Montblanc captures the moving grandeur of our planet from the vastness of space with its reimagined StarWalker collection
July 20, 1969. An estimated 600 million people bore witness as one Neil Armstrong took man’s first steps on the Moon. The sheer exhilaration at being where no man had ever been presented a unifying force that, for a moment, allowed mankind to cast aside the lines that divide us and come together, as a species, to celebrate the historic feat.
No other singular event in the history of man since has managed to bring together the people as that momentous achievement had. But for one magical evening in June, Montblanc offered a very select group an experience few have had the privilege of owning: a taste of what it’s like to view our home from that vast expanse of nothingness. A month before the 50th anniversary of man’s first lunar walk, the German luxury brand debuted the campaign for its new StarWalker collection in a stunning geodesic dome, complete with mesmerising cosmic views projected on the ceiling, done up in shades of blue that recall Earth as seen from the Moon.
