Montblanc Writers Edition Friedrich Schiller

You’ve probably heard of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9, specifically its fourth movement, commonly known as “Ode to Joy”. The person who penned its words was Friedrich Schiller, the highly influential poet and playwright celebrated for his masterpiece “William Tell”. This drama is as inspirational as the lyrics he wrote, as it was the story of a legendary Swiss marksman who led the resistance against the Habsburg Empire. Its most famous scene is of the titular hero shooting an arrow off his son’s head. 

Marking Schiller’s continuous influence is the Montblanc Writers Edition Friedrich Schiller fountain pen introduced in 2000. It has a unique cap made of amber that beautifully contrasts against its barrel’s precious black resin and gold trims. Schiller’s signature is featured on one side of the clip, and a bow and arrow, William Tell’s weapon of choice, is etched on the 18-karat gold nib.
