Wes Anderson and Montblanc have reunited for a Montblanc collaboration that is as charming and precise as one of Anderson’s meticulously composed film sets. Their latest joint effort, the SCHREIBERLING Limited Edition 1969, is a writing instrument that blurs the line between collectible object and cinematic prop. This Montblanc collaboration is more than a product launch—it’s a celebration of storytelling, nostalgia, and style.
Limited to exactly 1,969 pieces—a deliberate nod to Anderson’s birth year—the SCHREIBERLING is a standout in the Montblanc collaboration series. It features a solid gold nib engraved with one of the director’s own whimsical doodles, merging personal artistry with timeless craftsmanship. The pen’s packaging takes cues from Anderson’s filmic world: a green-and-coral case inspired by vintage tin toolboxes, housing the pen along with a notebook, ruler, and green ink cartridges. The whole ensemble feels like it belongs in one of his sets.
This Montblanc collaboration builds on last year’s successful short film 100 Years of Meisterstück, which Anderson created to honor Montblanc’s centennial. During that project, the director quietly began designing a pen inspired by Montblanc’s archival “baby” models from the early 20th century. When he eventually presented the SCHREIBERLING prototype—playfully named after the German word for “scribbler”—Montblanc embraced the idea with enthusiasm. The result? A Montblanc collaboration that fuses the brand’s heritage with Anderson’s distinct visual signature.
Launching alongside the premiere of Anderson’s latest film, The Phoenician Scheme, the SCHREIBERLING offers more than utility—it delivers an experience. This Montblanc collaboration captures the idea that every story, whether written or filmed, deserves to begin in style. For Wes Anderson, the SCHREIBERLING is the perfect tool to set that story in motion.
