shape of a snake’s head. The red and black chromatic combination of the writing implement appears again in the frame temples, reinterpreted in Mazzucchelli acetate exclusively for this special edition. Every frame is flawlessly finished by hand, numbered and dated “1906”, the year the Maison was established, with the words “Limited Edition” feature on the temples.
