Ladies and gentleman, Montegrappa's Icon Series
presents the David Bowie limited-edition fountain pen and rollerball. David Bowie fans count among the most passionate communities of aficionados and collectors and sense a deep attachment to his artistry and mystique. Beyond this tight-knit community, Bowie-themed products are often highly regarded by fashion customers. Curated releases from several brands in recent years have enjoyed high exposure in fashion/lifestyle media. Many have a predilection for reporting and sharing David Bowie news.
12 June 2021 is Record Store Day, an occasion where music fans and collectors support independent music retail by buying rare and exceptional releases. Montegrappa will be announcing the release of David Bowie to coincide with Record Store Day, and request that distributors and dealers also observe this date as a focal point in all dealings with the public and media. David Bowie is the 11th subject in the Montegrappa Icons series. Previous musicians honoured in the series have been Frank Sinatra (2011), Elvis Presley (2013), Quincy Jones (2014) and Queen (2019). David Bowie is the lowest-denomination edition created thus far, and is sure to sell out quickly.
Since his dramatic death only two days after the release of his final studio album, David Bowie's claim as one of the most iconic artists of the modern age has only strengthened. The limited-edition David Bowie is ultra-modern, designed in the album's sparse, futuristic visual style. Cap, trim and clip are structured from black ruthenium-plated brass, while the barrel and custom section are carved from black, high-density acrylic. All surfaces are embellished with diamond- and laser-engraved grids, glyphs and motifs created by designer, Jonathan Barnbrook.
Both modes are available in a continuous limited edition of 801 pieces (400 RB + 401 FP), with all nibs and tips embellished with the artist's lightning-bolt logo. The edition numbering refers to 8 January: David Bowie's birthday and the release date of his final work. Fountain pens are piston-fed and fitted with a 6mm, ruthenium-coated 18K nib (EF, F, M, B, BB, STUB) with a black ebonite feed. Deluxe custom packaging continues the artistic theme of the album, with a die-cut star viewing panel. The package is designed for free-standing and wall-mounted display, and is equipped with a recessed mounting rack.

A Special Limited Edition of Only 75 Fountain Pens!! Nettuno of Italy, whose grand history in pen manufacturing dates to 1911, has presented Fountain Pen Hospital with an elegant collection of fountain pens to honor our 75th anniversary. Nettuno, named after Neptune, the Roman god of the sea, hand-crafts their writing instruments in Naples, Italy, by Maiora Pens, managed by the co-founder of the Delta Pen Company. The 75th Anniversary fountain pen has been hand-turned from a special acrylic resin capturing the hues of the Italian coastline, in a melange of lustrous blues and purples reminiscent of celluloid. The rhodium plated barrel decor features two hand-cast rings of Roman arches in high relief. The iconic Nettuno clip complements the rings with its Trident detail, also in high relief. Each pen bears its unique limited edition number and the inscription: Fountain Pen Hospital 75th Anniversary . The large, German stainless steel No. 6 Nib is beautifully engraved with the Nettuno 'N' with 1911 beneath. Available in nib widths of Fine, Medium and Extra Fine, the fountain pen is filled via international cartridge, or bottled ink with Nettuno's superior piston converter supplied. Nettuno's lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects accompanies each pen in its elegant gift box.
