Now this is writing with a
purpose. Montblanc and
Newson partnered to come up
with red editions of the iconic
Montblanc M.
The (Montblanc M) RED
collection was designed to assist
in the fight against HIV and AIDS.
For every item purchased from
the collection, a portion goes to
the Global Fund to support HIV/
AIDS programs.
Crafted in red resin, the pen
features a simple yet elegant
shape, including a flat section
on the barrel (the “plateau”),
a magnetic cap closing that
perfectly aligns the clip and
plateau when affixing the cap
to the barrel, a platinum-plated
clip with individual serial number,
and a Montblanc emblem in
white resin.
Swiss luxury watch and clock
manufacturer Jaeger-LeCoultre
and Newson first worked together
on an Atmos clock back in 2008.
Their latest work, which came out
in 2016, is the Atmos 568, a clock
housed in a beautiful Baccarat
crystal with a movement
powered by temperature and
atmospheric pressure changes in
the environment.
The Atmos 568’s glass dial is
easy to read thanks to large blue
transferred Arabic numerals
and blue hands with brushed
stainless steel counterweights.
