Montblanc Special Edition Great Characters Miles Davis Rollerball
The Montblanc Great Characters Miles Davis Special Edition writing
instruments are inspired by one of the greatest musicians of the 20th
century. Miles Davis (May 26, 1926 – September 28, 1991) is regarded as
one of the most influential and acclaimed musicians in the history of
jazz and 20th century music. With his ever-changing directions in music,
Davis was at the forefront of a number of major stylistic developments
in jazz over his five-decade career.
Sharp and sleek like the music created by this icon of jazz, the
Montblanc Great Characters Miles Davis Special Edition features a cap
and barrel in precious black resin with its contrasting platinum-coated
fittings. The overall shape of the pen is inspired by the trumpet,
emphasized through the trumpet finger buttons on the clip. The shape of
the cone is inspired by the mouthpiece in the famous trumpet “Gustat”
Heim 2. The blue color of the cone reminds of Miles’ record “Kind of
blue”, regarded as the greatest jazz album of all times. The pattern on
the brass platinum-coated cap and barrel is inspired by 5 major
stylistic developments in jazz, which Miles Davis stands for. Also a
special engraving on the pen commemorates his induction into the Rock
and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006. Available in Fountain Pen, Rollerball and
Ballpoint Pen, this edition features the Montblanc emblem in classic
black and white precious resin.
Miles Davis was an innovator, defying traditional rules to create music
that would break down social and cultural boundaries at a time when the
world was changing. His new style of music would become a symbol of
strength amid oppression and segregation. With each of its creative
details, the Great Characters Edition tells the story of an
extraordinary man always searching for a new sound or style, a cultural
icon who would influence the course of 20th century music forever.
