The History of Montblanc
Before Montblanc eyewear became a favorite of the intellectually inclined, it went through a series of changes that led it to become the respected brand it is today.
This is the history of Montblanc.
Originally a German pen manufacturer, Simplizissiumus-Füllhalter was founded in 1906 by Alfred Nehemias and August Eberstein. The company was eventually taken over by Wilhelm Dziambor, Christian Lausen, and Claus Johannes Voss in 1909 with the goal to expand the business into luxury goods. Hoping to set standards as high as the mountains that inspired the company name, Montblanc’s trademark was registered in 1910.
In 1913, the company’s rounded white star logo was created in order to represent the snowy peak of Mont Blanc. Several impactful pen releases followed, such as the Meisterstück and Montblanc fountain pen, both of which elevated the company’s status to that of an industry leader. By the 1920s, the brand became a top-seller in over 60 countries, and by the end of WWII, it had cemented itself as a luxury goods dealer that was here to stay.
For decades to come, Montblanc has had incredible success in the world of writing instruments, helping the brand gain international recognition as a quality manufacturer of precision tools. When the brand expanded into different product categories, it brought this same kind of focus on craftsmanship into each new line. Whether selling all sorts of high-end pens, handbags, watches, or their eyewear featured on Designer Eyes, or any of our boutiques, the brand’s loyalty to fine-tuned workmanship is as alive and vibrant as its ever been.
