A family tradition forges ahead. Over 45 years of experience in the field of manufacturing writing instruments, handed down from father to son. Leonardo Officina Italiana draws upon the past to craft a vintage style pen with warmth and beauty. Dedicated to the pleasure of writing, the Momento Zero collection represents a new beginning.
Turned from a solid bar of acrylic resin, the weight and feel of the Momento Zero is well-balanced in hand. The bottle-neck grip section provides ample comfort for long writing sessions. The wheel clip attaches easily to your pocket or pen case. The pen is large enough to write unposted. For those that prefer to post their cap, the Momento Zero posts securely on the back-end of the pen. You may opt to fill the pen with the converter by removing the section from the barrel or you may access it by removing the blind cap from the barrel as well. Although this pen is not a limited edition, each pen is individually numbered with the brand engraving.
In 2021, Leonardo relaunched the ever-popular Momento Zero with a thinner, vintage-style wheel clip, three-ringed cap bands, and a PVD laminated stainless steel nib unit made by Jowo (Germany). Using a technique reserved for high-end watchmaking, the nib's finish is protected from wear and highly saturated inks.
Aloha: a word from the Hawaiian language with multiple meanings. Generally, the word Aloha is used as a greeting but, more importantly, as a good wish. In the Italian language it could be rendered as "Buongiorno," "Benvenuto,"or the more informal "Ciao." It is not only a word used for good wishes but also indicates, in Hawaiian philosophy, a true state of well-being. A status of well-being, however, is to be understood as a profusion of good feelings: affection, sincere kindness, benevolence, and charity. All good attitudes go to form the Aloha Spirit. The Aloha's marbled acrylic is reminiscent of Hawaii's beautiful vistas filled with a compassionate spirit.
