To mark the launch of the BMW 7 Series, Montblanc has created a collection of customized leather goods and writing instruments inspired by the spirit of innovation and the heritage of sophistication that unites the luxury Maison and the dynamic car maker. As BMW rewrites the future of the luxury automotive experience with its latest sedan, Montblanc brings an unrelenting passion for great craftsmanship and its flair for fine contemporary design and to this partnership, introducing sophisticated pieces blending some of its most iconic designs with details inspired by BMW.

 

With the new BMW 7 Series, BMW redefines the luxury driving experience with standout innovations in technology and a contemporary, pioneering approach to design. Ground-breaking technologies in the areas of lightweight design, powertrains, chassis, operating systems, intelligent connectivity and interior ambience underline the manufacturer’s mission to bring together unparalleled driving pleasure and long-distance comfort in a luxury sedan. Harmonious proportions and precise lines point to the assured dynamics and exclusive elegance of a new generation of a series at the top end of BMW’s model line-up that reveals a range of innovations unmatched by any other car makers.

Leather Collection – handcrafted in Montblanc Pelletteria

Central to the collection, the bespoke Meisterstück Car Key Sleeve has been specially moulded to fit the uniquely informative and innovative BMW Display Key. With its intuitively operated touch display, this new generation car key delivers important information on the car’s status to

the driver, from fuel in the tank to battery charge level, and can be used to remotely park the car

forwards and backwards while the driver is outside of the vehicle. The sleeve not only protects BMW’s latest technology breakthrough, but also enhances the owner’s close relationship with the car by providing a refined accessory for the car key.

 

Underscoring BMW and Montblanc’s shared pursuit of refinement, quality and performance, each piece from the leather collection handcrafted in the Montblanc Pelletteria, the leather goods manufacture, in Florence, masterfully balances form and function. The timelessly elegant aesthetics of the Meisterstück leather collection are enhanced with the unique BMW 7 Series pattern embossed on each piece, and feature the Montblanc emblem at the centre of a palladium-coated ring. Crafted from soft Italian calf leather in a shiny black, the leather pieces are enhanced with Jacquard lining for an added touch of sophistication. With the greatest attention to detail, the Meisterstück Business Card Holder, Meisterstück Pen Pouch, and Meisterstück Passport Holder have been designed as perfect fine lifetime companions for the business executive or world traveller.

 

Performance, comfort and functionality come together in the design of the Montblanc Nightflight Document Case and the Nightflight Duffel Bag, pieces built to meet the needs of today’s urban explorers, who live a fast-paced life on-the-go.  Made of nylon with leather trimmings, and resistant to stains, water and scratches, the Document Case and Duffle Bag feature special compartments for smart storage and comfortable leather straps, jacquard lining with Montblanc and a luggage tag embossed with both the Maisons’ names.

 

Montblanc icon as part of the collection

Montblanc’s icon, the Montblanc Meisterstück with its distinctive barrel and cap in black precious resin and contrasting platinum-plated fittings has been given a unique BMW treatment. The clip of the Platinum Line LeGrand Fountain Pen and Meisterstück Platinum Line LeGrand Rollerball are laser-engraved with the BMW “7” pattern as a reference to the latest innovation by the luxury car manufacturer. Enhancing the writing experience through cutting-edge design, Montblanc brings one of its latest innovations to the fountain pen, the handcrafted Au585 gold Montblanc M nib with rhodium-plated inlay for an enhanced writing experience, as smooth as the sensation of driving a BMW around curves.

 

With elegance and refinement, Montblanc lends its cutting-edge approach to design and performance to a portfolio of quality luxury pieces, bringing forward over 100 years of craftsmanship to its partnership with BMW. Functional pieces elegantly enhanced with references to a new chapter in automotive innovation. Delving into their rich heritage, both Montblanc and BMW redefine the luxury driving experience.
