Montblanc evokes astronaut view of Earth with new StarWalker pens

Montblanc is capping its trademark "snow peak" with the much higher perch of outer space.

The luxury pen maker introduced its new StarWalker line of writing instruments on Tuesday (June 11). Each pen is topped by a blue translucent dome beneath the Montblanc six-pointed star or snowcap logo, evoking the view of Earth emerging above the lunar horizon.

"This year marks the 50th anniversary of the landing on the moon," said Nicolas Baretzki, Montblanc's CEO, in a statement. "Most astronauts who had the opportunity to see Earth from space over the years share the same unique feeling — the majesty of our planet is difficult to describe. That's why we decided to take a unique perspective on space exploration by looking back at our planet from the vast expanse of space."
