Homage to John F. Kennedy Great Characters Special Edition With the Great Characters Editions, Montblanc honors the great figures from history with their groundbreaking work and now pays tribute to one of the most beloved presidents of the United States, a man who shaped the 20th century. John F. Kennedy was the 35th President of the United States of America from 1961to 1963. The overall design reflects JFKs famous Ivy league style and the color is inspired by his alma mater, Harvard University. The caps fitting details (3 rings) represent his three brothers, while the rings on the barrel reflect his military career.
