The guiding principle behind Montblanc’s Great Characters series is to tell the stories of iconic figures in global culture by creating high-quality writing instruments using materials emblematic of each individual’s legacy.
As part of this series, Montblanc has produced a new collection dedicated to honoring the legacy of the man whose dynamic performances and flamboyant style created a unique culture of music and fashion worldwide, turning him into an enduring icon. This, of course, is Elvis Presley, born in Mississippi, who became the ‘King of Rock ‘n’ Roll’ or simply ‘The King,’ with over a hundred unforgettable songs, thousands of performances, dozens of films, and more than a billion records sold.
The collection comprises two groups of writing instruments, crafted from Montblanc’s unique materials and designed by artists in its creative workshop. Each group commemorates a milestone in Elvis’s illustrious career. The first is a Special Edition inspired by his 1968 comeback concert, while the second, Limited Edition 1935, pays homage to his performances in Las Vegas.
Elvis had a deep love for cars, and the design of the writing instruments reflects this passion. The pen clip resembles an engine piston, and the grip is shaped like a “V” with eight facets, reminiscent of the V8 engines he favored. The Limited Edition 1935, marking the King’s birth year, captures Elvis’s originality in attire with a cap adorned in his recognizable style.
In summary: Write and remember the songs.
