The Montegrappa Hemingway Old Man and the Sea. It is a tribute to heroism. The Old Man and the Sea is a stylistic and thematic departure from the Montegrappa Hemingway collector series (2016-2020). While past editions dealt with the author’s life, this newest creation pivots to the plot of one of his most iconic stories: the fictional account of the plucky fisherman, Santiago, and his epic struggle to bring a giant marlin to shore.
Written in Cuba, The Old Man and the Sea was the last volume of fiction published during Hemingway’s lifetime, and many – including the author – have called it as his finest work. After premiering in LIFE magazine’s 1 September 1952 edition, it earned Hemingway the 1953 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. Limited to only 70 pieces per writing mode on two tiers reference the 70th anniversary of this prestigious award.
Lost wax casting and hand-enamelling capture the central elements of Hemingway’s story. A carved cap and blind cap represent Santiago’s skiff in kotibé mahogany, while enamelled segments depict sea and sky – providing a backdrop for the edition’s centrepiece. Inspired by early editions of the book, a full-length sculpted silver barrel dramatizes the fisherman’s struggle with the marlin.
Further detailing includes a silver fishing-rod clip, sculpted trim rings, an engraved grip section and a high-relief cap top brandishing Hemingway’s game-fishing monogram. On the lower barrel, translucent ocean-blue enamel reveals sculpted detailing beneath: the ocean’s currents and the sharks who torment Santiago’s attempts to return to shore.
