The Monteverde Ritma™ collection is inspired by the minimalist movement of the 1960’s and 70’s, where clean lines, straightforward designs and beautiful colors within work were the most prominent. Machined to perfection using a mixture of steel and aluminum, the Ritma™ boasts a streamlined design from magnetic cap top to back post, perfect for those who prefer a well balanced and heavyweight pen.

Each aluminum barrel is anodized in a metallic color and treated with a matte finish, resulting in a muted pop of vibrant colors that are soft to the touch and beautifully accentuated with polished gunmetal accents. The clip is designed to match the straight lines of the body style with an extra flair, the center cut in an elongated oval shape for ease of use.

An exciting feature of this minimalist pen is the magnetic cap and posting, so secure and perfectly designed to the pen it creates a seal. No need to twist off, gently pull and enjoy the striking pop-action sound of the seal opening, then post to the back to experience the secure magnetic seal there as well.

This green fountain pen comes with a standard international converter and an ink cartridge.

This fountain pen is offered with your choice of a reliable, smooth-writing German made JoWo #6 black steel nib in extra-fine, fine, medium, broad, 1.1mm stub or the new JoWo Omniflex flexible steel nib for variation in line width. With six nib options, you are sure to find a selection to fit your handwriting style.

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.

Great ink flow

I got an omniflex nib. Not the smoothest of nibs but really great ink flow which is good for me because I pause a lot whilst writing. Rarely has a problem on starting. It’s heavy which was distracting at first but I’m used to it now and I have small hands. I like the magnetic cap. I’ve been using it for a month or so with no problem.

Happy at first, quickly disapointed.

I like a lot about this pen. I was pretty happy . However within a week the magnetic cap feature just stopped functioning. I have to be very mindful now when I put the cap on to make sure its secure. It's honestly completely ruined the pen for me.

Surprisingly good!

I've really enjoyed using this pen, its well suited to my hands. It is a bit heavy for some, probably but I prefer that. The ink flow with some inks can be a bit heavy and may bleed through if you're a slower writer on lighter paper, but it writes BEAUTIFULLY. I got the Fine nib, and I wish I had gotten the EF, but again, that's just my personal preference. I've been out of the fountain pen realm for a few years and had forgotten how much I liked EF nibs

Mostly nice

The pen fits nicely in my hand. The 'Omni-Flex' requires a considerable amount of downward pressure to flex (I have 2 pens; they downward pressure varies between them). I do not like the magnetic cap (last time I'm buy one of these).

A great pen for the price

This pen is sturdy, writes flawlessly, has a very large in reservoir if you purchase the converter and looks great. I have it with a Fine nib and I love the way it writes. It is a little bit bigger than other pens I've used, but I have large hands so that is a plus for me. Smaller hands my find continued use to be tiring. Overall great pen for the $40 price tag.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use this pen with ink cartridges? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

A cartridge is small, disposable, sealed plastic reservoir that holds fountain pen ink. These come pre-filled with ink, and typically you just push to insert them into place and you'll be ready to write!

This pen uses standard international ink cartridges, a common size which is available in many colors from various brands.

You can learn more about how to actually install an ink cartridge on our blog, or in this video tutorial:

How do I use a converter? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

A converter goes in the place of where the ink cartridge would normally go. From there, you can fill your fountain pen from bottled ink.

A converter is a detachable and refillable ink reservoir that allows you to use bottled ink in a cartridge-accepting pen. Typically you will install the converter into the grip section, dip the nib/feed into the ink, and twist or pull the converter knob to draw ink into the converter.

We have a great video showing how to use a converter here:

How do I clean this fountain pen? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

It mostly comes down to flushing out the pen with water, and sometimes a little bit of pen flush if the ink is really stuck. 

We put together a blog post with step-by-step instructions, or you can watch the video here:

We recommend a good cleaning every 2 weeks, and any time you change ink colors. Water will usually do the trick, but we recommend you use our Goulet Pen Flush if the ink has been left in the pen for a while and could have dried up, or when you’re switching ink colors.

For even more information about fountain pen cleaning, check out our Fountain Pen 101 video blog post.
