👑 Montblanc's Homage to Queen: The Greatest Hits II Special Edition

Montblanc pays tribute to the legendary rock band Queen with the Great Characters Homage to Queen Special Edition, celebrating one of their most successful records, the 1991 compilation, "Greatest Hits II".

A Design Inspired by Rock Royalty

This special edition writing instrument perfectly captures the spirit of the band and the album:

Color and Materials: The pen features a dark blue precious resin barrel and cap with gold-plated fittings, echoing the striking color combination of the double LP itself.
The Band's Instruments: The "tools of their trade" are subtly immortalized in the precious resin: a microphone and bass on the cap, and a guitar and drum kit on the barrel, symbolizing the virtuosity of the four iconic musicians:
- Freddie Mercury: The charismatic frontman with an extraordinary vocal range.
- Brian May: The virtuoso guitarist with an unmistakable electric sound.
- John Deacon: The versatile bass player.
- Roger Taylor: The rhythmic heart of the band.

Tributes to the Iconic Members

The design incorporates specific elements that honor Freddie Mercury and Brian May:

Freddie's Crown and Mic Stand:
- The silhouette of the cap top is inspired by the crown Mercury wore during the closing rendition of "God Save The Queen," a metaphor for the band's majestic legacy.
- The gold-coated clip is shaped like a microphone stand, a signature feature of Mercury's electrifying live performances.
Brian May's Guitar:
- The tip of the writing instrument is shaped to honor Brian May's virtuoso playing. It features a delicate fluting pattern and a small red dot, reminiscent of the volume and tone control knobs on his famous electric guitar.
- The cone is further engraved with the release date of the Greatest Hits II album.

This compilation, one of the biggest-selling and best-known in the world, showcased Queen's genre-shattering musical universe—a fusion of hard rock, glam rock, pop, funk, and opera—with iconic hits like "A Kind of Magic," "Radio Ga Ga," "The Show Must Go On," and the powerful "Under Pressure" (a collaboration with David Bowie).
