  THE MAN OF THE TIMES.

  Few creative figures have left such an indelible mark on popular culture as Walt Elias Disney. His unforgettable cartoon characters, optimistic storytelling and pioneering filmmaking have captured the minds and imaginations of adults and children alike. A lifelong innovator, he brought the on-screen entertainment into the real world with the opening of Disneyland Park in 1955.

  “I do not make films primarily for children. I make them for the child in all of us.” - Walt Disney

  Since his humble beginnings as a cartoon artist, Disney continuously challenged the creative status quo, pushing the boundaries of filmmaking and entertainment. The iconic Steamboat Willie brought us the beloved Mickey Mouse in 1928 and is recognised as an early example of an animation with synchronised sound. Lauded as a creative genius before turning 40, Disney was honoured with a total of 32 Academy Awards and 59 nominations – a record that remains unchallenged today.

  PIONEERING SPIRIT. REIMAGINED.

  Created in collaboration with The Walt Disney Company, the design of the Montblanc Great Characters Limited Edition Walt Disney™ is inspired by the famous monorail at Disneyland Park - the first daily operating monorail in the Western Hemisphere. The writing instrument's clip refers to the smokestack on the boat in Steamboat Willie, while the black, red and yellow colour combination and the Au585 solid gold rhodium-coated nib is a nod to Mickey Mouse. An exciting surprise can be found on the precious resin cap and barrel, decorated with a scanimation of the iconic character.

  The latest Montblanc Great Characters Edition Elvis Presley honours the life of the artist, whose live performances and style changed the face of pop music. Skilfully crafted by Montblanc artisans, the collection consists of writing instruments and accessories that pay tribute to key stages in Elvis’s career. 

  While Elvis’s music made many hearts beat faster, another one of his passions was luxury automobiles, their sleek tail fins and powerful V8 engines. That’s why the silhouette of each writing instrument refers to a spark plug. Elvis's quote “Ambition is a dream with a V8 engine” is embossed on the cone, and the V-shaped clip and its 8-hole design are reminiscent of the engine block.

  Elvis influenced music charts and redefined stage fashion. For the historic 1973 concert “Aloha from Hawaii” - the first live concert ever broadcast by satellite to 1.5 billion people across 40 countries - Elvis wore a white jumpsuit that attained an iconic status with its embroidered eagle glittering in the colours of the US flag. Now also celebrated in the design of Great Characters Elvis Presley Limited Edition 1935, the eagle crafted with hand-filled lacquered windows decorates the cap and his famous hit “Jailhouse Rock” is engraved on the gold nib. On the Great Characters Special Edition, the barrel of the writing instrument features the inscription "Elvis has left the building" - the famous words that informed ecstatic fans at the end of his live shows that there would be no more encores.
