Writers Edition Homage to Bram Stoker Limited Edition 1897 Rollerball

Throughout history, mankind has always shown a natural instinct to express its feelings, impressions and experiences in words. So did Bram Stoker, who was many things: civil servant, theatre manager, progressive thinker but, above all, a pioneer of the horror genre, a writer who created in Dracula not only a character of literature but also a myth. In the Irish novelist’s work of 1897, the infamous, centuries-old figure of the vampire found its definitive literary form. In honour of the author of this classic tale of horror, Montblanc has created the Writers Edition Homage to Bram Stoker Limited Edition 1897, with a special focus on the symbolism of bats. Bram Stoker’s superb depiction of sceneries and the appearance of Dracula can take the reader’s breath away even now. This illomened atmosphere is captured in the unusual surface finish of cap and barrel of the Limited Edition 1897, created using a special oxidisation process on Ag 925 sterling silver. The ruthenium-coated fittings, too, reference the highly charged aura of Dracula’s castle, while the decorative elements resemble those of a classic Victorian writing instrument, much like the one which Bram Stoker would have used to pen his works. The fluting on this writing instrument’s ruthenium-coated cone echoes the Corinthian columns of the Lyceum’s grand portico. Lastly, like a bat peacefully asleep with its wide, membraned wings wrapped around it like a wrinkled cloak, the black surface coating of the cap and barrel appears to drape itself around the writing instrument. The shape of this writing instrument is a nod to a milestone in medical technology, the Pravaz syringe, which was operated by a screw mechanism. The vampire’s ‘bite marks’ are suggested by the two red garnets on the clip ring, while the clip, in turn, harkens back to a writing instrument from one of Montblanc’s earliest collections. While the author did not live to experience the worldwide fame of his iconic count, he alone deserves the honour of the Writers Edition Homage to Bram Stoker. His signature nestles in the folds of the bat‘s-wing design on the cap, and in reference to the year of publication of his masterpiece, the edition is limited to precisely 1897 pieces.
