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.

The fit and finish is excellent, the weight and balance is perfect. And the nibs on the Leonardo pends is very smooth, even the fine is not “scratchy”. This is my 3rd Leonardo pen.

Mooie pen, speelse glimmertjes en toch ‘ernstig’ genoeg voor professioneel gebruik. Piston mechanisme voelt robuust aan. Zeer grote inktcapaciteit. Let op: het is een grote pen (ik heb het graag, maar niet iedereen) en er is géén inktvenster (ik heb toch altijd 3 pennen bij me, maar voor sommigen kan dit een no go zijn).
Stub penpunt (getuned door Appelboom): supersmooth. Durft te skippen op papier maar ik al wat veel met mijn handen aan gezeten heb. Zeer aanzienlijke lijnvariatie.
(Context: ik schrijf voortdurend met vulpennen en wissel af tussen een dertigtal pennen, de meesten nieuw, prijsrange Lamy t/m MB149, zeker 3/4 stubs)

A gorgeous pen with beautiful craftsmanship, the #8 Nib (M) is the smoothest writer right out of the box. Buttery smooth doesn’t do it justice. It easily competes with my grail pens for ink time. In fact, it is now in my grail pen category and has put Leonardo as my #1 Favorite Pen Company.

A beautiful pen – the subtle changes from the previous model are lovely and the colour shimmers in the light with real depth. It’s a joy to use and is a keeper! Appelboom are a wonderful company and their services, from ordering to delivery is exemplary – a huge thank you!
