The reference is 131967 .
In the rich history of rock music, few names have shone as consistently as Queen. With a career spanning over five decades, the band is among the most famous of all time. During this period, Queen became the embodiment of the power of musical creativity, with most of their songs remaining at the top of the charts for weeks.
Inspired by the 1991 album Greatest Hits II, Montblanc pays tribute with the Great Characters Homage to Queen Special Edition to one of Queen's most successful albums. Echoing the striking color scheme of the double LP Greatest Hits II, this edition is presented in dark blue with gold-finish details. The four musicians behind the sound of this legendary compilation have gone down in history: Freddie Mercury, the charismatic frontman with a multi-octave vocal range and rich vibrato; Brian May, the virtuoso guitarist with an unmistakable sound; John Deacon, the versatile and creative bassist; and Roger Taylor, the band's rhythmic heart. As a testament to their musical virtuosity, which made their 1991 album one of the world's best-selling and best-known, their "working tools" are subtly immortalized on the precious resin: microphone and bass on the cap; guitar and drums on the body. On their album Greatest Hits II, the band presented a wide selection of their chart-topping hits, from rock anthems to catchy pop songs, including iconic tracks like "A Kind of Magic," classics like "Radio Ga Ga" and "The Show Must Go On," the electrifying "I Want to Break Free," and the poignant "Under Pressure," a collaboration with David Bowie. Besides Freddie Mercury's voice, the key to the band's special sound was Brian May's exceptional guitar talent. This writing instrument pays homage to him and his virtuosity through the shape of its tip. Designed after the distinctive volume and tone knobs of his famous electric guitar, the cone features a delicate groove pattern, a small red dot, and an engraving of the Greatest Hits II album release date. The crown worn by Mercury during the final performance of "God Save The Queen" inspired the silhouette of the top of the Special Edition cap, both a metaphor for the band's majestic character and its musical legacy. The gold-plated clip was designed to resemble a microphone stand, a reference to one of Freddie Mercury's signature live performances.
The dimensions are 141.2 x 17.7 mm.
