When I have a Meisterstück and I give it to you, I create a bond, and this bond is unique. “The Meisterstück is a writing instrument that is often gifted. Transference is another key theme in the book and aligns perfectly with the Montblanc ethos. And it speaks of very universal concepts like love, friendship, imagination. I read it to my daughter I read it to my brother my brother read it to his children. "In fact, it was read to me by my cousin, who was older than me. "I was 10 when I read Le Petit Prince ," he recounts. It was the story's themes of love, imagination and friendship that resonated with Montblanc's creative director, Zaim Kamal. It has since been translated into 300 languages, with 200 million copies sold around the globe. The setting was fitting – fans of The Little Prince may be surprised to hear that French author de Saint-Exupéry wrote the book while living in New York during the Second World War. But it was Jackman, who read a passage from the book alongside fellow Montblanc ambassador Casiraghi, who stole the show. High above the streets of Manhattan, celebrities such as Charlotte Casiraghi, Milla Jovovich, Rita Ora, Chloë Sevigny and Lucky Blue Smith converged in a space that had been transformed into a magical, childlike universe. To celebrate the launch of its latest writing instrument, a Meisterstück inspired by the adventures of the little prince, Montblanc organised a high-profile gala dinner in the observatory of One World Trade Center, New York’s tallest building. O ver the last 75 years, an estimated 400 million people have read Le Petit Prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's allegorical tale of a young boy who leaves the tiny asteroid he calls home and travels to Earth – but the story is undoubtedly imbued with added resonance when recounted by Hollywood actor Hugh Jackman.
