Inspired by a pattern that has endured for centuries.
Built from precision-machined stainless steel and anodised aluminium, the pen features finely engraved barley guilloché, providing both grip and a tactile texture. Featuring a beautiful black mother of pearl crown insert.
Carefully balanced for everyday writing, it feels refined, reassuringly solid and comfortable in the hand.
A smooth, hand-polished Schmidt nib and carefully engineered construction create a writing experience that feels effortless.
A pen built to last.
