2019 marks the 50th anniversary of NASA landing on the Moon. It represents one of mankind’s greatest achievements, defining the USA as the victor in the space race. Inspired by the Apollo 11 mission that delivered astronauts to the lunar surface, Montegrappa has reproduced the iconic Saturn V rocket, interpreted as a writing instrument. The Moon Landing limited edition collection, developed in a licensed collaboration with NASA, is made in white pearlized resin with Sterling silver trim, adorned with enamel to reproduce a three-dimensional trompe-l’oeil effect of the rocket body’s First, Second and Third “stages”, and it is offered as a limited edition of fountain and rollerball pens. The Moon Landing fountain pen is piston-fed, and its nib is crafted in 18k gold. By turning the bottom part of the pen barrel sideways, the Saturn V pen opens up its mid-section, to reveal its inner filling mechanism, augmented by a lunette-aperture showing the ink inside.
