Historical Background
Montblanc was founded in Hamburg in 1906 initially as the Simplo Filler Pen Company. The white six-pointed star cap emblem, said to represent the six glaciers on Mont Blanc, became the brand's registered trademark in 1913. Montblanc registered the star and the Meisterstuck design elements as three-dimensional trademarks. Richemont SA has owned Montblanc since 1977 and guards the mark aggressively against counterfeits.
