Wes Anderson for Montblanc. Supplied

If you’ve ever wanted to write like a character in a Wes Anderson film – or at least look like one while journaling your musings at a Parisian café – Montblanc just dropped your next obsession. The German luxury Maison has teamed up with the king of symmetrical cinema himself to launch the Schreiberling Limited Edition 1969 – a pint-sized pen that packs a full reel of storytelling charm into a single stroke. Inspired by Montblanc’s archive of early 20th-century “baby” pens, this compact writing instrument is a vivid homage to the golden age of handwriting and handcrafted narrative. Decked out in Anderson-approved shades of green, yellow, and coral, the pen arrives in a tin box that looks like it belongs in The Grand Budapest Hotel‘s props department.

More than a prop, though, this is a collector’s dream for cinephiles and connoisseurs of fine writing alike. First teased in Anderson’s 100 Years of Meisterstück short film, the Schreiberling is limited to – what else – 1,969 pieces, a nod to the director’s birth year. Inside its whimsical tin, you’ll find everything you need to scribble with style: green ink cartridges, a coral-lined notebook, and a ruler for precision. With platinum-coated fittings and the Montblanc emblem perched on a coral resin cap, this mini masterpiece isn’t just a pen – it’s a plot device in the story of your life. Or at least your next expense report. Either way, it’s storytelling – one signature at a time.

Available now in Montblanc boutiques and online.
