FAQs

What type of ink system does this pen use?

This is a rollerball pen that uses Montblanc's rollerball ink refills.

How do I clean the precious resin barrel?

Clean the barrel with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For tougher marks, use a slightly damp cloth and dry thoroughly.

Where can I purchase replacement refills?

Replacement Montblanc rollerball refills can be purchased from authorized Montblanc retailers or reputable online stationery stores.

Is the "Around the World in 80 Days" theme present on all parts of the pen?

Yes, the theme is intricately detailed across the cap, cone, and clip, with the barrel and cap top also featuring thematic elements like resin color and embossed timelines.

What is the significance of the red lacquered heart on the clip?

The red lacquered heart symbolizes the union between Phileas Fogg and Princess Aouda, and also represents the card suits that are integral to Fogg's wager.

How does the LeGrand size compare to other Montblanc pens?

The LeGrand size is Montblanc's classic, larger pen size, offering a substantial feel in hand, larger than the Classique size but smaller than the Heritage or Meisterstück ultra-size pens.

Troubleshooting

Pen is not writing or ink flow is inconsistent.

Ensure the correct Montblanc rollerball refill is properly seated. Scribble gently on a notepad to restart ink flow. If the issue persists, try replacing the refill.

Ink smudging on the page.

Allow the ink a moment to dry before touching the written text. Ensure you are using a genuine Montblanc refill, as third-party refills may have different drying times.

Cap is difficult to remove or attach.

Ensure the cap is aligned correctly before attempting to remove or attach it. If it feels stiff, check for any debris around the pen barrel or cap rim. Do not force it.
