MONTBLANC Montblanc products, often featuring a signature white star emblem on the cap or leather goods, are among the most sought-after luxury brands in fine writing instruments. The star symbolizes the snow-capped summit of Mont Blanc, Europe's highest peak at 4,810 meters, a number frequently referenced in Montblanc's designs. Embodying the pristine snows of the Swiss Alps as its brand spirit, Montblanc represents the journey of successful individuals towards the pinnacle of achievement. In recent years, the brand has skillfully expanded into accessories, solidifying its position as a leader in men's luxury goods. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53648855790_e6bbc19e84_z.jpg ◤ Marcel Proust (July 10, 1871 – November 18, 1922) was a renowned French writer known for his stream-of-consciousness style. Born into a culturally rich family, Proust was introverted and highly sensitive. His deep attachment to his mother and his passion for literature laid the foundation for his future work. From his teenage years, Proust frequented high society, his extensive social interactions allowing him to keenly observe various strata of society. In his later years, due to declining health, he spent a significant period in self-imposed seclusion. It was only after the passing of his parents that he profoundly understood "happy days are days that are past," prompting him to begin writing his monumental work, *In Search of Lost Time*. Through involuntary associations, he brought the myriad details of bygone days back to life for the reader. Each character, each sensation within the book, evokes a profound sense of flowing authenticity. He completed this seven-volume magnum opus in the final years of his life, hailed as the most opulent legend in modern literary history, cementing Proust's status as one of the most important writers of the 20th century. ◤ Since 1992, Montblanc has released its Great Writers Series to honor historical literary giants. In 1999, this Proust pen was officially introduced as a tribute to this great 20th-century writer of Western literature. The pen's overall silhouette is fluid, classic, and elegant, primarily a combination of silver and black. The cap features a domed design, and the barrel is crafted from Ag925 sterling silver with an octagonal guilloché pattern, inscribed with Proust's signature. Beyond the inherent texture of sterling silver, its luster shifts subtly with the angle of light. The nib is engraved with a classic hourglass motif, symbolizing his seminal work, *In Search of Lost Time*. This fountain pen was produced in a limited global edition of 21,000 pieces. This particular pen is No. 13155 out of 21,000. ◤Year: Produced in 1999 ◤Material: Precious resin + Metal ◤Nib: 18K nib; M nib ◤Pen Size: 13 cm ◤Pen Weight: 38 g ◤Outer Box Size: 11 x 18 x 4.5 cm ◤Origin: Germany ◤Price: NT$120,000 / set ◤Quantity: This is the only set available.
