Montblanc Bohème

- The Bohème celebrates Montblanc’s exceptional attention to detail. Black precious resin, an elegant synthetic gemstone in the clip, and a handcrafted retractable gold nib (Handcrafted Au585 / 14K gold nib, rhodium finish) create a true jewel in the Montblanc pantheon. The fact that these pens are not easy to come by these days only adds to their allure. Surely a Bohème is a poem to be cherished and is the type of must-have pen that all of us relish.
That the pen has a retractable nib and the size of the Bohème is something that comes as a shock to many who are used to equating Montblanc pens with the ubiquitous 149, the ultimate phallic symbol as it has been often termed. However, in the hand, the Bohème feels like a dream and writes with equal elan, if not more. If glides on the paper, crystallizing thoughts with an alacrity that confounds. I for one never cease to be mesmerized by this pen.
German engineering is like a blitzkrieg. They just roll through whatever you may choose to put in their way even before you can rationally relate to the fact that they are on the move. If Montblanc in general is no exception, then the Bohème is what is its apogee. The engineering is so precise and the thought and technicalities that have gone into the making of this pen are so perfect that one can spend hours at an end just by looking at it with admiring eyes, forgetting even to put the nib on paper. The way the clip aligns with the nib… well, it is all beyond my ability to express my awe. And don’t forget, these things are forever, even physically.
The only thing that I do not like about this pen is the fact that it is a cartridge filler and here too, the sheer ingenuity of the engineering that allows the cartridge to roll out when a certain lever is screwed is fantastic. As for my not liking cartridges, let me also clarify that I am a heavy writer and somehow feel that my writing bouts will outlast the cartridges. Nothing personal there - I just dislike cartridges, all cartridges, as I think that they too, with their disposable plastic tubes, add to the pollution, robbing the fountain pens of their holier-than-thou air of superiority as sustainable writing instruments. Is this the Achilles’ Heel of the Bohème? Me thinks, it is.
My father used to rap me on the knuckles for my bohemian attitude in life. Wish he was here now; I would surely have resolved all his worries about my future by showing him my Bohème!
PS I am leaving a secret here. Let us see if I need to address it in a later video.
And great point about slowing things down and taking control of your situation
This video made me bring mine back to rotation.. Oh wait ! I see ‘Moonman’ engraved on my pen 😉
Beena Magic Sir....Others are Too Expensive...😅
I Always Like Your Small Narrative Before Demonstration...👍
Beautiful pen.
Sir can you make a comparison video of Montblanc and pelikan fountain pens?
Please do it if possible.
Thank you 🙏
Love you sir ❤️
Thanks, Chawm, for another informative presentation.
This is my one and only pen. Have the noir version, absolutely gorgeous writer. My father passed it down to me, but he rarely wrote with it due to the EF nib. Luckily the EF is my personal preference in all fountain pens
There is one more point. Though the pen when capped is small when you post it and bring out the nib the pen elongates into a reasonable length for comfortable writing. Sadly, I am told, this pen is no longer in production. If so, the reason would be interesting to know. To a writer this pen is so easy to carry and comfortable to write with that one would have expected it to become one of their more popular products. I have one and have been using it for about a couple of decades now in preference to other models from the same stable. They are neatly stashed away in the boxes they were bought in while the Boheme adorns my shirt pocket.
I like the Boheme. I had the ballpoint but never thought fountain pen. Is it still in production?
At least Moonman (Majohn) still has it in production 😉
It’s called X1.. I’ve one and it’s an excellent writer..
👍🏼👍🏼
Wow it’s a rich man’s pilot vanishing point 😂. But this will be in my bucket list for sure .

Is mb still making these?

Yes I suppose pulling out a MB looks very fancy. Somehow my inky fingers make it a bit less elite feeling 😀. To be honest i usually use a Pilot Capless / Vanishing Point at meetings. Never had the chance to use the Boheme. I like my 146 though, although my Japanese pens are better writers.
@@AndrewWertheimer Even though I’ve a VP, I prefer to take A1 or A2 or Curidas to meetings.. A VP costs $200 here in India and I’ve a fear of losing it !
I understand. I bought my VP second-hand, but also am more comfortable with taking an A1 or A2 someplace where I don't feel as safe... not that so many can tell the difference. Never tried a Curidas, but I fear it would not last long in my bags. @@sathishrao7926 I raised some eyes when I post my (big) Gama Eyas or (colorful) Ranga at a meeting :)
@@sathishrao7926 I thought I had replied, but maybe it didn’t post. Many of my pens are second hand, so maybe I don’t worry as much most days… but I also have an A1 and A2 that I could take and worry even less. Never tried a Curidas. I’m afraid the plastic would break in my bag. Aloha.
Indian have done it and i have it. But plastic quality & aesthetics is little bit less when compared to this one. BEENA retractable fountain pen which is only 160 Rs. when I got it,
thee Boheme is a line dedicated to us ladies, or so i have heard ...
