Montblanc’s Meisterstück Around the World in 80 Days collection draws inspiration from Jules Verne’s renowned adventure novel, following the extraordinary journey of Phileas Fogg and his loyal companion, Passepartout. The Meisterstück Solitaire Doué Classique ballpoint pen commemorates the final leg of their adventure, from Yokohama to London via the United States, where much of their journey across the American continent takes place by train. Combining polished dark blue precious lacquer with a platinum-coated metal cap, this distinctive Montblanc ballpoint pen brings the story to life through intricate detailing and timeless design.

A train is laser-engraved onto the cap, while a safety chain pattern on the cone recalls the dramatic moment when Passepartout detaches the train from the locomotive to protect the passengers during an attack by the Sioux. The cap features locomotive-inspired pressure valves and billowing smoke, capturing the movement and atmosphere of the journey. The platinum-coated clip is adorned with a red lacquered heart card suit, symbolising the union between Phileas Fogg and Princess Aouda, while the card suit motif also references Fogg’s daring wager to travel around the world in just 80 days. The cap top is engraved with the journey’s timeline, highlighting the 36-day final leg from Yokohama to London and its place within the wider adventure.
