celebrated Indigenous People collection of limited edition writing instruments.

These detailed parts are cast using traditional “lost wax” techniques, polished by hand and finished with precious rhodium. Limited to 977 pieces of each mode, the collection includes a piston-filler fountain pen in gold or rhodium, and a cartridge/converter fountain pen, capped rollerball and twist ball pen, all with rhodium accents. Each piece is presented in a custom-designed collector’s box.

Leonardo da Vinci

2014-02-20T14:56:00.000+01:00

Leonardo da Vinci - a man of many talents, was not just a remarkable painter, sculptor and architect; he was a man of science and a brilliant inventor with a particular interest in the study of flying. Montblanc celebrates the genius of the great artist with its Great Characters Limited Edition Leonardo.

The cap and barrel of the writing instrument are crafted from anodized aluminium, a reference to the material now used to build todayʼs flying machines or aeroplanes. The polished platinum plated fittings are reproductions of da Vinciʼs studies for wedge connections, the shape on the cone refers to the double movement transmission conceptualized by da Vinci over 500 years ago and the red gold plated gear at the end of the clip is reminiscent of the many cogwheels the Italian master used in his designs.

Affectionate details inspired by the great Inventor Leonardo da Vinci.

This design is completed with the engraved nib with one of da Vinic’s famous drawings of a bat whose wings he studied, while the forefront of the pen is etched with his own sketch of a mechanical wing. A subtle reference to his practice of mirror writing gives the Montblanc emblem in precious resin which is unexpectedly concealed within the cap and its reflection can be seen in a mirror placed inside the cap top.

Graf Faber Castell Intuition Terracotta

2013-10-18T17:43:00.002+02:00

One of the nicest experiences in life is spontaneously doing the right thing when faced with a decisive situation. The new Intuition pens and pencils in the Graf von Faber-Castell series provide the opportunity to experience that in its purest form.

The gleaming polish of the precious resin barrel catches the eye immediately. The deep black radiates an intensity that gives these writing implements their unusual aura. This is accentuated in a most effective way by the platinum-plated ring at the end of the cap or front piece, discreetly engraved with the words "handmade in Germany". The barrel is elegantly shaped in a single piece: no screw thread interrupts its puristic form that ensures, in a masterly way, the highest degree of functionalism. One can tell intuitively from the gently concave grip that it will sit comfortably between the fingers.

Honorè de Balzac of Montblanc

2013-10-08T17:19:00.000+02:00

The Writers Edition 2013 pays tribute to the French novelist and playwright who contributed an opus of nearly 100 novels and plays to world literature of the 19th century - Honoré de Balzac.

Inspired by the Dandyism of the 19th century and the elegance of Balzac, the precious black resin and gray lacquer of the barrel, with its guilloché refinement, makes reference to the typical cutaway favored by refined Parisian gentlemen.

While the oversized shape of the pen mirrors Balzacʼs bold stature, the clip, embellished with turquoise lacquering on its top, symbolizes the author’s walking cane.

The platinum and gold-plated rings refer to the different classes that emerged in French society in the early 19th century - often a central theme in the works of Balzac. Furthermore Balzacʼs very own initials are finely lasered on the rhodium-

plated Au 750 gold nib.

Montblanc Heritage

2013-09-12T14:11:00.001+02:00

With an uninterrupted history of delivering innovation, this latest Montblanc evolution in writing manufacture skilfully combines elegance in design, traditional craftsmanship with a milestone in technology.

In the pursuit of setting standards of ingenuity, Montblanc master craftsmen have come together to explore new approaches in engineering and design. As part of this exploration, these experts have manufactured a mechanism that controls both the complex retractable nib movement and the piston filling functions with just one simple pull of the cone. Despite its intricacy, the elaborate two-step screw mechanism is ingenious in its simplicity.

With a cap and barrel in deep precious black resin, decorated with polished platinumplated fittings, the classic design of the Montblanc Heritage Collection 1912 is inspired by the original Simplo Safety Filler, the fountain pen that made portable writing instruments a practical reality. The white cap top crowning this masterpiece references the forerunner of the Montblanc emblem, introduced with the first safety fillers. The world famous Montblanc Star emblem that symbolises Montblancʼs commitment to highest quality and finest European craftsmanship, is encased in a dome of transparent resin covered with mother-of-pearl coloured lacquer.

The 585 solid gold and rhodium-plated nib has also undergone its own evolution. Crafted and polished by hand, it features a triangle shaped heart hole, specially designed for the Montblanc Heritage Collection 1912. Avant-garde in character, it delivers true personality to any style of writing, ensuring a soft writing experience.

Montblanc Ludovico Sforza

2013-09-07T10:38:00.002+02:00

The latest Patron of Art Edition, with its Solid Gold Limited Edition 888 and its Sterling Silver Limited Edition 4810 Fountain Pens, brings to life the splendour of the late Renaissance. Ludovico Sforza (1452 – 1508), a shrewd ruler and an ambitious diplomatist, had an insatiable passion for the arts transforming Milan into one of the most magnificent courts in Europe. Under the Duke’s patronage, Leonardo Da Vinci created his most famous works including the ‘Last Supper’ and the ‘Lady with an Ermine’.

