Montblanc Great Characters Fountain Pen Muhammad Ali Limited Edition 98

The Great Characters Muhammad Ali Limited Edition 98 fountain pen is a unique collectible piece that pays tribute to one of the most influential and committed athletes of the 20th century, the three-time heavyweight champion, Muhammad Ali. This pen, which is part of the Montblanc Great Characters 2023 collection, is a symbol of luxury and excellence, reflecting Ali's strength, talent, and charisma.

Muhammad Ali, nicknamed "The Greatest," shook the world with his strength, talent, and charisma. In 1960, at just 18 years old, he won a gold medal at the Rome Summer Games before being crowned heavyweight boxing champion three times. However, it was his activism that earned him his greatest triumph. He indeed sacrificed a long period of his career to stand up for his beliefs, using his fame to advocate for civil rights and peace.

The design of the pen is inspired by Ali's career and commitment. The cap is shaped like a boxing bag and lacquered with a guilloché pattern, featuring 750/1000 gold inlays engraved by hand, reminiscent of a boxing glove and a dove of peace. The pose adopted by Muhammad Ali during his victory is engraved alongside the inscription "TKO-W-7 (15)" (meaning technical knockout in the seventh round out of 15) on the gold-coated ring of the cap. The victory belt that Muhammad Ali proudly wore is reflected in the design of the skeleton clip, engraved with the inscription "ALI."

The body of the pen is inspired by "The Muhammad Ali Center" located in Louisville, Kentucky. It recalls the stained glass windows of the building. The 750/1000 gold cone is adorned with a special engraving and lacquered inlays. It bears the inscription "NEW ORLEANS 1978 NEW YORK 1998." This references important dates: the victory of his third world championship title, as well as the year he became a United Nations Messenger of Peace.

The Great Characters Muhammad Ali Limited Edition 98 fountain pen has dimensions of 148 x 18 x 18 mm. Its size and weight are perfectly balanced to provide a comfortable and luxurious writing experience. The limitation to 98 fountain pens is a reference to the year 1998, the year Ali became a United Nations Messenger of Peace.
