The company was successful despite its founder, Eberstein, fleeing to the US to avoid prosecution for stealing company funds in 1909. In 1934 the company changed its name to Montblanc-Simplo GmbH, and introduced its first piston filler.
Founded by the stationer Claus-Johannes Voss, the banker Alfred Nehemias and the engineer August Eberstein in 1906, the company began as the Simplo Filler Pen company producing up-market pens in the Schanzen district of Hamburg. Their first model was the Rouge Et Noir in 1909 followed in 1910 by the pen that was later to give the company its new name, the Mont Blanc. The first pen (a fountain pen) known as the Meisterstück or Masterpiece (the name used for export) was produced in 1925. Today the Montblanc Watches brand is on other goods besides pens, for instance watches.
The company was acquired by Dunhill in 1977, following which lower price pens were dropped and the brand was used on a wide range of luxury goods other than pens.
Montblanc's History
In 1906 the stationer Claus-Johannes Voss, the banker Alfred Nehemias and the engineer August Eberstein recognize the signs of a "modern" new century. Ingenuity and Imagination help the fountain pen to make its technical and commercial breakthrough as a writing instrument. The three decided to produce fountain pens, placing the cornerstones for the future internationally successful company Montblanc with this "Joint Venture".
1997 Montblanc attracts great attention and recognition among top international jewellers when it participates in the SIHH watch fair in Geneva for the very first time.
Today Montblanc forms part of the Richemont group. Its sister companies include luxury brands Montblanc Watches, Van Cleef & Arpels, Chloé, and Baume et Mercier. Since 2000, Montblanc has manufactured all the components for Montegrappa and Cartier branded pens.
