Golf GOLD St.Moritz Summer Golf Fountain Pen

Everything that should be a postcard Switzerland: elegance and sophistication, exclusivity, yet warmth and openness, symbolizes, like no other resort St. Moritz. It is wonderful that the influence St Moritz has on global awareness, since it first welcomed skiers nearly 150 years ago, has grown enough to become a film and literary destination for luxury getaways.

Montegrappa, the most respected writing instrument manufacturer in Italy, is pleased to announce the creation of a series of pens honoring the Swiss resort – St Moritz, with the premiere coinciding with 2010 St Moritz Arts Masters. These events are a mutual fitting representation: of the town itself and the aura of luxury surrounding fountain pens and rollerballs.

As early as 1934, Alfred Hitchcock shot the opening scenes of the film “The Man Who Knew Too Much” in this city. It also served as a beautiful backdrop for the film, which was made exactly 30 years later in the James Bond series: “Goldfinger,” as well as for “For Your Eyes Only” in 1981. The most romantic musician, Peter Sarstedt, mentioned St Moritz among the elite places in his immortal song “Where Do You Go To My Lovely.” Mentioning it alone exudes haute monde sophistication.

However, St Moritz offers much more than skiing, golf, and other recreational activities. Every year, the city hosts art exhibitions, renowned shows, seminars, walks, and other attractions. The 2010 St Moritz Arts Masters is an event taking place for the third time, from August 27 to September 5. A gathering of artists, collectors, experts, and critics – a rare opportunity to publicly enjoy art in all its aspects.

This event’s representation will be an excellent promotional opportunity for Montegrappa and the famous town to showcase their exclusivity. An artist can use the tool – a pen – to depict a work of art adorned with a visual representation of St Moritz. To decorate the bodies, Montegrappa’s designer selected three historic posters to illustrate the wide range of attractions in St Moritz. Each image is hand-painted by artist Lorena Straffi. The fountain pens are made of celluloid – a costly material derived from cotton fiber combined with natural dyes and mother-of-pearl, then decorated with 18K gold and sterling silver. In this limited edition, only 8 pens have been produced.

The meticulous craftsmanship will ensure comfort of use and satisfaction with such an original and luxurious product as the limited collections by Montegrappa.
