Please share on your social media

The 2025 Montblanc Writers Edition honours Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. The design is part of Montblanc’s annual tribute to important literary figures and gives collectors a recognisable writing instrument associated with the author.

About the author

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832) was a German poet, playwright and novelist whose works include Faust and The Sorrows of Young Werther. His interests also extended to natural science and art.

Pen design and identification

The 2025 collection draws on Goethe’s literary and scientific interests, with botanical references including a leaf-inspired clip. More exclusive versions incorporate further imagery connected with Faust.

Because the collection includes multiple editions, confirm the exact model before comparing materials or prices.

Versions and collecting notes

Ask for photographs of the clip, nib and any numbered edition markings, and do not assume that features of the rarest versions occur on every pen.

Before purchasing, check the writing mechanism, condition of the resin or metalwork, nib where applicable, and the presence of the original presentation box and papers. Fountain pen, ballpoint and rollerball prices should be compared separately; avoid assuming every version was produced in the same quantity.
