The Montblanc Noir et Noir and the Rouge et Noir pens were the precursor to the Bohéme lineup and they were launched in 1999 with a view to replace the previous Montblanc Noblesse Range as the mid-level Montblanc range. The Noir et Noir has the body in black resin with platinum-plated trim, a synthetic black onyx gemstone in a "paramount" cut at the end point of its clip and a 14-carat dual-tone retractable nib with the same design as the Meisterstuck range. The Rouge et Noir was exactly the same pen with a synthetic ruby gemstone instead of the onyx and gold-plated trim. Unlike the subsequent Bohéme pens, the Noir et Noir and the Rouge et Noir pens did not have the 3 trim rings and the word Boheme engraved on one of its rings. The model name often referred to the color of the faux gems mounted on the clip. This short Boheme already discontinued.
