Montegrappa Limited Edition Batman

[Appelboompen]

Following the last Batman movie, The Dark Knight Rises, Montegrappa pays tribute to one of our greatest superheroes. This collection is part of the ‘’Cult’’ series.

 

Celebrating the legendary superhero created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger in 1939, Montegrappa has developped its most sophisticated hi-tech limited edition ever. Carbon fiber and steel forge an exclusive collection including fountain pens, rollerballs, watches and cufflinks.

 

Only 500 sets consisting of fountain pen (€3.900,-) or rollerball (€3.400,-) with matching watch and cufflinks. Fountain pens (€2.300,-) and rollerballs (€1.800,-) are also available individually, with a total number of 1939 pieces being produced.

 

The collection is available at the end of October.

Interesting pen. Better than some outrageous pens Montegrappa has produced of late.

 

I Like the black matte colour and basic shape, though the section is too narrow for my taste. But I could do with a pen like that without the bat references. I do enjoy the movies and liked the old TV-series and comics, but to pay that much money.... No Way.

 

A pen like this in the €300 range (like the NeroUno) would get my attention.

$$$$ on a gimmick!

I get home from watching The Dark Knight Rises and I see this post.... The section is a bit narrow, but otherwise I like the pen and the theme is done tastefully. Nice cufflinks too, though I'm not really a fan of the watch. I'm very tempted. Unfortunately the price puts it out of my immediate reach.

If it has to be bats, I'd rather grab a Danitrio Komori. :-D

How does it write?

The Danitrio also costs a bit less. But it's bats not Batman... http://www.sherv.net/cm/emoticons/halloween/flying-bat.gif

Montegrappa, legendary and beautiful, am I allowed to express despair?

An expensive line aimed at a fourteen year old audience priced so only a forty year old might be able to afford it.

 

Makes as much sense as the ST Dupont '007 series pens I guess. At least James Bond was meant to appeal to folk old enough to enjoy a martini.

The fanbase for Batman (and the other big comic book franchises) today is mostly adult geeks, the same people who are fans of other science fiction and fantasy genres. I see two main potential markets for this pen:

 

1. First alot of the younger FPN members (myself included) seem to be adult geeks, so there's likely to be a significant number of people who are both Batman fans and fountain pen users or collectors.
   
2. Second many adult geeks spend alot of money collecting merchandise and making or buying costumes. Thus it's likely at least some Batman fans who aren't (yet) fountain pen buyers will buy this pen.
   

 

And at least a few fountain pen collectors who don't care about Batman will buy this pen, either because they happen to like it, or because they buy everything Montegrappa produces.

Shame it was rubbish...

[Rubicon]

For that kind of price I expect something more exquisite. Forced to make a choice I would buy any of my pens that are under 1000 dollars (except for Lamy) all over again, instead of getting that one.

For 3900 euros you also get the cufflinks and watch. The pen on it's own is 2300 euros. Still well beyond of most of our budgets, I expect.
