Description:
Montblanc: Albert Einstein 18K white gold limited edition 99 skeleton fountain pen in the original numbered, lacquered case of issue: pen number 2 of 99 (although it appears that only 45 examples were put on the market), 2012. A reference to the chemical element E»EinsteiniumE¼ with the ordinal number 99, the limited edition is a masterpiece in design. Every detail brings to life the ground-breaking work that earned Einstein the Nobel Prizein Physics (1921) and such respect and admiration internationally. Crafted from 750 solid white gold, the body of this precious pen is covered with a skeleton net with a filigree overlay representing the space-time curve, Einstein's disruptive discovery that demonstrated how in his universe, space and time are no longer flat but can pushed and pulled, stretched and warped by matter. The filigree engravings on the barrel and cone of the pen reflect his most famous formulas, and the nib is enriched with the engraving of the chemical element E»EinsteiniumE¼ or E»EsE¼, a rare radioactive metal named after Einstein to honour his achievements. The penE¼s clip features a sapphire bowl of approximately 1.3 ct, while the iconic star-shaped Montblanc emblem carved out of moonstone, crowns the cap of this masterpiece.
