Description
The Momento Zero Grande is slightly larger compared to the Momento Zero. The name Momento Zero, absolutely evoking, exactly means a new beginning, a start from scratch; the first pen made by a new company, based on experience and passion of a strong team. The Leonardo Momento Zero collection is inspired by the Italian vintage style, worldwide known; it’s a classic pen, well balanced with size and metal trims. The Momento Zero Grande has a smaller clip compared to the Momento Zero as a reference to the clips the Italian pen companies used in the 1930s.
The fountain pen has a #6 sized 14kt gold or stainless steel nib in different widths (Extra Fine, Fine, Medium, Broad and Stub) the feed is made of ebonite. As an option the nib can also be obtained in a #8 sized nib. The Momento Zero Grande uses a built in piston filling mechanism with a capacity of 1.5ml.
And the story goes on… A family tradition. Leonardo Officina Italiana is a forge, a laboratory where experience and craftsmanship are mixed giving life to “pleasure”, the pleasure of writing.
Over 45 years of experience in the field of writing instruments, handed down from father to son, from generation to generation. Today Leonardo Officina Italiana works on emotional and vintage projects, taking up the old loading systems, the materials and the working techniques that once characterized the craft of the craftsman. The Leonardo pens have a soul, a human warmth that only passion can give. The fountain pen carved into the material is certainly this detail that differentiates us on the world market. Each Leonardo collection is hand made in Italy.

This pen is huge. It is larger than other large pens I have. But I do not find it uncomfortable in the hand and it is easier to use unposted than my normal size MZ. The Resin is gorgeous. Deep and swirling. I love looking at it. The price may seem steep, but it is well worth it for a wonderful pen like this.

I can’t stop writing. I wanted a pen that had a good design. This pen writes smoothly (I bought gold nib, F) and the flow of ink was like a streaming river. The more I jot my ideas, the more I smile. Appelboom has been a great store and has kept me informed about my purchase throughout the whole process. Would definitely recommend for any avid fountain pen user

A wonderful fountain pen from Leonardo in a stunning resin. This was both my first Leonardo and my first purchase from Appelboom.
The service was first class. A smooth transaction, excellent communications and updates and the pen arrived well packaged and elegantly wrapped.
Overall I think it was an absolutely excellent service from Appleboom and I have since made two additional services (selecting the free nib tuning service each time!)
Many thanks Joost and Team

A beautiful pen in every aspect. Love the deep blue color with some grey swirls that look like sand in turbulent sea. Every time when I want to use this pen, I can literally stare at the pen for minutes before I remove the cap and start writing. The fine steel nib is stiff but still very smooth on paper. The only drawback is the lack of ink window. If you like dark blue color you may want to consider this pen.

Why did it take me so darn long to purchase this amazingly beautiful and well made fountain pen? I don’t know, but I’m sure glad it is in my hand now. The Dark Blue Hawaii resin is just mesmerizing to look at. The gold trim makes it just pop. I had AppelBloom custom grind a petit stub nib similar to an Esterbrook Journaler nib and it writes amazingly well. I am just so tickled with this pen purchase. Thank you, Joost and Leonardo Pens!

This is my second LMZG. The timeless beauty of this pen is mesmerizing. It is a very beautiful pen, finished to perfection, solid and comfortable in the hand. The ebonite feed and the nib (I think it is a Jowo nib) behave smoothly and perfectly well. You can use it everyday if you want and its large ink capacity makes it very reliable.

The pen is very beautiful and greater. It is very comfortable to writing. 1.5ml Ink capacity can be write for long time.

The pen materials are so beautiful and tactile, no photo could actually do it justice. Even the shape of the feed, with it’s visible curve, has been shaped in a way that ties the whole look together. The section diameter is especially nice for anyone who enjoys the comfort of a large pen. I do wish all Leonardo pens went through an extra layer of Quality Control before being shipped to the customer. I have 3 different Leonardo pens and all of them arrived with slight alignment issues, nib to feed. Such a shame for such an otherwise perfect pen! That is why I give 4 stars. I believe I will get optimum performance from my pen after it is aligned, although it writes well as it is.
