This special edition Meisterstück ballpoint pen from Montblanc is inspired by the famous literature work by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Le Petit Prince. The French book was published in 1943 and is currently known as one of the most translated books in the world.
The work tells the story of a meeting between a pilot and the young prins. The prins lives on planet asteroid B 612, on which only one rose blooms, protected by a glass shield. For the Montblanc Le Petit Prince and Planet, the rose is a symbol for our earth. Humankind only has one earth, and therefore the philosophical relationship between nature and the environment reflect the importance of our existence on this planet. Thus, this pen makes us remember the earth's worth and translates the the message that one should cherish our earth.
“The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or touched, they are felt with the heart.”
– Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Le Petit Prince
The body of the pen consists of stained wood in the colour burgundy. The cap is decorated with stars, and contains the name of the planet, asteroid B 612. Furthermore, the clip is completed with a yellow star.
This pen is a longterm and unique piece of art. For every generation that the pan is passed on, the new recipient experiences the philosophy and lessons of previous generations. For this reason, the pen becomes a special instrument of which the message, inspired by the literature work, will forever exist.
