Following the recently released Eye of Sauron: Middle-earth, The Lord of the Rings: Doom introduces new materials, new finishes and a sinister mood to the familiar form of our debut Limited Edition model. The release of this reconfigured design rides on resurgent interest in the Tolkien universe in anticipation of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, premiering worldwide on Prime from 2 September 2022.

Made in sterling silver only, the collection comprises 137 fountain pens and rollerballs respectively: a reference to the 1.37km (4,500ft) height of Mount Doom. Besides the narrower edition scope, key differences from the original design are the addition of a fiery Montegrappite core, as well as ruthenium and yellow-gold plating on all-silver componentry. The result is richer in colour and demonic intent, channelling the menace of Mount Doom – the location where the Ruling Ring was both created and destroyed.

As before, dominant artisanal techniques are lost wax casting and enamel painting (on the resin eye), and the design includes a full-scale gold-plated One Ring and green cubic zirconia. The fountain pen features a 6mm 18K gold nib (EF, F, M, B, BB. Stub 1.1) customised with the monogram of J.R.R. Tolkien. A bottle of black ink is supplied. Custom packaging features some stylistic modifications from the earlier edition, including a new booklet and certificate in a lacquered wooden cast.

The limited-edition Montegrappa Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation: Ocean Collection signals the beginning of an important new partnership with the environmental organisation led by H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco. Montegrappa Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation: Ocean Collection is as regal and intriguing as its name suggests. Its unorthodox design combines heritage luxury values with brazen environmental messaging, and is made from dark-blue celluloid, cubic zirconia and two qualities of sterling silver.Trims are realised in polished silver, including a striking clip modelled on King Neptune’s trident. Satin-finish sterling silver is used for the barrel and for the main body of an elongated, deep-profile cap. The silhouette’s unique cap/barrel configuration revives the proportions of 2013’s Genio Creativo: Salvador Dalí. But on this occasion, its purpose is functional. Each component is engraved with Victorian maritime illustrations. On the cap, fibre-laser engravings depict pristine seas and the foundation’s clean-oceans vision. The barrel appears similar but reveals a more sombre reality on closer inspection. The artistic contrast is arresting and draws a parallel between writing instruments and the fight to stem the flow of ocean waste. Further points of interest include parabolic cubic zirconia affixed to each end. Inspired by deep-sea exploration, they symbolise the need to look beneath the surface, while magnifying the foundation’s logo and the edition number. Rollerball and fountain pen options are issued in editions of 300. Fountain pens are cartridge/converter-fed, and are fitted with an 8mm, 18K gold custom nib (EF, F, M, B, Stub 1.1) and ebonite feed. Custom packaging is a stained-blue wooden case with foil-emboss. A bottle of blue ink is included with fountain pens, and each case contains a plaque inscribed with the foundation’s call to action.
