NEW: Visconti Van Gogh: Pollard Willow


Another masterpiece by Visconti inspired by the work of Vincent van Gogh, this pen represents his famous painting "Pollard Willow". Set in The Hague (near his home), he wanted to use the dead pollard willow beneath a threatening sky to create a somber landscape.


The pen (available in ballpoint, rollerball, and fountain) is made of natural resin with the fountain pen featuring a steel nib (converter included also). The Visconti Van Gogh: Pollard Willow is now available exclusively at CHARALS in Vancouver at 171 Robson Street. Call 604-974-9497 or email info@charals.com to reserve.

Introducing: The Montblanc Heritage Rouge et Noir Collection




The Montblanc Heritage Collection captures the vision and pioneering spirit characteristic of Montblanc from its earliest history. The Collection celebrates a rich inheritance in historic design, an ongoing spirit of invention and a devotion to perfectly executed details – a philosophy that continues to shape Montblanc craftsmanship today. One of the first fountain pens created by Montblanc according to these principles provides the inspiration for the Rouge et Noir Limited Edition 1906.


When it was developed in 1906, the ‘Rouge et Noir’ fountain pen was considered an outstanding technical achievement, ensuring simple operation without the need for dipping the nib into an inkwell. Limited to 1,906 pieces, the Rouge et Noir Limited Edition 1906 celebrates the 110-year-old pioneering spirit of Montblanc. Reinterpreting the legendary writing instrument, it features a longer, slimmer silhouette, modern piston filler technology and craftsmanship refined over generations. The cap and barrel are made of traditional black hard rubber, the same material used for the first Montblanc fountain pens made in the early 20th century, and the cap top in coral and ivory resin is crowned by the Montblanc emblem.



The Montblanc Heritage Rouge et Noir Collection is now available at CHARALS. Call 1.800.811.7333 or email info@charals.com to reserve today.
