Montblanc dedicated its limited series Meisterstück to a cultural icon: director, producer, professor, and writer Shelton Jackson “Spike” Lee. The design of the series reflects the characteristic style of the American film director, while the ad campaign showcases his life: from his childhood on the streets of Brooklyn to his career as a star director and storytelling master.
The Meisterstück 146 fountain pen, first introduced in 1924, is a symbol of the timeless writing traditions preserved by Montblanc. Meisterstück Spike Lee Special Edition, existing in just 500 copies, is made from precious black resin and includes an image of Spike Lee’s glasses-covered eyes. The image is presented in purple – the favourite colour of the director. The handmade 14К gold nib incorporates Spike Lee’s signature. The Meisterstück limited series includes a fountain pen, a leather-bound notebook, and special purple ink.
As Montblanc CEO Nicolas Baretzki explains, “Spike Lee writes everything by hand. He believes in the vital power of writing and places it at the center of his creative process. The unity of vision makes the new Montblanc series truly special.”
The creator’s oeuvres include more than 35 films, including BlacKkKlansaman and Malcolm X. The life story of the director is presented in the Montblanc ad campaign What Moves You, Makes You. The global campaign inspires people to express their full potential on their own terms, and celebrates those who have found their original path to rewriting the codes of success. For the screenwriter who writes all his scripts by hand, the focus is on his career as a storyteller. As we hear him writing the script, we see flashbacks of what inspired his burning passion for writing and filmmaking: the city of Brooklyn, the people of Brooklyn, his family, films, and personal experiences. His story inspires others to pursue what they’re passionate about by highlighting the incredible legacy of someone who followed their passion from an early age.
“I like to write. Pen and paper. I don’t type. My brain is wired in such a way that typing on a keyboard is plain useless. It destroys the creative flow.” – Spike Lee.
Montblanc Meisterstück Spike Lee Special Edition will be available at Montblanc boutiques in mid-July, 2021.
