Greta Garbo – in honour of a charismatic, glamorous personality

Montblancs first Special Edition for the elegant woman is modish and sensual and dedicated to the legendary film actress Greta Garbo on the occasion of her 100th birthday.

In its elegant but individual design, the exclusive Special Edition Greta Garbo reflects the beauty and independent nature of the great Hollywood star. Graceful writing instruments in three different designs, from noble to glamorous, continue the myth of Greta Garbo.

Homage to Greta Garbo – the great prima donna of film history

Greta Garbo, known as "The Divine", enthralled her public with her charisma and her dark, unmistakable voice. In only a few years, the Swedish actress became an acclaimed world star with films like "Anna Karenina", "Mata Hari" and "Grand Hotel". Her natural beauty and her cool, inaccessible manner made her one of the most coveted and mysterious women of the 20th century. When only 36 she said goodbye to the silver screen for ever and so became a myth which has made her unforgotten until today.

Three different models reflect the charisma of the great film prima donna. The Greta Garbo Special Edition shows a stunning contrast with a cream-coloured cap which curves slightly inwards and which in its elegant line is harmoniously complemented in the jet-black body.With Greta Garbo, the first Edition especially developed for the female target group, the Montblanc brand is expressing its respect for an important woman whose radiance reached far beyond the glamorous world of Hollywood. Her style, her demeanour and her actions showed the self-confidence of a modern and imperturbable personality who set her own standards. Greta Garbo, born 100 years ago on 18 September 1905, inspired Montblanc to capture the aura of this unique woman and express it by means of a Special Edition dedicated to her.

Three different models reflect the charisma of the great film prima donna. The Greta Garbo Special Edition shows a stunning contrast with a cream-coloured cap which curves slightly inwards and which in its elegant line is harmoniously complemented in the jet-black body. An eye-catching feature of this variant, as with all others of the Special Edition, is the individual design of the handmade 18-carat gold nib as well as the extravagant clip, embellished with a white Akoya pearl. In addition, all three cartridge fountain pens - as also the ballpoint pen, which is only available in the Greta Garbo Special Edition - bear Greta Garbo´s engraved signature as a reference to the legendary eponym.

Greta Garbo 1905 Commemoration Edition

The Greta Garbo 1905 Commemoration Edition honours the internationally celebrated film beauty´s year of birth: a model with a rather longer body, completely in black and sterling silver. Especially the design of the cap reflects the strong character of the actress: the contours are straight, the black rectangular lacquer inlays suggestive, the clip-ring - studded with 16 diamonds - radiant. The crowning feature of the fountain pens in this Edition, the number of which is strictly limited to 1905, is a mother-of-pearl inlay on the flattened cap top - the legendary Montblanc star.