The monumental Castello Sforzesco in Milan, home to the prestigious ducal dynasty is the inspiration for the Editions’ cap and clip design with its distinctive cylindrical towers. The writing instrument’s fittings replicate the pattern Da Vinci, used in his fresco in the “Sala delle Asse” or “Chamber of Boards”, as well as in the Mona Lisa’s robes and ornaments. The initials engraved on the cap’s ring originate from the “Testone”, a silver coin issued in honour of Ludovico Sforza during the Milanese Renaissance.

The blue lacquered cap and barrel of the Limited Edition 888 are embellished with Da Vinci’s pattern in dark translucent blue. The fountain pen’s solid gold fittings contrast with majestic blue lacquer, reflecting the vibrant colour of the ceiling fresco. Crowned with the distinctive Montblanc emblem in fine mother-ofpearl and with its cone adorned with the Duke’s coat of arms, this writing masterpiece is a

fitting representation of the magnificence of Sforza’s court.

Delta Napoleon

2013-08-13T11:14:00.000+02:00

As the Italian Lira fades into history and the Euro becomes the standard of currency, Delta honors Napoleon Bonaparte, Emperor of France and King of Italy as the person responsible for today's single, European currency. Delta is proud to present a collection of spectacular limited edition writing instruments honoring a brilliant historical figure. The Lira was originally called the Libbra. It was the Roman measurement of standard weight (325 grams or approximately 1 pound). Although Charlemagne transformed this into an abstract currency, it was Napoleon who envisioned a single currency for Europe. On May 6, 1807, Napoleon wrote to the King of Naples, "Brother, when you issue coins, I would like you to adopt the same valuations as in French money. In this way, there will be uniformity all over Europe which will be a great advantage for trade." The first Lira was coined in the Milan Mint in 1808.

Napoleon's efforts to create a common European currency died with him on the battlefield. The Lira became Italy's national currency after unification in 1860. The Lira's recent demise marks the true unification of Europe and the realization of Napoleon's dream.

The Napoleon is limited to 808 fountain pens and 808 roller/ballpens in sterling silver. Each pen is handmade from special resins, in either blue or burgundy colors, and are covered with hand carved precious metal sleeves portraying the most important events of Napoleon's life. The fountain pens in this very special collection, feature the first piston filling system in Delta's history. Now serious pen enthusiasts can write a little world history of their own.

Sailor Bengal Tiger

2013-07-03T11:27:00.000+02:00

An endangered species is a population at risk of becoming extinct because changing environmental or predation parameters threaten it.

Extinction of individual animal and plant species is a natural phenomenon but is greatly accelerated by the impact of Man on the environment and on the varied natural habitats.

In some countries there are laws forbidding unsustainable hunting, fishing, logging or land development projects and some have special reserves established for the threatened animal groups. Many species have or will become extinct without gaining public notice.

Extinction of a species impacts the ecosystem they are part of this in turn impacts the goods and services influencing and contributing to our health and well-being – breathable air, clean water, food, medicines, energy, climate regulations, transport and recreational values.

In many instances the increased global awareness of the various species in danger has reduced the risk of extinction and the various Wildlife and Environmental agencies involved in all countries are continuing to identify, protect and preserve the species recognised as being in greatest danger.

Sailor Pen would like to recognise all the efforts of the many agencies concerned with the preservation of the natural heritage of our constantly changing planet Earth.

We are proud to introduce the“Endangered Species - Mammals” collection of several special of animals, endangered in one-way or the other.

Each of the collection of three species will be made in only 88 pieces available worldwide. Hand decorated by master maki-e artist Koshyu Nishihara these individually numbered writing instruments will be available with the 21K solid gold nib.

Following on from the success of the ‘Giant Panda’,and the ‘African Elephant’ the final species to be introduced is the Bengal Tiger – ‘Panthera Tigris’.

The Bengal Tiger is found primarily in India with smaller populations in Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, China and Myanmar. There are fewer than 2500 left in the wild. The average length of the mature male

Is 3 metres (including the tail) and the weight of the male can be up to 220Kg. The Tiger is a carnivore preying upon various forest and grassland animals. They have a ‘feast or famine’ hunting style and are known to eat up to 40Kg of meat in one sitting. They live predominantly solitary lifestyles, the mother and cubs being the main observed family grouping.

Unfortunately the species remains seriously threatened by poaching, retaliatory killings and serious habitat loss due to competition with human populations and changing climatic conditions.

India has created special Tiger reserves which have helped stabilise the populations. Many Bengal Tigers live in the mangroves of the Sundarbans – located between India and Bangladesh, which are increasingly threatened by the rising sea levels due to Climate change.
