Montblanc was founded in 1906 (named Simplo Filler Pen) with the introductory product offered in 1909 under the name Rouge et Noir in 1909. One year later the first pen named Montblanc emerged. Montblanc’s Meisterstück brand (Masterpiece) first appeared in 1924, for the premium fountain pen versions.

Notable Montblanc watch models include the Montblanc Nicolas Rieussec, Montblanc Star, Montblanc Star Classique, Montblanc Star 4810, Montblanc Timewalker, Montblanc Flyback, Montblanc Meisterstueck.
