2017 Writer's Edition: Antoine De Saint-Exupery

Two versions as Shakespeare and Tolstoy. Hope there is fleur de lis symbol somewhere on the pen.

As per the saga ongoing in another thread, mentioning pre-released pens is now allowed until Montblanc does themselves. I trust this week in particular will see a lot of members having troubles keeping a secret, but let's see how strong willed we can be

~ While waiting for official announcements and photographs pens already released provide pleasure.

Using what one has is often more satisfying than imagining what's to come.

The 2017 pens have a high standard to reach, given pens already released.

IWC, the watch maker part of the same group of companies Montblanc belongs to, have made several tribute pieces to this guy, who ever he is.

I was wondering the same thing. I read The Little Prince in 9th grade French class. I am sure it was introduced in English sometime in elementary but I must have missed it.

Yeah..! It's the Little freakin Prince! Read it in high school, also. My whole family is into that book, even my sister who only reads Chinese books. She might've even read a Chinese translation.

Really yes. The only way I've heard of him is through wondering why IWC keep spoiling the look of their watches with the references to him.

Let's see if Montblanc can do something pleasing.

~ What sort of design motif for Saint-Exupéry?

Aviation?

Aircraft wings? Propeller?

A prince's coronet?

I believe there is an event coming where MB will be showcasing their upcoming collection. Maybe one of us can let the rest of us know. I heard that the writers edition comes out in August.

I have been invited to such an event, but unaware if I'm allowed to discuss as per FPN rules - I'm still confused.....

how do you buy these limited editions?

I am eagerly looking forward to a very pretty pen.

The Little Prince is Saint-Exupery's masterpiece. And a very worthwhile read. Perhaps Montblanc will let themselves be inspired by the illustrations that the author created for his short novel.

I've been told that that pen will have a cap that looks like a hat. And when you take the cap off the pen will look like an elephant!

Too fancy I say. I truly believe the pen will look like a baobab.
