Montegrappa releases tasty new Cognac Hors d’Age Luxury Writing Pen

COGNAC HORS D’AGE  Limited Edition | Edizioni

Montegrappa has introduced its new luxury writing pen, the Cognac Hors D’age, based on the classic wood of a cognac barrel.

Using natural Limousin oak, the Montegrappa Cognac Hors d’Age has been carved to mimic the curvature and stave construction of the cognac barrel, with sterling silver trims mimicking its hoops. Pyrogravure detailing lends cellar character to the pen’s barrel and cap: both have been engineered to align perfectly.

In keeping with the traditions of the oldest, rarest cognacs, this new Edizioni release is destined to be owned by very few. Only fifty examples have been produced: each is a cartridge/converter fountain pen with an 18K white gold filigree nib – available in grades of Extra-Fine, Fine, Medium and Broad. A luxurious wooden presentation case is a place to store your rare acquisition and watch it age gracefully.

While the Montegrappa Cognac Hors d’Age’s all-oak body will have no discernible effect on the ink within, its natural grain is organic and responsive. It will develop a gentle patina over years of use.

Montegrappa Pens releases Limited Edition Genio Creativo: Leonardo Da Vinci set

Italy-based luxury pen maker Montegrappa has released a new addition to its limited edition series, the Genio Creativo, and is based on Italian genius Leonardo Da Vinci.

The new set is intended to mark the 500 years since the loss of one of history’s most prolific minds, Leonardo da Vinci. For the design of this limited-edition release, they chose to celebrate both his artistic and scientific acumen.

 

LEONARDO da VINCI

Says Montegrappa, “From machines of war to telescopes, musical instruments and early robotics, Leonardo’s ambition and talent knew no boundaries. Left-handed, he was also an enigmatic writer, annotating his drawings with mirror script written right to left. The new Leonardo da Vinci edition writes conventionally, but celebrates the maestro’s technological prowess throughout its design and presentation.”

DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION

The new Leonardo Da Vinci edition is made of hand-finished brass, stainless steel and Tuscan olive wood, and the edition’s 500 piston-fed fountain pens and 500 rollerballs combine fine metal detailing with organic materials.

This combination of materials is done as an homage to Leonardo’s sense for the fluid relationship between nature, art and science. References to his achievements in geometry, astronomy, engineering and architecture are featured throughout the piece.

  • Trim: brass, steel
