Celebrating Fine Craftsmanship and Time-honored Designs

One of the world’s leading luxury brands held a cocktail event last March 7 at its boutique in Rustan’s Cebu to celebrate fine craftsmanship and time-honored designs. Montblanc has long been globally renowned for its writing instruments, one of its “three pillars” along with its leather goods and watches. It has since expanded its product selection to accessories, fragrances and eyewear for both men and women.

Welcoming guests were Montblanc’s Managing Director for South East Asia, Anouar Guerraoui, Rustan Commercial Corporation president Donnie V. Tantoco, and marketing communications manager Dina Tantoco, who flew in for the special occasion.

“This is my first time to visit the Montblanc store here in Cebu and I am very impressed. The Montblanc collection varies, but one thing is for sure, it is the vision of performance, innovation and perfect quality that is the constant driving force of the brand,” says Mr. Anouar Guerraoui.

Donnie Tantoco also talked about Rustan’s relationship with Montblanc: “We’ve had a very fruitful and valuable relationship with Montblanc for the past 16 years and I’m very proud to present Montblanc to you in a more powerful, more beautiful and meaningful way than we have ever done before here in the beautiful city of Cebu.”

The event was attended by people from the media, corporate and social scenes who enjoyed cocktails, champagne and the jazz music of a saxophonist and vocalist. Guests had their favorite quotes calligraphed using the finest of Montblanc’s writing instruments, an industry it continues to strongly dominate in.

Named after the highest peak in Europe, Montblanc was conceived in 1906, symbolizing their vision of excellence and pursuit of ultimate performance and the finest craftsmanship. They made their first mark in 1924 with the creation of the Meisterstuck fountain pen, an iconic piece which to this day epitomizes prestige, success and authenticity. It is the quintessential, classic gift for life’s most celebrated milestones for its timelessness, quality and value for money.
