Condition: Mint Condition
Box and Booklet: Yes. The outer box does have a bit of damage
Model No: 117890

Edition & Year: Introduced in 2016 as a Special Edition within Montblanc’s Great Characters collection.

The Pen
The cap and barrel are crafted in Rebel Red precious resin, recalling the red jacket Dean wore in Rebel Without a Cause, and carry an engraved pattern inspired by the jeans he wore in the same film. The ruthenium-coated clip takes the form of a gun in homage to his famous scene in Giant (1956), complemented by platinum-coated fittings and an overall silhouette inspired by the knife from Rebel Without a Cause. The cap ring is engraved with Dean’s famous words “Dream as if you’ll live forever. Live as if you’ll die today.”, while the cone bears the coordinates of the James Dean Memorial.

The Story
Montblanc’s Great Characters collection honours James Dean (1931–1955), the actor whose performances in East of Eden, Rebel Without a Cause and Giant made him a lasting symbol of youthful defiance, and who remains the first actor to receive two posthumous Academy Award nominations.

Why This Pen
For the collector drawn to cinema history, this is a richly detailed tribute in which nearly every element, from the clip to the cone, tells part of the James Dean story.
