Montegrappa Bugatti Pur Sang Mechanical Pencil, Indigo Blue

Description

“Bugatti” – for lots of automobile enthusiasts, it’s the Such a lot evocative name within the history of the motorcar. With decades of greatness on both road and track, during the 1920s and 1930s, and revived to its pre-eminence with the records-shattering Veyron within the 21st Century, this is a legend that spans generations, all the time aspirational, adventurous and leading edge. Inspired by the horses he loved, Ettore Bugatti invested his cars with visual clues to his equine passions. Such a lot notably, his radiators – and the grille at the Veyron – were shaped like both a stirrup and a horse-shoe. He also employed the term “pur-sang”, French for “thoroughbred”, to explain his vehicles, imbued as they were without a-compromise engineering within the quest for without equal in handling and function. It continues to be true to these days. In creating Bugatti Pur Sang Duotone writing instruments, Montegrappa studied the main points and surfaces of the Veyron, in and out. The cars themselves are regularly provided in two-tone schemes, reflected within the series’ name. Duotone pens’ caps and barrels sign up for metal components with superior-quality Italian resin. Starting at the cap and running via the entire pen, the metal surfaces are engraved with a pattern of “Dynamic Quilting”, recalling the upholstery inside a Veyron. The fountain pen has an 18k gold nib, and could also be engraved with the “Dynamic Quilting” pattern and featuring the famous Bugatti logo. The oval logo, referred to as “macaron” in French, also appears in full colour at the best of the cap of each pen, even as the form of the Veyron’s headlights inspired the engraving across the cap ring. All Bugatti Pur Sang Duotone pens are packaged in specially-designed boxes with the Bugatti badge’s oval cross-section. The lid’s inner surface features the “Dynamic Quilting” pattern, even as the outer case suggests carbon fibre, as used extensively within the Veyron.
