THE NEW MEISTERSTÜCK EMBARKS ON AN UNFORGETTABLE JOURNEY | | BRINGING TO LIFE JULES VERNE’S AROUND THE WORLD IN EIGHTY DAYS Fascinated by the evolving transport possibilities of the Victorian era, Jules Verne wrote Around the World in Eighty Days in 1872, and it was translated into English in 1973. In the novel, Phileas Fogg bets his entire fortune that he can depart from London by train at 8.45 pm on 2 October, travel the world via Suez, Bombay, Hong Kong, Yokohama, San Francisco, New York, and finish in the same place, at the same time, on 21 December. Jumping from steamers to trains – and at one point, an elephant – Fogg proves that almost anything is possible when one’s mind is set on something. To celebrate the pioneering spirit of Phileas Fogg, Montblanc presents the new Montblanc Meisterstück Around The World in 80 Days collection, comprising of the LeGrande & Classique, Doué and Solitaire editions. - DISCOVER THE COLLECTION - | | Embark on an unforgettable journey. | | | Around The World in 80 Days Solitaire LeGrand Fountain Pen £1605.00 | | Around The World in 80 Days Doue Classique Ballpoint Pen £735.00 | | | Around The World in 80 Days Classique Ballpoint Pen £425.00 | | Around The World in 80 Days LeGrand Fountain Pen £760.00 | | | Around The World in 80 Days Classique Rollerball Pen £515.00 | | Around The World in 80 Days 146 Lined Notebook £70.00 | | “There are no impossible obstacles; there are just stronger and weaker wills, that’s all!” | | PHILEAS FOGG: A TRUE MARK MAKER OF THE VICTORIAN ERA The new Meisterstück Around The World in 80 Days Le Grand & Classique brings to life the fantastical story of Phileas Fogg’s world circumnavigation. Reflecting Fogg’s journey across vast stretches of water by steamboat, the cap and barrel are made of blue precious resin with an engraved wave pattern. Fogg’s favourite pastime while aboard the steamboats, playing Whist, is also memorialised by the decorative card suit symbols. | | | | |
