Montegrappa Imperial Year of the Dragon Limited Edition Fountain Pen

The Montegrappa Imperial Year of the Dragon Limited Edition Fountain Pen is a remarkable writing instrument that celebrates the mythical dragon, a symbol of power and good fortune in Eastern culture. This pen is a fusion of art and craftsmanship, featuring multiaxial laser-engraving on sterling silver that creates intricate 19th-century tattoo illustrations along its body. The pen is adorned with a ruby set into the clip and utilizes black-carbon Juma® for the grip section, marking Montegrappa's first use of this innovative material. It comes with an 18K gold nib available in various sizes and is equipped with a piston filling system. The pen is presented in a walnut case with a special collection plaque and includes a 50ml bottle of blue signature ink. This edition is limited to 333 fountain pens, making it a coveted item for collectors and enthusiasts of fine writing instruments.

Features:

• Imperial Year of the Dragon revisits the core artisanal features of Skulls & Roses, the sold-out 2022 edition that premiered our 5-axis fibre laser capability with striking, full-body tattoo engraving. Like its predecessor, our new edition is made in numbered runs of 333 fountain pens
• Once again, multiaxial laser-engraving has been used to subvert the essential form of Extra, elaborating sterling silver with bespoke, 19th-century tattoo illustration cut into its entire length. Tarnishing and brushing effects provide a gritty, vintage patina that accentuates the engraving’s extraordinary density and crispness.
• Advances on our 2022 design include a ⌀2mm AAA ruby (0.04 ct) set into the clip, and the selection of black-carbon Juma® as the grip section material. Our first-ever use of this innovative resin foreshadows forthcoming releases that will continue to explore the dragon mythos.
• Fountain pens are equipped with piston filling, an ⌀8mm custom ‘hungry dragon’ nib in 18K gold and an ebonite feed.
• Packaging for the collection also provides Walnut case, elaborated with a special collection plaque. Fountain pens are supplied with a 50ml bottle of blue Signature Ink with a custom-engraved cap.
