Montblanc Great Characters Homage To Queen Special Edition Rollerball MB131979

Montblanc Great Characters Homage To Queen Special Edition Rollerball MB131979 is a tribute to one of the most influential bands in rock history, Queen, and their extraordinary musical legacy. This special edition honours the 1991 album Greatest Hits II, a worldwide success that cemented the band’s status as a timeless icon.

The design draws inspiration from the striking colour scheme of the Greatest Hits II double album. A dark blue precious resin body is paired with gold-coated fittings, creating an elegant yet powerful aesthetic. Subtle engravings on the pen reference the four musicians behind the album: microphone and bass on the cap, guitar and drum kit on the barrel, symbolising their individual contributions and shared creativity.

Queen’s legendary line-up included the charismatic frontman Freddie Mercury, virtuoso guitarist Brian May, inventive bassist John Deacon and drummer Roger Taylor. Their music blended rock, pop, glam rock, funk and opera, breaking genre boundaries and creating a unique sound. Greatest Hits II brought together some of their most iconic tracks, including Radio Ga Ga, I Want to Break Free, The Show Must Go On and Under Pressure, recorded with David Bowie.

The rollerball’s cone pays tribute to Brian May’s distinctive guitar tone, inspired by the volume and tone knobs of his famous electric guitar, complete with delicate fluting, a red dot and an engraved album release date. The cap top echoes the crown worn by Freddie Mercury during his performances, while the gold-coated clip is shaped like a microphone stand, referencing his unforgettable stage presence. This writing instrument combines Montblanc craftsmanship with the enduring spirit of Queen.
