Churchill Heritage “THEIR FINEST HOUR” · Classic Black · Fountain Pen

The Churchill Heritage Conway Stewart Collection

这是 Conway Stewart Churchill Heritage 钢笔第二系列中的第六款,与 Churchill Heritage 合作出品——Churchill 家族借此将资金捐赠给各类慈善机构及公益事业,以延续 Sir Winston 的传奇及其笔下箴言的智慧精神。

"Their Finest Hour"

1940年6月18日,于下议院(House of Commons)发表这场演讲——彼时法国战役(Battle of France)已然战败,不列颠之战(Battle of Britain)即将打响——这是 Sir Winston 一生中最坚定、最果决的言辞之一。这场演讲为国家迎接即将到来的严峻考验注入力量,并以那句不朽名言作结,也正是这支钢笔名称的由来。笔杆上镌刻着 "THEIR FINEST HOUR"。其下是 Winston S Churchill 的签名,再下方镌刻着"Made in Great Britain"字样。

The speech

“What General Weygand called the Battle of France is over. I expect that the Battle of Britain is about to begin. Upon this battle depends the survival of Christian civilisation. Upon it depends our own British life, and the long continuity of our institutions and our Empire. The whole fury and might of the enemy must very soon be turned on us. Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this island or lose the war. If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be free and the life of the world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands. But if we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science. Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, ‘This was their finest hour.’”

成色与规格

此款钢笔采用隽永的Classic Black配色,搭配9ct 金环饰,尽显低调雅致。配备18ct 金笔尖。宽版9ct 金笔帽环上钤有英国检验印记(British Hallmarks),以证明其纯金成色,并附上介绍英国检验印记历史的说明册。

另有 Bordeaux 配色及宝珠笔款式可选。

随书附赠——Winston Churchill: Blood, Toil, Tears and Sweat — The Great Speeches

每支钢笔均附赠这部广受赞誉的演讲集,收录 Churchill 最著名的33篇演讲——从1901年他在下议院的首次演讲,到1955年的告别演说,其间贯穿他战时气势恢宏的雄辩辞章。正如 Sunday Telegraph 书评所言,Churchill 是天才的文字大师,这部文集堪称一部精彩绝伦的选集。

The "Pug"

每支传承系列钢笔笔帽顶部均镌刻着标志性的"Pug"图案,这是 Winston 在1909年8月1日写给妻子 Clementine 的信中所绘的草图。Clementine 常唤 Winston 为"my sweet pug",他也常在写给她的信末随手画上几只活灵活现的帕格犬——这一只头顶写有字母"W",与人们常联想到这位伟人的斗牛犬形象颇为神似。每支钢笔均附有这封1909年手写信件的复刻件。

Winston Churchill 的红色内阁公文箱

每支钢笔均装于 Winston Churchill 红色部长级公文箱的复刻箱内——这是英国政府部长用以携带官方文件的箱子。箱盖上镌有他的另一句名言:"I have always earned my living by my pen."。箱内以泡棉内衬妥善固定钢笔、一册Blood, Toil, Tears and Sweat — The Great Speeches、一瓶绿色墨水,以及 Churchill 1909年写给 Clementine 的手写信复刻件,信中可见他的亲笔字迹与"Pug"草图。

全球限量100支

该系列中每句箴言仅制作100支钢笔。每支钢笔均附有证书,详细注明其编号,笔杆末端亦镌刻相应编号。

延续传奇记忆

每支钢笔销售所得中相当一部分将捐赠给 Churchill Heritage,用以资助各类活动与教育项目,使 Sir Winston 及其箴言的记忆得以世代延续。
