Hidden for Decades: Two Delta Classics Return From the Archives
More than 20 years after their original release, two of Delta’s most sought-after limited editions have resurfaced in the most unexpected place: the brand’s own archives.

Mistakes That Slowly Ruin Your Fountain Pens
A good friend of mine just confessed that she’d inherited a few Montblanc fountain pens that once belonged to her grandfather. “I’ve just inked them, and they write buttery smooth.

Montegrappa Continues Its 007 Series with A View to a Kill
Montegrappa is back with another chapter in its James Bond series, and, design-wise, this seems to be one of the coolest entries yet.

It might be a memory, an observation, or a passing idea waiting to be explored. As words fill the page, that first…
Is the New Montblanc StarWalker Extreme the Coolest StarWalker in Years?
Montblanc has introduced a new design to the StarWalker series, which turns 23 years old this year. The new interpretation may look familiar – especially to those who already know the leather goods from the Hamburg-based brand – as it takes design cues from the Extreme leather collection, hence the name.

Jean-Claude Biver, Ronnie Kessel & Samuel Naldi: In Conversation
It’s not every day you get three of the biggest names in their fields sitting down together to talk about the same values, sharing their vision, wisdom, and passion. But that’s exactly what happened on June 25 in Zug, Switzerland, where I attended a special press conference hosted by Writing Culture, alongside Swiss journalists from…
