Transit at Frankfurt... couldn't resist buying this....

Apr 19, 2014,02:44 AM
 

As a birthday gift for myself smile The Meisterstuck heritage watches are not out yet. I am aiming for the perpetual calendar. 


Meanwhile here's something to curb my urge on the watch... I got the 90th Anniversary fountain pen first at the Frankfurt airport Montblanc boutique. My first fountain pen! 3rd pen from Montblanc though (the other 2 are roller balls). The warmth of the rose gold on this special 90th anniversary Meisterstuck pen is amazing! Finally I have a rose gold pen to go along with my rose gold watches. smile

Some pictures in the airport lounge. Montblanc pens, watches and leather goods really go very well together! They even have a special 90th Anniversary Meisterstuck bag for the pen! Happy man today. Love watches and pens. Guess I am still like a kid buying a toy even though I will be 36 tomorrow!

Cheers
 Robin

And Happy Birthday. Wonder what your wife's reaction would have been if you'd bought another watch ! With the fountain pen, you can say it is for work ! Glad to see some people keeping the skill alive. Most people these days only use a pen to sign forms o... 

I haven't seen any Montblanc cakes before..

But definitely am very happy with my new Meisterstuck fountain pen. Love the 90th anniversary engraving on the nib and the rose gold warmth on the pen is really something that draws me. Yes my wife will kill me if she knows I got another watch so soon! At... 

What?

I am sure you have had a Montblanc cake before. Almost every cake shop in Asia has them! Made with chestnut paste to resemble the mountain. If you haven't, you should, with a cup of Ceylon tea and one of your watches Dean ...  

Hahaha! nice Montblanc cupcakes indeed!

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : April 22nd, 2014-00:54
Nice one Dean. :) Yes I will have one of these with my Montblanc watch and pen :) Cheers Robin

My wife too

Robin, My wife only knows about half of my Montblanc collection. The other half is in secret...

Please teach us your tricks Todd!

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : April 22nd, 2014-00:56
You have so many Montblanc watches and pens and leather goods etc. How did you manage to hide half of them from your wife?! :) This warrants a brand new thread, maybe in the Home forum for all Purists to learn from you :p Cheers Robin

Congratulations Robin..

This pen is so beautiful. It is one of the most elegant and famous pen from Montblanc.i also have the same pen but not the anniversary version. Regarding your brilliant idea on getting yourself a birthday gift, well I also did the same thing but not only ... 

I wish I can buy gifts for myself more often! :)

If money and time are not limited! Thank you for your kind words WTA! I know your love for Montblanc products. You are a bigger fan than me! :) Cheers Robin

Thank you Richard!

For your kind words as always Cheers Robin

Happy Birthday!

Not a bad idea at all! As long as it's a Montblanc, why not? Nice fountain pen! Regards, Constantin

Yes indeed Montblanc makes some of the best

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : April 21st, 2014-02:26
Pens in the world. And they are so aggressive in their watch category that they can only get better in my view. I actually started with their pens first but wasn't serious about collecting Montblanc stuff. But once I got my Montblanc Villeret, I somehow g... 

Happy Birthday...

It is always better to treat yourself :-) Hope you have a safe trip home. Cheers, Mike

Thanks Mike!

Couldn't meet you in person this time. My next trip to New York I will plan for 2 weeks with a weekend so maybe I can visit you in your home city :) Had a good flight home and arrived Sun morning Singapore time but still very jetlagged now! :) Thank you f... 

Ah! I know this. Airport. Duty free shops.

Dangerous places. Because that's the kind of place where I got my Montblanc watch as well. Haha! Congratulations to you on acquiring such a beautiful writing instrument. Montblanc do know how to lure a gentleman's heart. ^_^

Totally agree with you Luis!

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : April 21st, 2014-02:39
Montblanc is an EXPERT in luring gentlemens' hearts indeed! Even though I got a Montblanc pen, wallet and bag first, it was my Montblanc Villeret watch that cemented my love for the brand and their products. The rest of their products I adore but I am mos... 

Happy Birthday, Robin!

A classic pen. I love a fountain pen for drawing. Enjoy!

I am bad at writing and drawing...

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : April 21st, 2014-02:40
Am struggling with the fountain pen but I will learn to improve :) Thank you for your well wishes my friend Cheers Robin

Meisterstuck!

I hear you Robin...I already have two Montblanc key rings and two bracelets however I recently saw one of each line at the Scottsdale boutique that I will have in my possession before too long. Todd

Nice Montblanc accessories you have!

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : April 22nd, 2014-00:57
They go very well with their pens and watches. Indeed as Luis said, Montblanc sure knows how to capture a gentleman's heart. Can't blame you for wanting more Montblanc accessories so soon! :) Cheers Robin

Thank you Stefan!

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : April 22nd, 2014-20:05
We should meet up soon. It's been a while :) I still need to consult the JLC master :) Cheers Robin

Happy Belated Birthday Robin!!

I missed your post earlier and just saw it now. Enjoy the Rose Gold Meisterstuck as it is a beauty !! Have you written with it yet ??? How does it write ?? Mine is still unopened and awaiting for the right document to sign. Cheers, Gordon

I finally understood why the Montblanc Meisterstuck 149 fountain pen

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : May 19th, 2014-04:55
Is such an icon! It writes beautifully! I have 2 other MB pens before but they are roller balls as I thought fountain pens were old school but now I am hooked to my 90th anniversary MB Meisterstuck 149 in rose gold trim. I love the 18k gold nib and how it...
