Vertu Marengo Fountain Pen

Estimated dispatch: around 20 October 2026. 

A collector’s writing instrument, sculpted from the stories of East and West.

Marengo brings two cultural visions together in a writing instrument made to be held, used and remembered. Its sculpted horse-head cap evokes the strength and artistry of the West, while the turning tailpiece recalls the blessing ritual of the Tibetan prayer wheel and the spirit of the wind horse.

A story in every detail

The horse’s sculpted form, flowing mane and single zirconia detail give the cap a distinctive presence. Along the barrel, hand-finished detailing carries the movement of the wind; at the tail, a precision-threaded turning element makes the act of writing feel like a personal ritual.

Made for considered writing

The gold-coloured fountain pen is crafted from gold-plated brass with zirconia accents and fitted with a custom German SCHMIDT precision writing system. Its 0.5 mm nib is designed for clear, composed writing, from correspondence to an important signature. Fill it with a converter or ink cartridge.

Standard Edition
Created for everyday writing and collecting, the Standard Edition features a gold-plated brass body accented with zircon details. It is fitted with a custom German-made SCHMIDT nib, offering an approximately 0.5 mm writing line, and supports both a converter and ink cartridges. It measures approximately 152.8 × 14.1 mm and weighs around 80 g. A gift box and notebook are included.

Bespoke Edition
Created for collectors seeking exclusive craftsmanship and precious materials, the Bespoke Edition is custom-made with gold and diamonds. Product specifications list approximately 143 g of gold and 183 diamonds. Each pen is made according to the bespoke design, with an estimated lead time of around 60 days.

Care

Keep the pen capped and store it in its case in a cool, dry place. Wipe gently with a soft cloth and avoid direct contact with perfume, alcohol and hand sanitiser. Use quality fountain-pen ink; rinse the feed with clean water every two to three ink fills and allow it to air-dry.
