In 1924, after a restyling of its production which was divided into different ranges of quality, [[Montblanc]] began using the ''Meisterstuck'' (masterpiece) name to indicate its higher-end pens, coming with a lifetime warranty, also adopting  the marking of the 4810 monogram with reference to the Mont Blanc height. The same ''masterpiece'' title was also adopted in the foreign market, and are therefore pen were marked ''Masterpiece'' in Britain and the United States, ''Cheuf d'Ouvre'' in France and ''Capolavoro'' in Italy.

However, one must keep in mind that the ''Meisterstück'' name does not identify a precise model or line, as the company tries to make it to appear in the [http://www.montblanc.com/history.php historiography] published in its official website where, unfairly, a [[Montblanc 149|149]] that originates instead in 1952 is reported in 1924. This pen is also grandly referred to as the "symbol par excellence" for the culture of writing, trying to figure that it is the same model, "an icon of a timeless design", of such an high quality that it always remained in production until since 1924 (the quotes are cited from the description on the website cited at March 9, 2009, subsequently amended).

In fact the 1924 models are totally different than [[Montblanc 149|149]] and the ''Meisterstück'' name did not identify at all a specific model or a model line, but it was the name used by [[Montblanc]] to indicate from time to time what the company considered to be its top models. Initially it also implied a lifetime warranty, similar to the ''[[Lifetime]]'' mark used by [[Sheaffer]]. Various models to which was given the ''Meisterstück'' name have in fact followed each other over the years, with very different shapes and styles, starting whith the [[Montblanc Meisterstück|first ones]] of the '20s, to pass to the the [[Montblanc 10x|100]], [[Montblanc 12x|120]] and [[Montblanc 13x|130]] series, to the next [[Montblanc 14x|140]] series and the [[Montblanc 64x|640]] and [[Montblanc 74x|740]] series.
