The Tribute Collection came
into existence as a result of Montegrappa's desire to pay a tribute, a
homage, to the contemporary world. It takes its inspiration from
anniversaries and dates of particular importance and universal
significance. Montegrappa is celebrating these great events and great
individuals of the history and culture of our time through its high
quality craftsmanship and its vocation of transforming the pen into an
object by means of its skill in enhancing the smallest surfaces with
miniaturised decoration of the highest merit. In particular, for the
Tribute Collection Montegrappa is using a new technique of low-relief
engraving, even more capable of transforming the surface of the pen into
three-dimensional volumes through which the scenes and symbols depicted
emerge with evocative depth and extraordinary richness of detail.
Living Harmony is the first
creation part of the new "Tribute collection". Montegrappa with
its new "Tribute collection" offers a new winning proposal to
the market: a Limited edition of high quality, precious materials, care in
details at a very competitive retail price, perfect for those who intents
to celebrate important anniversaries of historical or cultural events,
famous personalities ...with luxury and innovation.
Living Harmony
Montegrappa on the occasion of the 40th Anniversary of the foundation of
the Singapore Republic pays tribute to this country and to its
"Living Harmony": "a democratic society based on justice
and equality so as to achieve happiness, prosperity and progress for the
nation". Since it became independent it has undergone an impressive
metamorphosis; among the factors which have made this economic miracle
possible and which make Singapore a model to be imitated is certainly the
peaceful coexistence of so many races and so many religions.
Chinese, Malays, Indians
and immigrants from Europe and America enliven a multiracial society whose
most significant symbol is represented by the coexistence of religious
buildings which elsewhere are seldom seen in harmony together, such as the
Muslim mosque, the Christian church, the Indian temple and the Chinese
pagoda. This "living harmony" has inspired the pen on which
barrel the four religious buildings, in a depiction which recalls the
image of a notable mural, are low-relief engraved.
The Orchid
Singapore's National Flower is the Vanda Miss Joaquim, an orchid hybrid.
It was first discovered in Singapore in 1893 and it became the National
Flower in 1981.
