Tibaldi By Montegrappa Da Vinci Code Limited Edition - Sterling Silver and Black Resin with Gold Plated Sterling Silver trim Fountain Pen
The Da Vinci Code Limited Edition Sterling Silver Fountain Pen by TIBALDI is an opulent work of art adorned with high precision engravings of Leonardo da Vinci’s iconic Vetruvian Man, multiple locations from the movie (St. Sulpice Cathedral, the Eiffel Tower, the Arche de Triomphe and the Parthenon) and a series of cryptic codes and symbols including a five pointed star, phi and fleur de lis.
Deciphering the letters and symbols, which decorate the pen’s cap, reveals the words which, in the story, enable the cryptex to be opened.
Number 320 of 618 Limited Editions
618 Limited Editions were made reflecting the divine proportion and the phi coefficient according to which they have been meticulously designed and constructed.
Ornament
Designed to be immediately recognizable as TIBALDI, the ornament is one of the distinctive features of the pen. Richly engraved with the suggestive symbol of the rose (embedded into a silver/gold frame), also characterizing the lid of the cryptex box, with a square section at the top, gradually tapering to the round ring at its base.
Tibaldi Da Vinci Code Fountain Pen Nib
The Da Vinci Code Sterling Silver Fountain Pen’s striking nib is solid 18K gold, partially rhodium plated and engraved with the movie’s official logo (DVC). Rhodium is only applied outside the contours of the logo, requiring the skill of an experienced goldsmith. The iridium point is welded to the gold and shaped according to the writing grade desired.
Patented filling mechanism
The mechanical precision and reliability of TIBALDI’s innovative filling system resembles the winding mechanism of a high quality watch. An international patent (MI2005U 000449 - Fountain pen with “perfected” filling mechanism) has been secured for this unique filling mechanism.
The cursor for producing the snap rotation runs along a toothed surface. The number of teeth of the bushing, 32, is a multiple of phi, 1.618. Rotating the blind cap, when filling the pen, has the same sound and feel as manually winding a watch crown. What’s more, the mechanism applies a slight resistance to rotation, avoiding brusque movements at the bottom of the pen reducing the risk of accidental leakage. The ink level may be checked via a transparent window on the barrel. The unique filling mechanism has a tank that holds a generous amount of ink (0.9 ml).
