Montegrappa Q1 Limited Edition Silver Fountain Pen

Description

To be launched at Baselworld 2015, Q1 is Montegrappa’s such a lot bold observation yet of its commitment to broadening the notion of a up to date fountain pen. Although created with out a precedent, the Q1 pen joins Montegrappa’s Cult Collection for it intrinsically embodies the idea that of “cult” in its definition beyond “a special interest group or sect.” Fusion is the important thing, with Q1 marrying ultra-tough and hard titanium for the pen’s barrel with titanium and fine Italian leather for the pen cap, Chrome steel has been employed for the inner parts of the pen, at the same time as tradition demands that an 18K gold nib with filigree Montegrappa logo is fitted on the writing end. The Montegrappa octagonal pattern on both leather and titanium creates a contrasting surface with a different tactility to that of the matte-finish barrel. The cap locks onto the barrel with a slot-and-pin system harking back to a gun scope or camera lens. The arched pocket clip features the signature ball end-piece for smooth ingress and egress to and from pockets. Q1 is the fruit of 2 years research, which culminated within the invention of a unique more than one cartridge loading system. The program makes it imaginable for the Q1 pen to jot down with a few ink colours by changing four different cartridges. The mechanism, very similar to the one in every of a bullet cylinder in a gun, is contained entirely throughout the pen barrel and is the topic of a registered industrial patent. Q1 will likely be produced in an edition of only 100 pieces, and will likely be to be had only in a fountain pen mode. Correctly, the Q1’s packaging is as exclusive as the fountain pen itself. Inspired by the robustness and functionality of an ammunition case, the chest is made of wood, with soft lining to offer protection to the contents. It’s fitted with a variety of compartments to house both the pen and its accessories, including auxiliary hardware for its continued maintenance: a pair of gloves, a set of tissues and spare ink cartridges.
