About the Montegrappa Avanguardia Series: Nicolaus Copernicus Watch &
The Montegrappa Avanguardia Series: Nicolaus Copernicus Watch & fountain pen set celebrates the first European scientist to propose that Earth and other planets revolve around the sun. The 550th anniversary release encompasses 550 fountain pens and rollerballs, including a 55-piece numbered Reserve Edition comprising a fountain pen and a companion wristwatch.
Polish-born Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543) is known as the father of modern astronomy. Copernicus's heliocentric theory of the solar system contradicted the beliefs of astronomers, philosophers, and religious leaders of his time. A Renaissance polymath, Nicolaus Copernicus's findings weren't widely accepted until approximately 200 years later, and even then, they remained banned by the Catholic church until 1835.
The Montegrappa Avanguardia Series: Nicolaus Copernicus fountain pen is crafted almost entirely of sterling silver (the only exception being the black and white celluloid grip section). The lost wax casting technique was used to create the two central elements: a custom ruzzolino clip depicting mathematician’s compasses and a working reproduction of his celestial globe on the cap top. Both featured elements replicate objects included on Copernicus’ official monument in front of the Warsaw Polish Academy of Sciences.
Additional design details are created with low-relief engraving, with vermeil depicting the sun on the pen's lower barrel at the center of the eight orbiting planets hand-detailed in opalescent enamel finishes spaced along the length of the pen barrel and cap. Traditional Slavic cross-stitch patterns are showcased on the pen's blind cap and cap band, and Copernicus's signature is included on the pen's finial. The Montegrappa Avanguardia Series: Nicolaus Copernicus fountain pen uses a piston filling system and is fitted with a #6 18kt gold nib (available in varying nib sizes). The beautiful fountain pen nib is customized with Copernicus's likeness and the earth orbiting the sun.
Each Montegrappa Avanguardia Series: Nicolaus Copernicus fountain pen is packaged in a custom walnut pen display case with an acrylic lid offering a view of the stunning pen and matching timepiece.
Fountain pen numbers 1-55 are featured with the exclusive 42mm stainless-steel/titanium watch. The Avanguardia Series: Nicolaus Copernicus Watch features an Italian-made automatic OISA 1937 movement with a power reserve of up to 60 hours. Its custom dial features a solar system schematic and Copernicus’s signature surrounded by a deflector marked with the zodiac signs. Traditional engravings on the case replicate those included in the fountain pen design.
