Montegrappa makes an emphatic return to classical opulence with the opening stanza from the new
Greek Mythology collector series. A new episode in luxury commences with
Odyssey Chapter I,
Resin core material contributes to aesthetics with
its neutral marble colouring and elegant Corinthian fluting. On a silver
grip section, Greek fret engraving provides delicate detail above a
vermeil logo band. The design’s use of two-tone
contrast is reinforced on fountain pens, where a
?6mm 18K gold nib
depicts Greece’s
supreme god in yellow gold. Piston filling is operated by a fluted blind
cap with a decorative disc.
Editions of 266 fountain pens and rollerballs correspond to the value of the word ‘?????’ (Greece) in ancient isopsephic numerology.
Custom packaging is suitably dramatic:
Odyssey Chapter I is concealed within a Trojan Horse model,
secured in a magnetically affixed section
to be removed and used as a
desk stand. Odysseus’ most famous creation is intriguing and impactful
in wood and contains a document drawer. Accessories
include a vegan leather pen pouch and, for fountain pens, a
custom-engraved bottle of ink.
