Signs and symbols
Montblanc’s ‘Signs & Symbols’ collector line, an annual tribute to the rich culture of East Asian myths and legends, continues to captivate enthusiasts with its exquisite craftsmanship. Established in 2015, this distinguished line comprises two collections: ‘The Legend of Zodiacs’ and ‘A Journey among Dragons’. Each year, these collections undergo a transformation in design, paying homage to the ancient narratives that inspire them. While Western and Eastern cultures both embrace zodiac signs, their origins and interpretations differ significantly. In East Asian traditions, the zodiac spans twelve years, represented exclusively by animal symbols. Each sign not only offers insights into the year ahead but also imparts its defining characteristics to individuals born under it.
In 2023, Montblanc introduced the ‘Signs & Symbols The Legend of Zodiacs: The Dragon Limited Edition 512’, dedicated to the revered dragon, considered the ancestor of the Chinese people and a symbol of power and authority. This mythical creature, often portrayed as the water bringer and ruler of celestial bodies, holds a unique place in the Chinese zodiac. Those born under the dragon sign are celebrated for their courage, ambition, intelligence, enthusiasm, and self-assurance.
Completing the collection are dragon-inspired stationery, accessories, and cufflinks crafted with Ag 925 sterling silver.
