Gold Fountain Pen Mayan Calendar Montegrappa

The Mayans created an empire, developing agriculture, astronomy, and architecture. In their culture, the calendar defined the meaning and order of the world, determining the place of the entire community and individual units within the universe. They conducted astronomical observations, interested in the movements of the Sun, Moon, and stars. A proud symbol of Italian style and creativity, Montegrappa, through the new series from the limited collection of writing instruments Mayan Calendar, aims to honor the civilization for its significant cultural achievements.

It is striking, but for many years scholars believed that Mayan Calendar predicted the end of the world on December 21, 2012. Whatever the case, it turns out there is still time to enjoy the exclusive Limited Series from Montegrappa, dedicated precisely to the Mayan calendar. Considering the time constraints that inspired Montegrappa, the pen is—naturally and truly—a limited collection.
On the surface of the decorated pen, distinguishing it from others, are engraved images of Mayan gods and patterns reproducing Mayan architecture. The pen clip itself is very expressive—a sword used by Mayan priests offering sacrifices to the gods. All fountain pens in the collection feature a built-in plunger filling mechanism by Montegrappa. The cap release, which activates the plunger, provides the same sensitivity as winding a mechanical watch. The nibs are made of 18-karat gold and feature a noble ebonite feed. Most components of the pen are decorated using "lost wax" casting, with detailed hand finishing. The cap and body in the gold version are also hand-engraved.
Available in silver or solid 18K gold, both versions are finished with transparent glaze and an innovative full bronze version. Created by the Mayans over 360 days, divided into 18 months of 20 days each, the silver and bronze versions will be offered in limited editions of just 360 fountain pens and 360 ballpoint pens. The Gold version will include only 20 fountain pens and 20 ballpoints. The Mayan Calendar collection also includes limited edition cufflinks—360 in silver, 360 in bronze, and 20 in solid 18K gold.

The cultural heritage developed by the Mayan civilization is reflected in the monumental structures of today’s buildings, astronomy, and art. Montegrappa, inspired by the spirit of civilizational development, has crowned their achievements with a truly luxurious pen. It should be understood not only in a physical dimension but, above all, in a spiritual one...
