Bronze Fountain Pen Mayan Calendar Montegrappa

In Mayan culture, the ritual significance of the calendar was very important; it defined the meaning and order of the world, determining the place of the entire community and individual members within the universe. The Mayans created an empire, developed agriculture, astronomy, and architecture. They conducted astronomical observations and were interested in the movements of the Sun, Moon, and stars. A proud symbol of Italian style and creativity, Montegrappa, through a new series from the limited edition writing instruments collection Mayan Calendar, seeks to honour the civilisation for its successful cultural contributions to humanity.

It's striking, but for many years scholars believed that the Mayan Calendar predicted the end of the world on 21 December 2012. Whatever the assumption, it turns out there is still time to enjoy the exclusive Limited Series by Montegrappa, dedicated to the Mayan calendar. Considering the time constraints that inspired Montegrappa, the pen is - naturally and truly - a limited collection.
On the surface of the decorated pen, distinguishing it from others, are engraved images of Mayan gods and patterns reflecting Mayan architecture. The pen clip itself is very expressive - a sword used by Mayan priests offering sacrifices to the gods. All fountain pens in the collection are equipped with a built-in piston filling mechanism by Montegrappa. The cap activation, which engages the piston, provides the same sensitivity of winding as the movement of a mechanical watch. The nibs are made of 18-carat gold and a glorious ebonite feeder. Most components of the pen are decorated using the "lost wax" method, with detailed hand finishing. The cap and barrel in the gold version of the pens are also hand-engraved.
Available in silver or solid 18K gold, both versions are finished with transparent enamel and an innovative full bronze version. Created by the Mayans with 360 days, divided into 18 months of 20 days each, the silver and bronze versions will be offered in limited editions of just 360 fountain pens and 360 rollerballs. The Gold version will include only 20 fountain pens and 20 rollerballs. The Mayan Calendar collection also includes cufflinks in a limited edition of 360 in silver, 360 in bronze, and 20 in solid 18K gold.

The cultural heritage developed by the Mayan civilisation forms the monumental foundations of today's buildings, astronomy, and art. Montegrappa, inspired by the spirit of civilisational development, has crowned their achievements with a truly luxurious pen.
