It has a torpedo shape and it was first introduced to the market in 1951. I also like it a lot because it's the biggest pen in the Montblanc fountain pen range, and it's very thick with about 13 millimeters at the grip. I find it's a great fountain pen to take notes and especially for signatures because you can untwist it with just one rotation and quickly sign it, and if you have a nib with a certain width, you get a really characteristic look that is very hard to fake or copy. 01:57 I really like the 149 for its large gold nib. Montblanc has excellent nibs that have the right amount of springiness without being too boring, very comfortable to write, and because they're made out of gold, they will easily adapt to your hand and to your writing and they will remain like that for years to come. 03:29 Something all Montblanc pens had since almost the beginning is the hexagonal white shape on top of a black background. It's supposed to resemble the snow on top of the Montblanc mountain in France which is the highest mountain, and they chose it because supposedly they wanted to represent the high quality and Montblanc pen was supposed to be the best in class. As you might notice, all Montblanc nibs have 4810 on it which is actually the height in meters of the Montblanc mountain. 04:58 Is the Montblanc Meisterstuck 149 Meisterstuck fountain pen worth its money? When I bought the Meisterstuck 149 10 to 15 years ago, I paid about a quarter of what I would have to pay today. So to me, that's a great investment even though if you consider inflation. Also, the Montblanc 149 is a very recognizable writing instrument, it's used by several heads of states around the club to sign certain things, it is made of a resin these days which is very scratch resistant and nice to the touch. So if you have large hands and you like a classic design that stands the test of time that will have a value that increases over time even though you use the pen, then it's definitely worth it. 07:30 Alright, now that you know the 149 is worth it, what about other Montblanc pens? No matter what Montblanc item you have, it will always be a recognizable status symbol no matter if it is gold, rose gold or platinum. If you are into calligraphy, there are probably other pens that you want to look into though. How does a Montblanc compare to Waterman? I prefer it any day! If that is too flashy for you, it's maybe not the right brand for you. Also, other Montblanc models have come and gone over time, but the one concept that has always been in their lineup is the 149. #isitworthit #montblancmeisterstück #notsponsored --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Want to stay updated?
