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 fountain pen celebrates 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 dark blue precious lacquer with a platinum-coated metal cap, this distinctive Montblanc fountain pen brings the story to life through intricate detailing and exceptional craftsmanship.

A train is laser-engraved onto the cap, while the 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. Locomotive-inspired pressure valves and billowing smoke further capture the spirit of the journey. The platinum-coated clip features a red lacquered heart card suit, symbolising the romance between Phileas Fogg and Princess Aouda, while the card suit motif also references Fogg’s daring wager to travel around the world in 80 days. The cap top is engraved with “36 Days”, representing the final stage of the journey from Yokohama to London. Completing the design, the hand-crafted 18K gold nib features the dates 14/11 and 21/12, commemorating Fogg’s departure from Yokohama and his planned return to London to win the wager. A hot-air balloon engraving adds another literary detail inspired by Jules Verne’s adventure stories.
