Style Meets Statement: Montblanc Ultrablack

tribute to its heritage while celebrating the attributes associated with the
Maison’s central colour – style, elegance and the simplicity of timeless design.
Black is the absolute of all colours, statement of infinite beauty and exceptional design in luxury. It has also been part of Montblanc’s DNA since the Maison’s inception on 1906, with ebonite as the main ingredient in the production of Montblanc’s original writing instruments, and one of only two colours in the company’s emblem, created in 1913. In its ongoing mission to inspire people to express their full potential by doing what truly moves them, Montblanc is introducing Montblanc Ultrablack, its first ever complete cross-category collection united by an all-black design theme.
A celebration of the modernity of its most recognizable colour, the collection brings together with simplicity and timeless elegance multiple product categories from leather goods to writing instruments, from watches to new smart technologies. An audacious expression of sophisticated, modern style, each piece was created to inspire those seeking flexibility, versatility and style as they travel their own personal journey to reaching their goals, on their own terms.
“Black is the Maison’s essence, and is core to the brand’s identity, even as it evolved over the years to become the Maison of Luxury Business Lifestyle. The pieces and their functionality, while unified by their black design, were carefully selected based on the everyday needs and mindset of those who don’t just strive to succeed, but who leave a mark with everything they do, always with meaning and purpose. Montblanc Ultrablack offers smart wearable technology for enhanced connectivity, leather pieces for seamless mobility, writing instruments for bold ideas and creativity, watches for audacious elegance,” says Nicolas Baretzki, Montblanc CEO.
