Montegrappa Micra Charcoal Black Mechanical Pencil 0,7mm

Discover the Montegrappa Micra Collection, a distinctive family of compact luxury writing instruments that combines unmistakable Italian style with the craftsmanship of one of Italy’s most celebrated pen manufacturers. Designed for those who appreciate a smaller and highly portable writing instrument without sacrificing elegance or writing comfort, the Micra brings traditional Montegrappa craftsmanship into a charming miniature format.

Compact Italian Design

The name Micra perfectly reflects the philosophy behind the collection. Created during a period when miniaturization was increasingly influencing contemporary design, the Micra combines compact proportions with the traditional quality and attention to detail associated with Montegrappa. The result is a writing instrument that is easy to carry while still feeling substantial and luxurious in the hand. Period descriptions characterize the Micra as a blend of miniaturization and Montegrappa’s traditional craftsmanship.

Pearlescent Resin and Sterling Silver

The Montegrappa Micra was produced in a variety of beautiful colors, with richly pearlescent resin creating depth and luminosity across the body. These vibrant materials are complemented by elegant 925 sterling silver details, giving the compact design the luxurious appearance expected from a Montegrappa writing instrument.

Small in Size, Comfortable in the Hand

One of the defining characteristics of the Montegrappa Micra is its unusually compact size. The fountain pen and rollerball measure 110 mm when closed, while the fountain pen extends to 140 mm with the cap posted. Despite its miniature dimensions, the 11 mm diameter gives the Micra a comfortable presence in the hand. Period measurements put the fountain pen at around 22 grams.

The ballpoint and mechanical pencil are 105 mm long, making them even more compact and particularly convenient for carrying in a pocket, handbag or small pen case. Their weight is 23 grams, although minor variations can occur between individual materials and versions.

Multiple Writing Systems

The Montegrappa Micra Collection was available in several writing modes, including fountain pen, rollerball, ballpoint and mechanical pencil, allowing enthusiasts to enjoy the distinctive compact design in their preferred writing system. The fountain pen versions were fitted with an 18K gold nib, reinforcing the fact that the Micra may be small in dimensions but remains a genuine luxury writing instrument. Period examples confirm the 18K gold nib and cartridge filling system.

Traditional Montegrappa Craftsmanship

Made in Italy, the Micra reflects Montegrappa’s long tradition of combining expressive materials with skilled metalwork and distinctive design. Its small dimensions require the same attention to detail as a full-sized luxury pen, while the combination of luminous resin and sterling silver gives the collection an unmistakably Italian character.

A Collectible Montegrappa Classic

Today, the Montegrappa Micra is particularly appealing to collectors searching for discontinued and less commonly encountered Montegrappa writing instruments. Its miniature proportions, colorful materials and precious-metal details distinguish it from conventionally sized pens and make it an interesting piece of Montegrappa history.
