Montegrappa collections dedicated to travel and travelers

In a time where people are increasingly measured by 'influence', the enormity of Ernest Hemingway's legacy becomes hard to overstate. Indeed, Hemingway seemed to lead several lives, crafting an image as a master outdoorsman while creating many of the 20th century's most celebrated and enduring works.

 

 

 

Ernest Hemingway was one of the most innovative and influential writers, reporters and novelists of the 20th century, one who wrote, coincidentally, with Montegrappa pens.

 

The Montegrappa Hemingway collection pays tribute to his life's many layers. Hemingway: The Adventurer is its newest chapter: a tribute to the sights and sounds of Africa made in the same factory that supplied Hemingway himself in 1918. Unmistakably masculine, its hefty, ornamented casing houses a writing instrument built to document the things that matter.

 

 

The Hemingway Collection is divided into four chapter editions: "The Soldier", "The Writer", "The Fisherman" and "The Traveller". Each of these are embodied into a special pen, offered in the three models of fountain, rollerball and ballpoint pens. Each model in the four topics is a limited edition of 100 examples per mode. All pens in the series are produced in celluloid with Sterling Silver trim. In addition to the silver editions, 10 examples of each of the three pen types, in each of the four chapters, are trimmed with 18k Gold.

 

 

While many of us have curtailed the airborne lifestyles, hobby fliers continue to thrive in open, uncluttered skies. An aptitude for altitude, that Montegrappa celebrates with Aviator pens.

 

 

Aviator and Aviator All-Black Flying Ace are writing instruments from the Montegrappa Professions Series made to offer frequent fliers dynamic writing performance and first-class styling.

Detailed from nose to tail, Aviator is a sure-fire cockpit conversation-starter. Aerodynamic lines are found in a bullet-nose, light-body silhouette available in three writing modes.

 

 

From the tiny mock-rivets on its aluminium fuselage to a landing-gear clip and vintage flight-goggle case, every detail is an homage to the golden age of aviation.

 

 

Available in standard and special all-black finishes, soaring writing performance awaits. Emotions are triggered long before the act of writing begins.
