About

Montegrappa

For more than a century, a family company nested in the Italian Dolomites has remained relentlessly curious about the magical relationship between paper and the human mind.

Since beginning our quest for perfection in 1912, we have watched words become devalued by abundance. ‘Progress’ has often come at the price of substance and truth. Far from representing a suspension of progress, Montegrappa pens exist so that those who value words may savour the luxury of slowing time down.

Many of our friends and rivals delight in portraying pens as relics of days gone by. With the greatest of respect, we beg to differ. Whereas others purport to be guardians of tradition, Montegrappa remains committed to the tradition of continual innovation.

Take a journey through some of the landmark moments that have shaped a century of defying conventions.
