Chaos was released in a limited edition of 1000 fountain pens and 912 roller balls in sterling silver. All appliqués are made by hand by first-class masters of Montegrappa. Transparent enamel brings us back to the twilight of antiquity, lizards and snakes on the barrel; to early forms of life on Earth. The clip handle is composed of a fist, a sword and skulls symbolising the philosophy of life, death and chaos.
