A Timeless Masterpiece for Fountain Pen Enthusiasts

As an avid fountain pen enthusiast, I was excited to purchase the Leonardo Momento Zero Grande Art Deco Green and Gold with a broad (B) nib. This pen, known for its classic elegance and contemporary craftsmanship blend, promised to be a standout addition to my collection. After using it extensively, I am thrilled to share my thoughts on this exceptional writing instrument.

The Leonardo Momento Zero Grande Art Deco Green and Gold is a pen that exudes exclusivity. Crafted from high-quality resin in a rich, deep green hue, the pen is beautifully complemented by luxurious gold trim. The intricate tone of the resin ensures that each pen is a unique masterpiece, making it a one-of-a-kind piece. The pen’s design is both classic and distinctive, reminiscent of vintage fountain pens with its slightly tapered shape and rounded ends. The modern materials and finishes keep it grounded in contemporary aesthetics, making it a perfect statement piece for any collection. The pen feels solid and well-balanced in hand. The resin material is polished to a high sheen, and the gold-plated trims are flawlessly executed. The pen’s ergonomics are excellent. It fits comfortably in both smaller and larger hands, thanks to its lighter and balanced weight and size. The section is slightly concave, providing a secure grip even during extended writing sessions. Despite its larger size, the pen is well-balanced and does not cause fatigue, making it suitable for daily use.

The broad (B) nib on this pen is a pure joy to use. Made of 14k gold, the nib is beautifully decorated with the Leonardo logo and intricate scrollwork. Upon first use, the nib glides effortlessly across the paper, laying down a generous and consistent line of ink. The broad nib is perfect for showcasing the shading and sheen of high-quality inks, making it ideal for those who appreciate expressive writing. The nib's performance is smooth, with just a hint of feedback, providing a pleasant tactile experience. There was no skipping or hard starts, even with fast or light-handed writing. The ink flow is consistent and generous, resulting in a luxurious writing experience.

The Leonardo Momento Zero Grande features a piston-filling mechanism, a preferred choice for many fountain pen enthusiasts. The piston filler allows for a substantial ink capacity, reducing the need for frequent refills. The filling mechanism operates smoothly, and the transparent ink window on the barrel provides a clear view of the ink level, ensuring you’re never caught off guard by an empty pen.

The Leonardo Momento Zero Grande Art Deco Green and Gold is positioned in the higher-end segment of the fountain pen market, and it delivers on its promise of luxury and performance. The combination of exquisite design, superior build quality, and excellent writing performance makes it a worthy investment for any serious pen collector or enthusiast. While it is not an inexpensive pen, the craftsmanship and materials justify the price. It stands out as both a functional writing instrument and a beautiful piece of art. For those who appreciate the finer things in life and are willing to invest in quality, the Leonardo Momento Zero Grande is an exceptional choice that will not disappoint.

In conclusion, the Leonardo Momento Zero Grande Art Deco Green and Gold with a broad nib is a masterpiece of Italian craftsmanship. It excels in aesthetics, build quality, and writing performance, making it a standout addition to any fountain pen collection. This pen will impress and delight whether for daily use or as a collector’s item.

Finally, the green ink in the box is a surprise with its viscosity and harmony with the pen.

The pen is fantastic. It looks stunning and even better than the pictures. The green / gold is a great combination and looks great with a range of inks.

Fontoplumo and Frank were also fantastic, and I would go out of my way to buy from them again - they were that good.

Having struggled to decide which color Art Deco MZG 2021 to purchase I made my choice and received my pen from another retailer, when I heard about this stunning Fontoplumo exclusive. i ordered the Green/Gold with the Elastic Fine nib. It certainly is a stunner; it writes superbly; it feels great; and the ordering process was as smooth as can be. I'll definitely add Fontoplumo to my retailer web visit rotation when I'm looking to unload future pen cash. :)

If these pens are still available and you're considering it, I'd jump on it now. 50 pen limited edition and it's a lovely pen!

I was lucky to find this Leonardo Momento Zero Grande Art Deco. Buying this pen from literally the other side of the world (Indianapolis, IN) was as good or better than buying it locally. Frank responded promptly to my questions and had the pen shipped shortly after the "nib whisperer" finished his work on the nib. Creating a Smooth Cursive Italic from a Leonardo Elastic Fine is not for timid craftsmen. Bruce did a fantastic job. The whole experience of purchase and delivery was handled with superb attention to detail. Long and productive life to Fontoplumo and to Frank.

Just got today the Leonardo MZG Art Deco Green & Gold. Stunning pen, I have no words to describe how gorgeous it is. I wanted an Art Deco pen and I liked the green exclusive Fontoplumo one better than the other colours. And I was right to make that choice. I got the M size nib, which for Leonardo's gold nibs is more like the F size. It writes beautiful and smooth. As for Fontoplumo and Frank, it is simply a pleasure doing business with them. Ordered the pen two days ago and I already got it (in Romania). They are for sure one of the best fountain pens store worldwide. Thank you, Frank!
