Golf GOLD St.Moritz Summer Golf Fountain Pen

Everything that should be a postcard of Switzerland: elegance and sophistication, exclusivity, yet warmth and openness, symbolizes, like no other resort, St. Moritz. It is remarkable that the influence St Moritz has had on global consciousness, since it first welcomed skiers nearly 150 years ago, has grown to become a cinematic and literary destination for luxury getaways.

Montegrappa, the most respected writing instrument manufacturer in Italy, is pleased to announce that it has the honor of creating a series of pens honoring the Swiss resort – St Moritz, coinciding with the 2010 St Moritz Arts Masters. These events are a mutual fitting representation: of the town itself and the aura of luxury that surrounds the fountain pens and rollers.

As early as 1934, Alfred Hitchcock filmed the opening scenes of “The Man Who Knew Too Much” in this town. It was also a beautiful backdrop for the film made exactly 30 years later in the James Bond series: “Goldfinger” and for “For Your Eyes Only” in 1981. The most romantic musician, Peter Sarstedt, mentioned St Moritz among the elite places in his immortal song “Where Do You Go To My Lovely”. Its mere mention conveys the chic of the haute monde.

However, St Moritz offers much more than skiing, golf, and other forms of recreation. Each year the town welcomes art, famous exhibitions, seminars, walks, and other attractions. The 2010 St Moritz Arts Masters is an event taking place for the third time, from August 27 to September 5. The gathering of artists and collectors, experts and critics – is a rare opportunity to publicly enjoy art in all its aspects.

The representation of this event will thus be an excellent form of promotion for Montegrappa and the famous town, showcasing their exclusivity. An artist can use the tool - a pen - to display a work of art adorned with the visual representation of St Moritz. To decorate the barrels, Montegrappa's designer chose three historical posters to illustrate the wide range of attractions in St Moritz. Each image is hand-painted by artist Lorenza Straffi. The fountain pens are made from celluloid - an expensive material made from cotton fiber combined with natural dyes and mother-of-pearl, and then adorned with 18K gold sterling silver. In this limited edition, 8 fountain pens were made.

The detailed craftsmanship will ensure you comfort in use, and satisfaction with such an original and luxurious product, as Montegrappa's limited collections undoubtedly are.
