Montblanc’s campaign captures the essence of New York, often hailed as the city that never sleeps, through its focus on two distinct literary spaces. It features the iconic New York Public Library, celebrated for its vast and exceptional collection of books and maps, alongside the intimate setting of a modern West Village loft.

Marco Tomasetta, Montblanc’s Creative Director, eloquently describes stepping into the streets of New York as “diving into a sea of boundless energy and unbridled creativity.” He highlights the synergy between Montblanc’s pioneering mindset and the audacious, fearless thinking that drives New Yorkers.

Central to this campaign is Montblanc’s versatile Extreme 3.0 collection. Characterized by its striking pattern and bold M LOCK 4810 buckles, the collection perfectly embodies the campaign’s theme. The pieces, crafted with meticulous attention to detail, are designed to enhance everyday life, whether for work, sports, or urban exploration.

The distinctive pattern of the Extreme 3.0 collection draws inspiration from Montblanc’s rich archive and the formation of lines created using a Meisterstück fountain pen. Tomasetta shares his vision of creating continuity between these symbols, evoking the image of a fountain pen leaving its mark on leather.
