The Montblanc Heritage Collection Rouge et Noir “Baby” celebrates the pioneering spirit and rich heritage of the Montblanc maison. Inspired by the original Montblanc “Baby” pens from the 1920s Montblanc reinterprets the then unexpected design and gives it a modern twist. The name “Baby” playfully describes its small size compared to other Montblanc writing instruments. Created in black precious lacquer and with platinum-coated fittings it is crowned by a Montblanc emblem in precious resin surrounded by the iconic coral hue of the Montblanc Rouge et Noir collection. Montblancs baby pens of the 1910s and 1920s were some of the smallest writing instruments of their time and among the most innovative. Leakproof travel-sized and easy to use their forward-thinking design helped to transform the world of writing during a period when people were discovering the joys of mobility on a grand scale. Now reinterpreted for a new generation these special editions unite heritage design with 21st century craftsmanship. In the 1910s and 1920s the baby pen models in Montblancs safety pen range had a length of 6 to 8 cm. Small in size yet fully functional these fountain pens were crafted from hard ebonite rubber and equipped with a 14ct gold nib. Ballpoints and rollerballs didnt yet exist so that the baby pens were a useful companion when out and about that would easily fit in pockets or small handbags.
