Product Overview

The Montegrappa Marconi Model 150 LE is a fountain pen that stands as a tribute to Guglielmo Marconi, an Italian innovator and Nobel Prize-winner known for his groundbreaking work in wireless telegraphy. This limited edition pen is a part of Montegrappa's Avanguardia series and is designed to reflect the aesthetics of the pioneering age of technology. It features a body made from brass with rose-gold electroplating, complemented by segments of palisander rosewood and polycarbonate. The pen's nib is crafted from 18K rose-gold and is available in various widths, including EF, F, M, B, and Stub 1.1, paired with an ebonite feed. The design includes a telegraph key-inspired cap top and a particle-filled barrel segment, which nods to Marconi's coherer wave-detection device. Each pen is supplied with a custom-engraved bottle of black ink and is presented in a wooden work cabinet with steel plaques and an acrylic lid, perfect for display or storage. The Montegrappa Marconi Model 150 LE is not just a writing instrument but a piece of history, celebrating innovation and craftsmanship..

Features:

An intriguing new chapter from our science-minded Avanguardia series is preparing to leave our laboratory. Our new Limited Edition pays tribute to an Italian icon and titan of technological achievement.
Brass is used as a principal material for the body, grip section and for framing modular segments made from palisander rosewood, braided wire and polycarbonate. All brass elements are precision-milled on CNC-machines, and use rose-gold electroplating to mimic copper ferrules, winders and other details. A steel-wire pocket clip also uses a copper effect to simulate a vintage transmitter.
Mechanical complications provide additional highlights via a domed resin cap top with telegraph key haptics and a polycarbonate, particle-filled barrel segment – a reference to the coherer wave-detection device that was pivotal to Marconi’s discovery.
Fountain pens use a concealed Power-Push mechanism, and carry an 8mm, 18K rose-gold nib (EF, F, M, B, Stub 1.1) with ebonite feed. On the nib, custom engraving reproduces wave forms on a copper-coloured ground, and pens are supplied with a custom-engraved bottle of black ink.
Custom packaging is perfectly married to the edition’s theme, providing owners with a wooden work cabinet finished with steel plaques, mirrors and an acrylic lid. The design’s spring-loaded cap top allows it to be suspended between two Montegrappite nodes. Alternately, owners can dismantle the pen and use the bureau’s compartments to clean, charge and arrange the various components.
