What is the correct pronunciation of this interesting Montblanc model?

Since the e in Bohème has an accent grave, I would pronounce it like this: French pronunciation (http://voix.larousse.fr/francais/54373fra2.mp3)

bo ehm.

it is french

I've heard someone pronounce it bow HEEM, but let's not talk about that and such a fine pen in the same sentence.

Everyone I've heard pronounce it has said "Bo Hem"

Like Chrissy, I will often refer to it as the Bo - hem.

But Mango is correct, it should be "Bo- emm". The 'H' and the 'ee' only come into play when we use the adjective - Bohemian - which isn't usually applicable to the pen? (imho)

Enjoy.
