IN THE PANTHEON of luxury writing instruments, Montblanc stands as a colossus, synonymous with craftsmanship, tradition, and the indelible joy of writing. At the heart of its storied legacy is the Meisterstück, a fountain pen whose name means masterpiece in German. This year, as this iconic collection marks its centennial, Montblanc celebrates with a campaign that captures the essence of this iconic pen through the whimsical lens of acclaimed filmmaker Wes Anderson.
The Meisterstück first made its mark in 1924, designed not merely as a writing instrument, but also as a symbol of ultimate craftsmanship and luxury. Its distinctive design features — the sleek black resin body, the three gold rings and the handcrafted gold nib — are recognised worldwide. Over the decades, it has been the pen of choice for countless high-profile figures, from royal dignitaries to renowned authors (Anne Frank and Salman Rushdie, for example), who have favoured its smooth flow and elegant form.

August Men Of Tomorrow
In the age of independent thinking, our idea of leaders needs to evolve. Let us posit an alternative to traditional ideas of leaders: leadership is a choice, an act rather than a personality trait. We choose to do the difficult thing. We choose to bear responsibility when few would. You don't need the contrivances of power to be a leader. Instead, you can be a Community Developer at a gaming company, introducing small but vital initiatives to grow and engage with your community. You can be a DJ, moving the masses with music, making waves rather than demands. You can be a tattoo artist or the owner of a gallery, helping people discover their sense of self through art.Or you could fight for a better, kinder world for animals in Singapore.Here are the leaders of today. Here are the August Men of Tomorrow.
