■ About the Issue

 

Welcome to the 80th issue of B.

 

Every generation sees popular words and expressions wax and wane with the passage of time. One of these expressions is “taste,” which has crept into conversations and articles, now inspiring scores of readers to obsess over tastes. In an age in which self- expression is highly valued, the word “taste” neatly expresses the unique and differentiating personality of an individual—the element that categorically sets them apart from the crowd. If left ambiguously defined, it may feel as though that person has no particular penchant for anything. According to the general definition, however, taste could be seen as something that captivates one’s attention. Things that win over the heart right away, things that seem decent and proper, or things for which appreciation is acquired with exposure—all of these are things “taste” could connote.

Montblanc, a German brand that started as a luxury writing instrument manufacturer in the city of Hamburg, is case in point. While it seems to have secured a place in the luxury segment in the ranges of pens, watches, and leather goods, Montblanc has managed to remain an unassuming, unpretentious brand that refrains from ostentatious or provocative images. One interesting fact is that those who encounter Montblanc directly or indirectly are likely to strongly recommend the brand to their family or friends. Recommending a product is slightly different from falling within an individual’s taste parameters. People make recommendations when something is proven to be authentic, or when you see it like an investment whose value won’t depreciate over time. In that sense, Montblanc products can create a “guaranteed” taste in that they are products that weather the test of time.
