Montblanc Meisterstück Romeo & Juliet Doué Midsize Ballpoint Pen MB132924

This edition from Montblanc is a 'tribute to love', commemorating the timeless love and poetic tragedy of literature’s iconic star-crossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet. The play’s most powerful themes – love, family rivalry and fate – are carefully distilled into each Meisterstück writing instrument using exquisite materials and symbolic details.

Written between 1591 and 1595, it was among Shakespeare’s most celebrated plays in his own lifetime, and continues to resonate through its intense portrayal of forbidden first love, and the conflict between personal desire and the forces that seek to restrain it. Romeo and Juliet’s lasting cultural influence is reflected in the countless adaptations it has inspired across stage, film, music, and opera. The story of the two lovers, who perish due to the enmity between their families, is to this day one of the most pertinent and moving literary works ever written. The Montblanc Meisterstück Romeo and Juliet collection is dedicated to this milestone in world literature.

Dedicated to Romeo, the barrel of the Doué Midsize Ballpoint is fashioned in teal-coloured precious resin to evoke the heavenly aura of the garden. On the platinum-coated cap, a delicate rose is depicted amidst a finely crafted leaf pattern. It signifies Juliet’s ardent hope that their love for one another will remain unsullied by their family heritage – just as the pure, bewitching scent of a rose endures forever. The cap top bears the initials “C” and “M”, entwined with thorn branches to symbolise the deep-rooted rivalry between the Capulet and the Montague families. At its centre, the red cap top stands as a unifying symbol of love in each edition.
