Add to Wishlist

Moctezuma I was crowned ruler of the great Aztec Empire in 1440, thereby ushering in the golden age of the Aztecs. During his reign, which lasted for nearly thirty years, he shaped the image of the Aztec state that we are familiar with today – a state rich in culture and mythology. This edition is made of Au 750 champagne-tone gold and the cap, which is set with diamonds, garnets, green tsavorites and multicolored sapphires, is decorated with an artistic 3D model of the winged Huitzilopochtli. The symbolic eagle and cactus engraving represent the founding myth of the Aztec capital, Tenochtitlán. This artwork is framed by two double-headed snakes. The atlatl inspired the design of the cap with its thread-wrapped handles. The spear-shaped clip, refined with an engraving of a quetzal’s feather, is crowned by triangular-cut green jade (nephrite). As a reference to the highly mythologized sacrificial rituals of the Aztecs, the barrel is made of dark red precious jasper. An Aztec sacrificial knife was the inspiration for the shape of the Au 750 solid gold cone, which is treated with a special hammered-like finish. The handcrafted Au 750 solid gold nib is adorned with a fine engraving inspired by the Aztec glyph representing the heart. A further glyph, engraved on the forepart, represents the second name of Moctezuma I: Ilhuicamina. The barrel reflects the Templo Mayor in its four stepped gold bands. The cap top is crowned with a Montblanc Diamond embedded in an engraving inspired by an eight-rayed Aztec sun disc.
