Montblanc’s latest limited edition masterpiece “Great Characters Limited Edition Leonardo” celebrates the genius of Leonard Da Vinci. Parts of the writing instrument are made of parts of an aircraft – anodized aluminium while polished platinum-plated fittings replicate da Vinci’s studies on wedge connections used to assemble two different materials in his constructions. The nib is handcrafted in solid 750 gold and rhodium plated. You’ll find drawings of a bat on the nib which reminds us that he studied their wings to develop his flying machine. The forefront of the pen is etched with his own sketch of a mechanical wing.
3,000 fountain pens and 3,000 roller ball pens are crafted for the Montblanc Great Characters Limited Edition Leonardo and will be available in Montblanc boutiques worldwide from November 2013.
