Monteverde Regatta Harlequin Fountain Pen – Fine Point – NEW in Box. Monteverde is proud to Introduce their Regattas with Harlequin design. They numbered the collection 888 but only made 188 fountain pens and 88 rollerballs. Originating from the patches adorning the costume of the witty and mischievous harlequin character in 16th-century Italian theater, this pen pays homage to the iconic contrast of black and white, capturing the essence of sophistication and artistic finesse. The harlequin pattern, characterized by diamond-shaped motifs, was once symbolic of the harlequin’s status as a servant. Originally, the harlequin’s costume consisted of a peasant’s shirt and long trousers, both covered with vibrant colored patches, reflecting his playful nature. Over time, this attire transformed into a tight-fitting costume adorned with triangles and diamond shapes, embodying the harlequin’s enigmatic charm and evolving character. In the spirit of this rich tradition, the pen’s design is a celebration of sharp lines and intricate patterns. The meticulously crafted black and white harlequin motif adorns the pen’s body and cap, creating a mesmerizing interplay of light and shadow. The pen’s sleek form is a tribute to the harlequin’s legacy, embodying a sense of mystery and style. Being offered in two modes – 888 fountain pens and 888 rollerball pens, this limited edition is highlighted by the magnetic closure system that adds a touch of practicality. Effortless capping and posting redefine the writing experience, ensuring seamless transitions between creativity and practicality. The balanced weight of the pen enhances the writing journey, offering a comfortable grip and effortless strokes. This limited edition pen captures the transformative spirit of artistic expression in black and white. Mirroring the exclusivity of celebrated creative movements, it stands as a testament to the beauty of contrast and harmony. With every stroke, it reimagines the harlequin’s legacy, inspiring both creators and enthusiasts alike. Monteverde Regatta Harlequin Fountain Pen Specifications. Limited Edition of 188 pieces.
