Montblanc Desk Compass in Original Presentation Box A refined Montblanc desk compass presented in its original mahogany-finish wooden presentation box, accompanied by the original black Montblanc outer box. The compass has a substantial circular brass-finish housing with the MONTBLANC name engraved around the bezel. The dial features a traditional compass rose, cardinal and intercardinal directions, degree markings and a distinctive red and black compass needle. The compass is housed in a purpose-made wooden presentation case with a rich mahogany finish. The inside of the lid and base are fitted with circular black-lined recesses designed specifically to accommodate and display the compass. The Montblanc logo is prominently applied to the outside of the wooden case. The set has a particularly elegant presentation and is an unusual Montblanc collectible outside the brand’s better-known writing instruments.
