In 1999 Monteverde USA® was founded in Canoga Park, California USA with the intention to create writing instruments that feature unparalleled quality, function, and affordable luxury.
A true classic, the Innova™ is one of the first (in a long line of) innovative pens to be designed under the Monteverde USA® name. This Innova is made of Fiberglass, a reinforced plastic material composed of fine glass fibers woven into fabric or used as strands, then combined with resin to create a strong, lightweight, and durable composite. It is widely valued for its strength, versatility, and resistance to environmental factors, making it a popular material across numerous industries.
Advantages of Using Fiberglass in Pens:
- Lightweight yet durable – Stronger than plastic while being lighter than metal, offering a balanced feel.
- Corrosion-resistant – Unlike metal pens, fiberglass won’t rust or tarnish over time.
- Temperature resistant – Doesn’t get too hot or cold like metal pens, making it comfortable for long writing sessions.
This is a Goulet Pens-exclusive special edition release in the color ruby!
A stainless steel nib is individually hand-fitted to each fountain pen, intricately cut for maximum performance. Stunning and sleek, each Innova has the perfect flair, whether it is for a formal occasion, business, or casual setting.
The Monteverde Innova fountain pen is offered with your choice of a reliable, smooth-writing German made JoWo #6 silver steel nib in extra-fine, fine, medium, broad, 1.1mm stub, or the JoWo Omniflex flexible steel nib for variation in line width.
Our note about the JoWo Omniflex nib: This flex nib will allow you to experience more bounce and softness than writing with conventional nibs. You can achieve some line variation with a little additional downward pressure, to a point. We recommend flexing the nib to about twice the line width that you would see without using any pressure. Please take care to avoid pressing too hard on the nib, as over-flexing could prevent the tines from returning fully to their original position and decrease or stop your ink flow.
It fills via standard international converter or ink cartridge, both of which are included.
