One of the world's most translated books with editions in more than 250 languages and dialects, Le Petit Prince tells the allegorical story about the chance encounter between a pilot and a little prince from a distant planet. The international luxury Maison transformed the Sofitel's Jyran Restaurant into the enchanted universe of Le Petit Prince, offering many different ways to experience the imagination and wonder of the little prince's world.
Nicolas Baretzki, Chief Executive Officer of Montblanc, says: "Le Petit Prince novel remains as pertinent today as it was when written. Montblanc is honoured to pay tribute to the profound classic with this special edition Meisterstück writing instrument, conveying the power of gifting, imagination and the importance of transmitting ideas and dreams to others."
With design elements informed by Saint-Exupéry's hand-drawn illustrations, the first series of Montblanc's Meisterstück Le Petit Prince collection includes three writing instruments, a fine stationery notebook, woven leather bracelet, money clip and cufflinks which feature the characters of the young prince and the fox who enlightens him about the importance of close bonds and human relationships. Subsequent editions will highlight other characters from Le Petit Prince and the powerful messages they carry including the aviator and the planet.
The Montblanc Meisterstück Le Petit Prince Special Edition collection is available in Montblanc boutiques across India.
