The Woods St. Moritz Silver Fountain Pen

The most respected manufacturer of writing instruments in Italy, Montegrappa, is pleased to announce that it has the honor of creating 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 luxurious atmosphere surrounding the fountain pens and rollers.

Like no other resort, St Moritz symbolizes everything that should be on a Swiss 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.

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”. 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, famous 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 and 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 promotional opportunity for Montegrappa and the famous town to showcase their exclusivity. An artist can use the pen as a tool to depict a work of art enhanced by 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 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 made from red-colored celluloid and sterling silver have been produced.

This captivating pen draws our attention with extraordinary elegance, and additionally allows the owner to showcase the greatest virtues of art and great success simultaneously. Highly recommended!
