Montblanc Great Characters Elvis Presley Special Edition fountain pen

Montblanc is dedicating its latest Great Characters Edition to the life and legacy of the musician whose famous live performances and extravagant outfits have fueled global music culture. Made from selected materials and fashioned by the highly skilled Montblanc craftsmen with great care and artistry. The collections pay tribute to important stages in Elvis's career: a special edition inspired by his 1968 “Special Comeback Concert” and a Limited Edition 1935 that references his time in Las Vegas.

The Montblanc Great Characters Elvis Presley Special Edition honors the King of Rock 'n
Roll in black precious resin - the color of the leather suit he wore for the famous 1968 NBC TV Special finished with platinum-plated fittings. When it aired on December 3, 1968, the Special was the most watched television program of the week and is considered a highlight of its career.

Four years later, Elvis made history with his concert "Aloha from Hawaii - via Satellite", the first live concert ever broadcast via satellite. The diamond-shaped texture on the barrel and cap is inspired by the eye-catching gold ring pattern that Elvis created for this show. The gold-plated clip evokes Elvis' love for V8s with its V-shape and 8-hole design, while the handmade rhodium-plated 14 kt. gold nib is engraved with the title of one of his many hit songs, 'Blue Suede Shoes'.
