Montegrappa pens - UK

Montegrappa pens UK sales

The Italian's are very well know for their fine quality and excellent craftsmanship, Montegrappa pens are no exception.

Montegrappa, the first Italian manufacturer of writing instruments, opened in Bassano del
Grappa in 1912. Nearly a century of superb craftsmanship has passed for this Italian
brand known around the world for its Italian creativity and style.
In the same historical building since 1912, Montegrappa has been a part of the lives of
great men, and it has also witnessed moments of intense creativity and innovative breakthroughs.
Ernest Hemingway and John Dos Passos, both Red Cross volunteer ambulance
drivers during World War I, crossed the threshold of the original factory entrance on
Via Cà Erizzo that was recently restored. That same entrance was among the first in Italy
to see the arrival of celluloid, a precious material obtained from cotton that was already a
protagonist of Montegrappa collections in the thirties.
Starting in the late thirties, the modern fountain pen became more than just a writing instrument
and was transformed into an accessory that made a fashion statement. Thanks to the
wide variety of colours, tasteful design, and special jeweler’s techniques (for which the Vicenza
area is famous), Montegrappa became a recognized symbol of excellence. Although
shapes and materials may change, all Montegrappa pens possess distinctive features: the
octagonal shape, the rotating sphere on the end of the clip, and precious materials such as
gold, silver, gems, and celluloid are the unique elements that have made history.
The entire Montegrappa range is divided into two large families: the Regular Range, composed
of glamorous, beautifully designed accessories that make the daily task of writing
much more enjoyable, and the Limited Editions, an extraordinary blend of craftsmanship
and beautiful design inspired by the passions and myriad expressions of human creativity
and coveted by collectors and connoisseurs.
Much admired and appreciated for its outstanding quality and traditional craftsmanship,
Montegrappa has become a world ambassador of Italian style and elegance and is distributed
in nearly 60 countries.

The Space pen is the most reliable pen of the market and can be used on most surfaces and all most any condition that is thrown at it.
