Description from the seller
Description: A Montblanc Limited Edition fountain pen from the 'Great Characters' series, made as a tribute to Albert Einstein (1879-1955), the German-born Swiss-American theoretical physicist, philosopher and author who is widely regarded as one of the greatest scientists and the founder of the general theory of relativity. As for the fountain pen, the platinum-plated housing of the Albert Einstein Limited Edition 3000 shines with the soft light of a distant star, while the dark blue lacquer on the cap evokes the velvet-darkness of the infinite universe. The lattice on the cap is inspired by Einstein's general relativity and curves around the platinum-gilded ball on the clip, just as the light from a distant object in space would be bent by a star or a galaxy in the foreground in what we nowadays call gravitational lensing. The housing is engraved with Einstein's principal formulas and the nib, crafted from 18-karat rhodium-plated gold, is engraved with the element bearing his name: Einsteinium. The fountain pen is supplied in the original box, a booklet, an unused Montblanc ink pot with blue ink in the original packaging, and a small hardcover booklet with Einstein's famous quotes.
