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!

That's the risk on these pens. Afortunatelly I was lucky this time.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
