The exclusive event which was held recently at The Penthouse, Providus Bank, Victoria Island, paid homage to ‘The Great Gatsby’, highlighting Montblanc’s mastery of craftsmanship and its dedication to blending history with artistry.

A statement on Thursday revealed that the gathering brought together collectors, opinion leaders, and friends of the brand to experience Montblanc’s latest addition to its portfolio of high-artistry writing instruments.

The collection, inspired by F. Scott Fitzgerald’s iconic novel, reflects the ambition and elegance of the Jazz age, combining the glamour of the Roaring Twenties with Montblanc’s tradition of sophistication.
