What makes a Mont Blanc Special?
I was in a meeting this morning and noticed my VP's Mont Blanc "164 Meisterstuck". He said it was his third one, as he'd lost the other two. I asked if he'd ever re-filled it, he had and noted that the only refill that writes well is the Mont Blanc refill and is costly.
So I got to wondering what's so special about a Mont Blanc?
From a "hold, feel and look" viewpoint I'm not seeing anything special, maybe except for their special cap with the star-burst. I didn't have a chance to write with it.
So I figured it must be better components and of course the marketing name recognition that makes it special(and worth a lot of $$$).
I did do a "Mont Blanc" search here and found threads discussing how others here make their "Mont Blanc" comparables.
I don't have any experience with Mont Blanc and was just wondering what others here thought about why people think they are special.
