Some novels enter the history of literature and, at the same time, come to symbolise an entire era. "The Great Gatsby" by F.
Scott Fitzgerald is one of those jewels of modern American literature. Published in 1925, the novel paints a fascinating portrait of the Jazz Age and the Roaring Twenties, a time of unprecedented wealth and excess. The bustling city of New York, the sumptuous mansions of Long Island and the lavish high-society parties provide the backdrop to the story of Jay Gatsby, a mysterious millionaire who will stop at nothing to win back the lost love of his youth, Daisy Buchanan.
The style adopted by the elite of the time has become a fashion classic for successful businessmen – and the inspiration behind this writing instrument. The pinstripe pattern of the cap, in black and white precious lacquer, harmonises with the barrel in black precious lacquer. The apparent power of money is symbolised in this edition by the platinum-plated clip in the shape of a money clip.
Its rounded opening shines with Jay Gatsby's initials in the form of a gold-coloured rhomboid Art Deco monogram. The myth of the American dream and the design of the often elegant flasks of the Art Deco period are evoked by the cone that imitates the engraved screw cap of a flask and the fine rings in the colours of the American flag that surround it. The Montblanc emblem crowning the whole is in mother-of-pearl, a material whose iridescent colours and shimmering brilliance inspired some of the most elegant creations of Art Deco jewellers.
