Montblanc pays homage to The Great Gatsby with this limited edition 1925 rollerball pen, part of their celebrated Great Characters collection. F. Scott Fitzgerald’s 1925 novel "The Great Gatsby" is an icon of modern American literature that has come to symbolise an entire era. It paints a captivating picture of the self-indulgence and the unprecedented affluence of the Jazz Age and the Roaring Twenties in New York City. The opulent and high-society parties of Long Island are the stage on which the story of Jay Gatsby is told. Gatsby is a mysterious millionaire who is driven by the pursuit of Daisy Buchanan - the lost love of his youth. The style of this era's elite became classic fashion. The design on the cap of this exquisite rollerball pen therefore takes its influence from pinstripes, created using precious black and white lacquer, with the barrel in simple precious black lacquer. The platinum-coated clip of the pen is shaped like that of a money clip, and in the space between you can see the initials of Jay Gatsby as an Art Deco monogram. Both these details are included to symbolise the apparent power of wealth. Both the cone - which resembles the engraved screw cap of a flask - and the rings in the colours of the American flag illustrate the myth of the American dream that is a theme of the novel. The pen is crowned with the iconic Montblanc snowcap emblem, created using mother-of-pearl, and inspired by the grand designs and elegant creations of the period's jewellery. This striking limited edition 1925 Great Characters Homage to The Great Gatsby rollerball pen will be presented inside a Montblanc The Great Gatsby presentation box, and will be accompanied by a 2-year international warranty/guarantee booklet filled out on the day of purchase.
