Some time later, he presented his project to Montblanc and, presumably, they loved it. I say this because they put it into production (almost) immediately.

While the original plan was to release the project to the public in May, delays have since pushed it back. Thankfully, it appears the time has finally come. All 1,969 examples will launch very soon.

Enter the scribbler

Anderson called his creation The Schreiberling, German for “the scribbler.” It’s a pocketable fountain pen inspired by ‘baby’ pens of the 1910s and ’20s.

The stout writing utensil features a click-on cap and is done up in yellow, red, silver and dual shades of green. The tail features a minimalist version of the brand’s iconic logo and the tip has an engraved scribble, a reference to the pen’s name.
