St.Moritz Summer Golf Silver Fountain Pen

Montegrappa, the most respected writing instrument manufacturer in Italy, is pleased to announce the honor of creating a series of pens celebrating the Swiss resort – St Moritz, coinciding with the 2010 St Moritz Arts Masters. These events are a mutual fitting representation: of the town itself and the aura of luxury that surrounds fountain pens and rollers.

St. Moritz is like no other resort, symbolizing everything that should be a postcard of Switzerland: elegance and sophistication, exclusivity, yet warmth and openness. It is remarkable that the influence St Moritz has on global awareness, since it first welcomed skiers nearly 150 years ago, has grown enough to become a cinematic and literary setting for luxurious getaways.

As early as 1934, Alfred Hitchcock filmed the opening scenes of “The Man Who Knew Too Much” in this town. It also served as a beautiful backdrop for the film made exactly 30 years later in the James Bond series: “Goldfinger” and for “For Your Eyes Only” in 1981. Bond creator Ian Fleming clearly knew he found a good location: the surroundings of St Moritz also served as the headquarters for the villain Blofeld in the novel “On Her Majesty's Secret Service.” The most romantic musician, Peter Sarstedt, mentioned St Moritz among elite locations in his immortal song “Where Do You Go To My Lovely.” Its mere mention conveys the chic of the haute monde.

However, St Moritz offers much more than skiing, golf, and other forms of recreation. Each year, the town welcomes art, famous exhibitions, seminars, walks, and other attractions. The 2010 St Moritz Arts Masters is an event taking place for the third time, occurring from August 27 to September 5. A gathering of artists and collectors, experts and critics – it is 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 display a work of art adorned with a visual representation of St Moritz. To decorate the barrels, Montegrappa's designer chose three historical posters to illustrate the wide range of attractions in St Moritz. Each image is hand-painted by artist Loren Straffi. The rollerball pens are made from celluloid - an expensive material made from cotton fiber combined with natural dyes and mother-of-pearl, and then adorned with sterling silver. In this limited edition, 300 rollerball pens made from flame red celluloid and sterling silver were produced.
