BACKSTORY

-

The recently unveiled Montblanc High Artistry Tribute to the Great Wall of China precision writing instrument­s pay homage to the world’s longest manmade monument. This mythic and still imposing structure remains a source of admiration around the world, and each of the five different limited editions takes design inspiratio­n from cultural themes associated with the wall’s long history, brought to life by expert craftsmen. Editions 1, 5, 10 and 88 honour the ancient art form of calligraph­y – a highly respected skill in China even today – while the 333 edition incorporat­es the symbolic colours red and yellow in a multilayer effect, created by a deep-red translucen­t lacquer underlay beneath an Au750 solid gold skeleton overlay. The handcrafte­d Au750 solid yellow gold nib bears an engraving of a tower inspired by the wall’s famous signal towers, while the Montblanc emblem, in mother-of-pearl, crowns the cap top.
