Produced in limited editions of 333 fountain pens and rollerball, the Imperial Year of the Dragon combined Eastern mythology with European writing tradition to offer performance verging on the supernatural. Its fusion of precious metals, stones and craftsmanship puts all the essential elements of flow within your grasp.
Crafted from sterling silver, the intricate artwork is produced using fibre-laser engraving, creating ultra-high-definition features in every contour. The perfectly proportioned 360-degree ‘full-body tattoo’ effect offers a striking crispness and contrast, which is heightened by oxidation and satin brushing.
Each writing instrument features a 2mm, AAA ruby set into the pocket clip: an allusion to dragon’s blood to unleash the imagination. Channelling the dragon spirit is the design’s central concept. The fountain pen is fitted with a custom 8mm ‘hungry dragon’ nib in 18K gold, ebonite feed and Montegrappa’s patented 32-tooth piston-fill mechanism.
