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 thin, vintage-style 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.
Removing the cap with one full rotation reveals the PVD-laminated stainless steel nib made by Jowo (Germany) with an ABS feed and housing. Using a technique reserved for high-end watchmaking, the nib's finish is protected from wear and highly saturated inks.
Pura Vida is the new iconic pen of the collection “Momento Zero”. A kaleidoscope of colors inspired by Costa Rica, the green of its rain forests, the blue of Caribbean sea, the brown of its volcanos and roasted coffee beans. The meaning of Pura Vida is “pure life,” and it’s come to symbolize the simple, cheerful outlook and lifestyle of Costa Rica. More than just “pure life” in its literal translation, Pura Vida is a lifestyle, a feeling, a perspective, encapsulating how people cherish life's simplest pleasures and find joy in the little thing. Like the philosophy of Pura Vida you will find the pleasure in little things by writing your story and enjoying the pen gliding across paper.
