Introducing the Montegrappa Nicolaus Copernicus Limited Edition Fountain Pen, a masterpiece of fine craftsmanship and a tribute to the scientific genius of Nicolaus Copernicus. This limited edition pen commemorates the 550th anniversary of his birth and is available in a limited release of only 550 fountain pens and rollerballs, making it a truly exclusive and sought-after writing instrument. Crafted entirely from sterling silver, except for its black and white celluloid grip section, this pen is a timeless masterpiece of design and engineering. The intricate details of the pen, such as the engraved constellation pattern on the cap and the barrel, pay homage to the discoveries and accomplishments of Copernicus.
As the father of modern astronomy, Copernicus revolutionized our understanding of the solar system by proposing the heliocentric theory that the planets revolve around the sun. This groundbreaking discovery, which challenged the beliefs of contemporary astronomers, philosophers, and religious leaders, would not become widely accepted for over 200 years. The Montegrappa Nicolaus Copernicus Limited Edition Fountain Pen is a celebration of this scientific pioneer and his contributions to the world. Each pen is numbered, making it a true collector's item, and comes with a companion wristwatch in the Reserve Edition, limited to only 55 pieces.
Low-relief engraving provides further ornamentation, with vermeil depicting the sun on the lower barrel at the center of eight orbiting planets hand-detailed in opalescent enamel finishes and distributed across the length of the barrel and cap. Each enamel application results in different finishes that give every pen its own unique character. Traditional Slavic cross-stitch patterns decorate the blind cap and cap band, while Copernicus’s signature is presented on the finial.
The fountain pens are piston-filled, with a 6mm, 18K gold nib customized with Copernicus’ likeness and the earth orbiting the sun. Custom packaging is supplied via a walnut display case with an acrylic lid that provides a view of the pen.
Whether you're a lover of history, or science, or simply appreciate fine craftsmanship, the Montegrappa Nicolaus Copernicus Limited Edition Fountain Pen is a must-have addition to your collection. Make a statement with this unique and exclusive writing instrument and pay tribute to one of history's greatest scientific minds.
