| Cap | A rosette on the cap, a combination of Au750 signature gold and blue lacquer in different shades, is an homage to the rose window of Notre-Dame. |
| Cap Top | The line ‘Chaque homme dans sa nuit s’en va vers sa lumière’ from Les Contemplations engraved on the cap top symbolises the idea of redemption. The cap top is also crowned by the Montblanc emblem in mother of pearl and onyx. |
| Clip | At the end of the clip, which is shaped like the clapper of a bell, recalls the bell ringer Quasimodo and the bells of Notre-Dame. The skeletonised structure takes inspiration from the main rosace window of the Notre-Dame cathedral. |
| Overall Design | Inspired by this literary genius whose life and works shaped the French nation, the cap and barrel in blue lacquer and Au750 solid signature gold overlay has gothic design codes from the cathedral of Notre-Dame and also references to Les Misérables. |
| Cone | The cone is decorated with an engraved trefoil frieze, which is also part of the architecture of Notre-Dame. The shape of the cone, with a single chain link at the end, recalls the posts to which Quasimodo was chained and is decorated with mother of pearl. |
| Nib | The handcrafted, from Au750 solid gold, nib refers to the cathedral bell in Victor's Hugo famous novel Notre-Dame de Paris. |
