Les Montparnasse de S.T. Dupont is one of the most elegant and precious collection with its sleek design writing instruments (fountain pen, rollerball and ballpoint pen). The pens are similar to the famous “Chairman” model, in a different colour and finish.
Around 1989, S.T. Dupont launched one of its most successful pens, the large to extra-large Montparnasse range, which remained their flagship model until the introduction of the Olympio range. Similar to previous models, the Montparnasse came in several types of finish over its solid brass body: precious metals guillochè and Chinese lacquered.
The tortoiseshell lacquer finish ranks high on the list of Montparnasse lacquer pens. This vintage S.T. Dupont Montparnasse edition is a beautiful mixture of light and dark marbled brown “Ecaille” lacquer with gold plated trim. The S.T. Dupont Montparnasse fountain pen has 18K gold nib, Cartridge/Converter filling system.
Since the section of the writing instruments are internal, S.T. Dupont devised a specially designed swing out handle that sits on the base of the barrel and allows for the section to be unscrewed from the barrel – once again, an inspiration from their lighter range. To remove the barrel, the handle must be opened and rotated to loosen or open it, and the same when securing the barrel back to the section.
The S.T. Dupont Montparnasse series went out of production by the end of 1994.
