Short description
Unlike any other resort,St Moritz symbolizes everything that should be on Switzerland's postcard: elegance and sophistication, exclusivity, yet warmth and openness. 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 that it has the honor of creating a series of pens honoring the Swiss resort – St Moritz, whose premiere coincides 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.
As early as 1934, Alfred Hitchcock shot the opening scenes of the film “The Man Who Knew Too Much” in this city. The most romantic musician, Peter Sarstedt, mentioned St Moritz among the elite places in his timeless song “Where Do You Go To My Lovely”. Simply mentioning it exudes haute monde chic.
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 held for the third time, taking place 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.
The representation of this event will thus be an excellent form of promotion for Montegrappa and the famous town, showcasing 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 Loren Straffi. The ballpoint pens are made from celluloid – an expensive material derived from cotton fiber combined with natural dyes and mother-of-pearl, then decorated with sterling silver. In this limited edition, 300 ballpoint pens are made from red-colored celluloid and sterling silver.
The pen allows the owner to showcase the greatest virtues of art and great success. Highly recommended!
