“Lawyers can steal more money with a briefcase than a thousand men with guns and masks.”, said Don Vito Corleone – head of the New York crime family in the Godfather novel. As we believe pens to be mightier than swords, what better way to celebrate Francis Ford Coppola’s highly acclaimed trilogy of films than a limited-edition luxury pen?
The Jacob & Co is renewed for its innovative timepieces and high jewelry, joining the backgammon sets, humidors, spoons, diamond dice, and clutch purses; the brand has now introduced a limited-edition pen of the Godfather pen accompanying its Jacob & Co Godfather Astronomia Tourbillon watch made in 2019. The Godfather Astronomia Tourbillon has a music box integrated into the rotating movement with a triple-axis tourbillon. It recently raised $450,000 for charity in Capri, Italy, for Unicef.
Similar to the themes in Mario Puzo’s novel and movie adaptions of immigrant families and their life- designer Jacob Arabo is a Russian immigrant. He is highly successful in the jewelry industry. The designer has created two versions – a Red Celluloid Fountain Pen and Black Rollerball Pen, featuring hand-crafted 18k Rose Gold highlights that contrast against the robust finishes.
The design of the pens focuses on the iconic elements related to the franchise – the rose, the bullet, the barrel, and the movie poster with the puppeteer strings. The bullet chamber cap top and a three-dimensional red ruby rose sits at the base of its cap. Each of these stunning pens comes in a collectible presentation box that beautifully stores and displays the one-of-a-kind masterpiece. Call attention to detail, and the pends have been manufactured by Italian premium pen manufacturer Montegrappa – incorporating the Italian roots of the movie’s central characters. With an 18k gold nib and a piston-filling mechanism, these magnificent pens are limited to only 499 examples. The ballpoint version uses dark Charcoal Celluloid with contrasting trim from rose gold plated silver for the understated charm. If you have about ten thousand dollars lying around, it’s an offer you just can’t refuse!
