In my mind at least, Montblanc would always be the writing instrument company that nearly singlehandedly brought fountain pens “back” after languishing for decades under the reign of the ballpoint. And its Hamburg-based writing instrument manufactory continues to push the boundaries of pen making as evidenced by the just-introduced one-of-a-kind Homage to Hannibal Barca shown here. This latest High Artistry Homage to Hannibal Barca is a dazzling example of Montblanc's resolute commitment to writing instruments , stretching the edges of possibilities with new purpose, products and techniques. The pen combines a variety of proficiencies rendered in-house by Montblanc’s well-practiced designers, toolmakers, engravers, stone cutters and setters, and many more. I must interject here that first and foremost, this is a pen, with all the requisite features of a fine writing instrument.
