Montblanc and Wes Anderson Collaborate Again in New 'Let’s Write' Short

Luxury German brand Montblanc is continuing its creative partnership with filmmaker Wes Anderson, launching a second charming short film that spotlights its history and passion for storytelling.

Following last year’s celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Meisterstück fountain pen, this new four-minute film — titled Let’s Write — features Anderson’s unmistakable visual style and comedic flair.

A Star-Studded Cast and a Whimsical Setting

The film reunites a talented cast including Rupert Friend, Michael Cera, and Waris Ahluwalia, all returning to the fictional Montblanc Observatory High-Mountain Library. The narrative weaves together wit and wonder, encouraging viewers to rediscover the joy of writing, exploration, and creativity.

Set just before the holidays, the story opens inside the Observatory, transitioning into a festive bar scene. The actors, each embodying eccentric characters, introduce viewers to a world where writing is both an art form and a way of life.

Luxury Products Meet Narrative Play

In typical Wes Anderson fashion, Let’s Write introduces a number of Montblanc’s latest releases in cleverly stylized vignettes: The Montblanc Writing Traveler Bag The Wes Anderson–designed “SCHREIBERLING” A Portable Writing Table The Minerva Pocket Watch

Each object is showcased with vintage charm and narrative flair, contributing to the film’s central theme: writing as a lifelong journey.

Craftsmanship, Comedy, and a Love for Travel

At its core, Let’s Write is a celebration of Montblanc’s craftsmanship, blending high design with a deep love for travel and storytelling. The short closes with the Montblanc Voyage of Panorama, a symbolic journey that turns the act of writing into a cinematic adventure.

Final Thoughts

This second collaboration between Montblanc and Wes Anderson reaffirms the brand’s commitment to artful branding and cultural storytelling. With its quirky visuals, iconic cast, and elegant product placement, Let’s Write is more than just a film—it’s a love letter to creativity, luxury, and the written word.
