Quentin Tarantino
Quentin Tarantino, one of the most famous directors of our time, is as fascinating as he is controversial. His works have revolutionized the film industry and his personal stories are often the stuff of legend.
With his impressive career, he has shaped the face of modern cinema. He has set new standards with unique stories and stylistic peculiarities. His films are characterized by cleverly interwoven narratives, distinctive characters and an intense use of dialogue.
The best-known Tarantino films include “Pulp Fiction”, “Kill Bill” and “Inglourious Basterds”. These films are just a selection of the works with which Quentin Tarantino has celebrated worldwide success.
“Kill Bill” contains some of Tarantino's most interesting and well-developed characters, especially the complex and strong protagonist The Bride (Uma Thurman). The film embodies Tarantino's distinctive style with stylized violence, dialogue-heavy scenes and an homage to martial arts films.
The yellow and black overall, which Uma Thurman first wears as a motorcycle suit and later as a tracksuit, is a replica of the suit worn by Bruce Lee in My Last Fight, his last and in his time never completed film, is the iconic element of Tarantino's Kill Bill perfectly transferred to the writing instrument.
This yellow and black color combination, which is reminiscent of the warning colors of dangerous insects, was specially recreated in synthetic resin for this edition.
The shape of the writing instrument is formed by hand from this solid resin block. Particular attention has been paid to important details, such as the ring-shaped protective padding of the suit.
Engraved and inlaid with red lacquer are the personal symbols of the swords of Beatrix Kiddo and Bill, which serve as references to the revenge epic.
Another important element is the samurai sword Katana, which was specially made for Kiddo's Revenge by the legendary sword master Hattori Hanzō.
The tsuka (the handle) was covered with real ray skin and tightly wrapped with imitation Japanese silk.
This lower end of the clip symbolizes the characteristic wrapping technique with a pattern that was engraved by hand and then lacquered.

Master of Art Nouveau
Hector Guimard
Hector Guimard (1867 - 1942) was a French architect and designer and an important representative of Art Nouveau. Giumard achieved early recognition with the design of a residential building, the “Castel Béranger” in Paris. For the first time, a large residential building was built in Art Nouveau style. In a competition, the façade of the building was chosen as one of the best in the city. As a result, the Paris metro company commissioned Guimard to design the city's metro entrances in 1899. The canopies and entrances made of glass and iron with elegantly curved lines and ornamental motifs from nature helped Guimard achieve world fame and contributed significantly to Paris becoming the center of Art Nouveau.
The limited edition “inspired by : Hector Guimard” is a tribute to Art Nouveau and the beginning of modernism. With its floral ornaments and fine details, this fountain pen is a timeless piece of elegance whose design reflects the exciting contrast between the rich formal language of Art Nouveau and understated modernism.

Silver Arrow - where does the name come from?
In 1934, Mercedes-Benz designed and built the W 25 in compliance with the new racing regulations.... so they believed.
Mercedes racing manager Alfred Neubauer told the story in an interview:
"The evening before the race, the cars are weighed and - found to be too heavy. According to the new formula, the Silver Arrows are only allowed to weigh 750 kilograms - without fuel, cooling water, oil and tires. But when the mechanics push the car onto the scales, they show 751 kilograms. What to do? The race is tomorrow."
By chance, Neubauer and his driver von Brauchitsch came up with the idea of sanding off the lead paint.
"The mechanics spend the whole night sanding the beautiful white paint off our Silver Arrows. And when they come back to the scales in the morning - they weigh a hair's breadth of 750 kilograms."
Bare, shiny silver aluminum was uncovered. And with that, a name and a legend were born: the "Silver Arrow". A few simple steps led to the launch approval and at the same time to an ingenious PR idea that continues to this day. Since then, the Silver Arrow and the color silver have been synonymous with fast high-performance, racing and production vehicles in motorsport.
Manfred von Brauchitsch's subsequent victory in the Eifel race at the Nürburgring marked the beginning of a new era. At this time, only Auto Union was competitive with its racing cars and drivers. In the years that followed, the two sides engaged in fierce competition.
The design of the W 125 formed the basis for the W 154 and other successful Silver Arrows.
