Warner Bros. Centennial is a luxury, handcrafted, limited-edition writing collection designed and manufactured by Montegrappa in conjunction with Warner Bros.

A century of unforgettable storytelling is the premise for a new, writing collection created by Montegrappa for Warner Bros.. It comes as the Hollywood institution celebrates 100 years of screen success in 2023, and sees the Italian luxury writing manufacture using sterling silver, bespoke componentry and meticulous craftsmanship to pay tribute to one of modern culture’s boldest, most popular storytellers;

The design of Warner Bros. Centennial uses iconography from the famous studio, including a 360º, gallery of its most enduring characters, stippleengraved on sterling silver. Among the figures featured are Harry Potter, Bugs Bunny and Willy Wonka – illustrating the studio’s timeless, cross-generational reach. The engraving technique used to realise each panel is time-consuming, but achieves luxurious contrast and patina, lending vintage overtones to contemporary graphics;

Warner Bros.’ notoriety behind the camera is another important reference in the playful design of Warner Bros. Centennial. The iconic, 133-foot (41 metre) water tower located at the Warner Bros. studio lot in Burbank, California inspires the edition’s pocket clip – custom-cast in silver – and elaborate handbuilt showcase for its display. Standing 32 cm tall, the desktop replica features a water tank that can be used to stow a bottle of ink or other paraphernalia;

Made for movie lovers in fountain pen and rollerball editions of 230 and 100 pieces, Warner Bros. Centennial is one of a select band of products to carry the Warner Bros. 100th Anniversary logo during this jubilee year. The centennial logo features on the edition’s cap top – cast to resemble a projector reel –and also appears on the 18K gold nibs fitted to fountain pens from the collection. On every example, a blank cartouche shaped like the Warner Bros. shield gives owners space for to engrave their name or initials alongside a rollcall of screen greats;
