Description from the seller
Here we present, for the Montblanc connoisseur, an object of extraordinary rarity and charm—perfect for collectors seeking pieces beyond the classic pen lineup: a Montblanc desk compass in a gift edition. This refined nautical instrument combines the elegance of traditional materials with the prestige of the Hamburg brand, turning a technical tool into a precious desk accessory for high-profile workspaces.
The compass is crafted in metal with a polished gold/brass finish, with the name "MONTBLANC" elegantly engraved on the upper bezel. The white dial, protected by mineral glass, features a classic compass rose with precise indications and a two-tone magnetic needle (red and black) that is fully functional. The instrument is housed in a splendid wooden presentation box with a mahogany finish, enhanced by the Montblanc logo and name impressed in white on the lid. The interior of the lid features a circular recessed cavity that cradles the compass when the box is closed, while the base displays it with distinction once opened.
Regarding its condition, the item is in as-new condition. The compass metal shows no oxidization or signs of handling, the box wood is free of scratches or dents, and the hinges operate with perfect fluidity. The lot also includes its original black outer carton with a white logo, also in excellent condition, making this set an ideal gift opportunity or a flawless display piece.
