Montblanc Classique Meisterstück Fountain Pen Around the World in 80 Days - 132879

The Meisterstück Around the World in 80 Days collection is inspired by Jules Verne's famous adventure novel, "Around the World in 80 Days." The Classique fountain pen, adorned with dark blue precious resin, recounts the epic journey of Mr. Fogg and Passepartout. On the final leg from Yokohama to London via the United States, the duo crosses the vast American continent by train. Admire the intricate details: an elegantly laser-engraved train on the cap, a safety chain motif on the cone, which reproduces a rotating motion when Passepartout detaches the train from the locomotive to save the crew from attack by the Sioux. The cap design immortalizes the pressure valves and smoke from the locomotive, while the clip displays the red-lacquered ace of hearts, symbolizing the union of Phileas Fogg and Princess Aouda. Furthermore, the card suits represent Fogg's daring gamble to complete the journey in just 80 days. The top of the cap is embossed with the chronology of the journey: 36 days from Yokohama to London, culminating in a total of 80 days around the world. This writing instrument is enhanced by a handcrafted 14K gold nib engraved with 14/11, a tribute to the date of Fogg's departure from Yokohama, and 21/12, the date of his return to the London club to win the bet, as part of his ambitious plan. It is also decorated with a hot air balloon, a reference to Jules Verne's first adventure novel.
