Leonardo Momento Zero Grande - Golden Rule.

Recommended Posts

I would like to introduce you my last Leonardo fountain pen: The Leonardo Momento Zero Grande Golden Rule. This a collaboration with J.Brooks, who made this beatiful resin, where bronze and red are mixed to create a fusion of warm colors. Limited edition to only 70 pieces worldwide.

 

The first time I saw this pen I fall in love due to the red parts among the bronze style resin. After seeing the feed, made out of red ebonite... that was the end of my piggy bank. I got it at "Fontana Penna" in Spain.

Now that it has arrived to me, I have been deeply impressed by it and I could not be more happier. That cap, with so much red on it, makes this pen unique to my eyes.  I have to admit it was definitely a great purchase.

 
Thanks to Leonardo & Carolina pen company for making this beautiful fountain pen.

@pomperoperoCongratulations on your new Leonardo MZG Golden Rule! The material is so nice. It reminds me of a certain celluloid that Omas used in their vintage pens during the 1930s (black and bronze celluloid), but more fresh and modern because of the addition of red. Nice little detail of the red ebonite feed too! May I ask which wrench did you use to open the piston unit please? Is it proprietary or compatible with any current pen models of other makers? It's great to see that this is a true piston.👍 Thank you for sharing!

It is serendipity too that the end of the piston knob has an area of red, which balances the red on the cap. I didn’t realise that this material had red in it, as this wasn’t noticeable for me in the marketing photos. I think you were lucky with yours.

That is a beautiful pen and I'm trying very hard not to be too jealous 😊

 

I thought I'd ordered one of the first release Primary Manipulation 4 MZGs but alas, it was not to be.  If I'd thought the colours in the Golden Rule would be as gorgeous as they are in yours, I might have chosen that one instead.  

 

Enjoy your new pen.  Now I need to decide whether to try again for one of the second batch models!

Thanks for you kind words. I agree with you, the resin is nice. 

I used a wrench to open vintage Montblanc pistons. The same one opens Auroras mechanism as well.

 

Hope you will find this information useful.

I feel so. I believe this is an unique pen. This rare patern makes it unique.

Very neat pen.  The only thing that makes me hesitate with the PM's is the uniqueness of the material and you don't know what you'll get until you see it.  Glad you got one you like!

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
