Introducing the Montegrappa Lord of the Rings Doom Red Limited Edition Fountain Pen: a handcrafted, luxury writing collection designed and manufactured by Montegrappa in partnership with Warner Bros. This exquisite, limited-edition pen is crafted from sterling silver and 'Montegrappite' artisanal resin, and pays homage to the dense, mythological tale and its cinematic adaptation. The Lord of the Rings: Doom is a Collector’s Edition reissue of Montegrappa’s sold-out The Lord of the Rings edition, released in 2019. Part of the maker’s Cult Series, this new limited-edition collection re-envisions the original design with colours and finishes that recreate the menace and magic of Mount Doom – home to the Dark Lord Sauron. It features more than two dozen artefacts from the big-screen trilogy sculpted into an elaborate external sheath, before being piece-plated with ruthenium and yellow gold. All ornamental metals used in the creation of this pen are made using the traditional jeweller’s art of lost wax casting, a Montegrappa house specialty. The sterling-silver sheath on The Lord of the Rings: Doom is fitted around a hand-lathed core of Montegrappite artisanal resin. A unique blend of this proprietary material was created especially for this edition using a process that allows Montegrappa to create nuanced, lava-like textures, while eliminating much of the material and energy waste associated with conventional industrial acrylics.
Adapting external design codes to the shape and functional demands of high-performance writing instruments requires special expertise and extensive prototyping. The process of design and development for Montegrappa’s original The Lord of the Rings edition lasted more than two years.
The Lord of the Rings: Doom is issued in limited collector’s editions of 137 fountain pens. This pen is fitted with an 18K gold signature nib, and ink can be refilled using Montegrappa’s ratcheted piston system. With its intricate details and impeccable craftsmanship, the Montegrappa Lord of the Rings Doom Red Limited Edition Fountain Pen is a truly stunning piece that is sure to become a treasured part of any writing collection.
