Description
Self-assured
elegance and incisive performance converge on Tiger by Montegrappa. Crafted
entirely from sterling silver, subtle variations of depth bring the king of
beasts vividly to life. Created using engraving techniques perfected over more
than a century, Tiger combines artisanal complexity with sartorial simplicity:
reflecting the confident, outgoing style of those born in the Year of the
Tiger. Two-tone, 18K gold nib Watching tiger in high relief Antiqued, tiger
tail clip Low-relief, perpetual stripe Diamond-engraved patterning
Sterling-silver body Individually numbered Subtle low-relief engraving ripples
in the light, calling to mind the characteristics of the Water Tiger. A
perpetual tiger-stripe camouflage envelops barrel and cap A protector against
evil, the watchful tiger is realised in startling, high-relief detail. His
striped tail channels boldness through a custom-cast pocket-clip
Diamond-engraved knurling evokes the mountainous terrain that connects the
habitat of the South China tiger to Montegrappa’s alpine home and legacy of
geometric precision Released to mark the Year of the Tiger, this small-batch
silhouette is available as a limited edition of only 100 pieces
Italy's first pen
producer, Montegrappa, began manufacturing pens in 1912 in its factory in
Bassano del Grappa in Italy. Utilizing natural celluloid and precious metals, Montegrappa
combines traditional methods such as die-casting with more recent innovations
as low-relief engraving to form their precious art objects. Whether Montegrappa
use colours reminiscent of the master painters or ornamentation suggestive of
Baroque palaces, the Italian heritage and romance is infused into each product.
