Description

”To know that we know what we know, and to know that we do not know what we do not know. That is true knowledge.” - Nicolaus Copernicus

Part of Montegrappa's tribute to revolutionary thinkers - Avanguardia Series, the first fountain pen is dedicated to the great Renaissance astronomer born in 1473 - Nicolaus Copernicus, who placed the sun at the center of everything, a silent, tactile reminder to remain constantly curious about the world around us.

Issued 550 years after his birth, the limited edition fountain pen is available in 550 pieces, with 55 fountain pens in a Reserve Edition coming with a companion timepiece in the box. A beautiful writing instrument that displays the placement of planets on our solar system and on top of the cap we have a skeleton globe with a gold core spinning on all axes.

The 8 individually planets orbit around the central solar body in vermeil, illustrating Copernicus heliocentric theory. Signature, handmade castings reproduce the instruments found on the Copernicus Monument in Warsaw.

An Object to Own More Than to Write With

I purchased this Gravitas Twist (Grade 5 titanium) and wanted to share my thoughts.

• The tip shows zero wobble while writing — the build feels extremely solid.
• The twist mechanism has a clear rotational feel, but it reads more as a “push” motion than a gadget-like click. There’s no satisfying tactile snap in the hand, so this may not suit everyone’s taste.
• The coating’s color is beautiful and pairs especially well with a leather pen case — I really like this combination.
• The center of gravity sits fairly high, giving a sense that the pen swings a bit while writing. Those with smaller hands may find this top-heavy balance noticeable.
• This feels less like a pen optimized for writing feel, and more like an object meant to be enjoyed simply for how it sits in the hand.
• Being titanium, it’s light, yet the rigidity is very pronounced — well suited to those who write with a heavy hand.
• The coating feels extremely durable; I’d expect it to resist both discoloration and scratches over time.

Great feeling in the hand, do not love the nib.

I love the feel of this pen. I am a fan of a pen that feels like it has heft. The Sentry in copper absolutely fits the bill. Unfortunately for me, I find the nib to be a bit challenging in terms of flow. A bit of a search tells me this isnt ridiculously uncommon and there are various things to try to fix it. I've ordered a new nib separately. While there are other steps I could have gone through to try to resolve, it seems like a problem I shouldn't have with a brand new pen.
Still 4 stars because everything about this pen is magnificent.

First Leonardo Momento Zero

Its a exquisite pen to use.

Fantastic Pen!

I wanted to drop a quick note to say that the Titan Slim Line is a very impressive pen and wonderful to write with! I started with a medium nib, which I quickly realized wasn’t what I really wanted as this pen felt like a daily writer, so I replaced the nib with a standard Jowo fine that perfectly screwed right in. The fit and finish are extremely nice on the pen! It really feels like one solid piece since the clearances between both the screw down finial and the metal to acrylic sections of the body are so finely machined! I really love the micro grooves in the section that give it a very pleasant feel when writing. The exceptionally smooth filling mechanism and the amount of suction produced is class leading in my opinion. Some will feel the price is too high due to no gold nib, but I’ll say the pen puts gold nibbed pens with basic acrylic bodies and converters in second place to me. Finally, Pen Venture had the pen to my house in the US in less than a week, including of course, a lovely hand written note. I suggest buying this pen if you are on the fence and seriously considering it if you are looking for a unique and beautiful new pen.
