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.
