Inspiration

Drawing inspiration from the novel and Stoker's life, the collection explores the meeting point between mythology and science. Throughout both editions, references to Victorian medicine, theatre, and the world of Dracula are translated into materials, engravings, and sculptural details.

The Editions

Montblanc Writers Edition Limited Edition

The Writers Edition Limited Edition captures the tense moment after a vampire's bite, when good and evil fight for dominance. The body of the pen is crafted from precious resin in a marbled red and black finish, inspired by the mixing of blood and dark poison after a vampire's bite, before science ultimately steps in to save the victim's life.question, as depicted in Dracula.

The cap is engraved with Bram Stoker's signature, while two small marks above the clip reference a vampire's bite. The clip itself also takes inspiration from historical Montblanc designs. The fountain pen is fitted with a solid 18k gold nib engraved with elements from the Stoker family coat of arms.

Montblanc Writers Edition Limited Edition 1897

Limited to 1,897 pieces, this edition takes its number from the year Dracula was first published. Its design focuses on Count Dracula's ability to transform into a bat. The sculpted cap and barrel resemble folded wings, recalling the mysterious nature of the character. As light moves across the surface, a dramatic interplay of light and shadow emerges.
