Montblanc – Writers Edition: Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Description

Montblanc limited series scheduled for July/August 2017 dedicated to Saint-Exupéry, writer of The Little Prince.
The design and shape of him are inspired by his legendary Caudron Simoun aircraft and his famous novel Night Flight. The engravings on the body and cap depict the sky observed by Saint-Exupéry on November 1, 1929 at 11pm. As director of the new company Aeroposta Argentina S.A., Antoine de Saint-Exupéry made Aeroposta’s inaugural flight on November 1, 1929, flying from an airfield at Villa Harding Green to Comodoro Rivadavia. The details are inspired by the cockpit of his plane. The geographical positions of important cities in the life of Saint-Exupéry are engraved on the cone. The nib recalls his most famous novel, The Little Prince.
