This Writers Edition is an ode to Arthur Conan Doyle. He was the British writer that crafted the most famous character in the world of crime fiction, Sherlock Holmes.



Due to the grand success, Montblanc has combined all experts to design the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle collection. This line represents London and its dark foggy streets in which Holmes always resolves its cases.



Moreover, the pen's brown body is decorated with a plaid pattern that refers to Holmes' coat, but it also contains a historic map of the city of London. The color of the body refers to his brown smoking pipe.



Joseph Bell's initials are engraved under the PVD coated clip, who was the true inspiration for the creation of the famous literary character. The clip reflects his magnifying glass. As for the nib, it is made of Au750 solid gold and contains a special engraving of Sherlock Holmes with flying dinosaurs from "The Lost World". 



Each pen in the collection is handcrafted and therefore truly luxurious and unique. 

Robert Louis Stevenson, born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1850, had two great desires: for freedom and for the distraction of immersing himself in another world. He composed essays and travel accounts as well as his legendary adventure stories peopled with striking characters whose names send a shiver down the spines of readers around the world: Long John Silver, Captain Flint, Jekyll and Hyde. The Montblanc Writers Edition Homage to Robert Louis Stevenson is dedicated to this imaginative storyteller.

The novel “Treasure Island” inspired many design details of the edition. The overall shape of the writing instrument and the rings on the cone combine to create an impression of a historic, extendable spyglass.

The black precious resin barrel is decorated with engraved crosses, including a larger “X” like the one marking the location of the treasure on a map. Vertical lines that bring to mind the planks of the schooner “Hispaniola” and a traditional sea chest adorn the cap of the Writers Edition. Behind the platinum-coated clip, the lines converge in a compass rose, while the clip imitates the shape of a belaying pin, to which the lines of a ship’s rigging would be secured. The cap top is crowned by the Montblanc emblem emblazoned with the pirate’s symbol, a skull and crossbones, elevated at its centre. The cap ring is adorned with an engraving of Stevenson’s signature alongside the publication date of his first work “The Pentland Rising”, 1886. The years of Robert Louis Stevenson’s life, 1850-1894, are engraved on the cap. 

As a reference to Robert Louis Stevenson’s passion for seafaring and his re-settlement in the South Seas, the handcrafted solid Au 750 gold rhodium-coated nib is engraved with fine waves and the title given by the Samoans to the great writer and world traveller, “Tusitala”.
