Montegrappa St. Moritz White Turf Gold Fountain Pen

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

Everything that should be a postcard of Switzerland: elegance and sophistication, exclusivity, yet warmth and openness, is symbolized by no other resort than 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.

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

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 and collectors, experts and critics – a rare opportunity to publicly indulge in art in all its aspects.

Participation in this event will be an excellent way for Montegrappa and the famous town to promote and showcase their exclusivity. An artist can use the tool – a pen – to showcase a work of art adorned with a visual representation of St Moritz. To decorate the bodies, Montegrappa’s designer chose 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 from red celluloid – a costly material derived from cotton fiber combined with natural dyes and mother-of-pearl, and then decorated with 18K gold sterling silver. In this limited edition, only 8 pens have been produced.

The meticulous craftsmanship will ensure your comfort in use and satisfaction with such an original and luxurious product, as these limited collections by Montegrappa undoubtedly are.
