Montblanc takes its centenary celebration to New York with Paul Anthony Kelly. The buzz-worthy star fronts a campaign for the brand’s Writing Traveler briefcase. Instead of the suit-and-tie uniform that once defined the briefcase, the 37-year-old actor adopts smart casual style in a linen shirt and relaxed trousers. The everyday proposition is especially apt with Kelly, whose recent portrayal of John F. Kennedy Jr. connects him to another generation of casually dressed New York men.

Inside, the Writing Traveler has compartments for writing instruments, a notebook, watch, and other daily essentials. Pairing a functional design with an off-duty aesthetic, the accessory escapes corporate dress codes and becomes more about the man carrying it.
