 8th March 2010: I have
just added the beautiful Visconti Art collection to me
website. A distinctive and unique collection
inspired by different cultures and different ages. The
Ellenic pays tribute to Ancient Greece. The body and
cap of the pen is made from sterling silver in a fluted
design that was inspired by Doric columns. The Art
Nouveau has a sterling silver olverlay on jet black
lucite and harks back to the style of the 1900s and
1910s. The Art Renaissance has a black lucite cap and a
filigree sterling silver barrel that resembles the
knights' chain mail armour. See the complete Visconti
Art Collection here.

 20th February 2010: The
Airpress is a new release from Tombow. Did you ever
try to write for a long time horizontally or overhead
with a normal ballpoint pen? Gravity and the lack of
pressure in the ink refill made this impossible. The
Tombow technicians addressed this problem and in a
complex series of tests they developed with the
AirPress Pen a worldwide patented technology. One
„Click“ and internal mechanism pumps air
into the ink refills and averts the backflow of the
ink. The result: The AirPress Pen stays ready for use.
Always and everywhere. The perfect attendant for
outdoor, hobby, school and business. The AirPress Pen
is the perfect writing instrument for all situations in
which the pen cannot be held at the usual writing angle
– e.g. at wallhanging marketing plans or at
storage rack labeling. Also perfect for warehousemen,
architects and building workers.One can fix the
AirPress Pen with its tough metal clip on casual or
working clothes. with the little ring at the end of the
barrel one can fix the Pen with a lace e.g. to a
rucksack. Additionally the AirPress Pen is a real
outdoor-activist: The rubberized grip affords a
comfortable and safe hold even the fingers are wet or
one wears gloves.Tombow demonstrates with this
innovative allrounder and its worldwide patented
AirPress-technique that the development of writing
instruments is not completed until now. See the Tombow
Airpress Collection here.

Onbook is a new release from Tombow. The Onbook is

mechanical pencil, which differ by a fine button at the
body of the ballpoint pen to retract the lead. Both
versions are available in three beautiful soft colours.
The ONBOOK is refillable. Just turn the tip and replace
the refill. See the Tombow Onbook Collection here.

 20th February 2010: A
brand new release from Visconti, available to order
immediately, the amazing Homo Sapiens. More than
five thousand years ago with the invention of writing
the pre-history of the human kind ceases and Homo
Sapiens marks the eve of human history. The same age
discovers the metallurgy, thus allowing the
civilization of metals to sign the beginning of human
evolution all the way to the invention of the wheel.
The first great civilizations arose on the Nile, Tigris
and Euphrates river banks and soon led to the
development of sciences like algebra, geometry,
astronomy, engineering.Visconti conceived the Homo
Sapiens writing instruments line for real writers, for
those to whom the fountain pen continues to represent a
travelling mate, a daily friend to share with the same
civilization that writing contributed to create.The
material in this pen is as antique as the world: lava
from the Etna volcano. Nevertheless, it has several
characteristics that render it unique in the
manufacturing of writing instruments. Visconti has
successfully produced a material containing over 50% of
pure basaltic lava, catalysed together with resin in a
formula – patented thus obviously kept secret -
whose extraordinary characteristics practically
transforms it into a material perfectly fit to writing
instruments. See the Visconti Homo Sapiens Collection
here.

 20th February 2010: I
have just added the Visconti Divina to my website, and
this pen is available to order. Divina is a
collection of very innovative writing instruments that
carries in its DNA the Italian Renaissance, Leonardo da
Vinci and the golden number (1,618), which is said to
transmit the key of knowledge.The golden ratio applied
for the first time to a writing instrument has
generated a revolutionary design changing the aesthetic
canons of fountain pens.Some of the distinctive
elements are the pentagram and the proportion between
cap and section, but the really captivating feature is
the golden spiral that harmoniously envelops the
pen.These elements melt together in alchemy of forms
and proportions to make a pen that can be defined as
the fifth essence of elegance: so modern to seam
timeless, so ancient to seam supernatural. In one word:
Divina. See the Visconti Divina Collection here.
|
 20th February 2010: I
have just added tghe Visconti Rembrandt series to my
website. Rembrandt has succeeded like nobody else
to melt in his works of art the earthly and the
spiritual aspects of the human being. His painting
technique, the chiaroscuro, is now re-proposed by
Visconti for the new writing instruments collection
– classical and dramatic like only masterpieces
are. Fountain pen, roller ball and ballpoint range in 4
colours-apparently plain that reveal at a closer look
chiaroscuro nuances which render unique every single
pen. The clip presents a new mechanism, completely
restyled and indestructible, made of two parts only
beside the spring. Worldwide novelty is the magnetic
lock, simple and efficient at the same time. In this
case not only has Visconti optimized the necessary
opening effort but has also conceived the system with a
view to render the closing easier as well. The closure
results best for everyone, even for those particularly
distracted, allowing to avoid in this manner accidents
such as those typical of the twist closing pens.The
metal ring has been finely engraved in the best
Visconti tradition with ornamental motifs used by the
artist. The entire collection can be personalized using
the well-known Visconti patent- My Pen System-with the
instant application of the initials, the zodiac sign or
the semi-precious stone preferred by the fortunate
future owner of our Rembrandt pen. See the Visconti
Rembrandt Collection here.

craftsmanship and inspired by original designs of
Conway Stewart models made during the 1940s, this
newest addition of fine writing instruments offers a
modern approach to the evocative world of fountain
pens. The Coronet has a clean and elegant style
rendered in distinguished polished resin, a fabulous
combination that makes this exciting new Conway Stewart
edition a perfect fit for the always-evolving young

polished resin in a choice of five colours; Brown
Whirl, Exmoor, Dartmoor, Turquoise Fleck and Walnut.
These modern colours are accented with gleaming
18-carat solid gold bands featured on the cap and
barrel, along with the traditionally styled Conway
Stewart pocket clip. The slight taper to the cap and
barrel, in conjunction with the use of elegant resins
result in a fine writing instrument that is both
practical and beautiful - precisely balanced to allow
the solid 18 carat gold nib to glide smoothly across
the paper with effortless ease. The section is shaped
to be comfortable in the hand, making writing with the
Coronet a pleasure and sized to fit neatly into pocket
or purse. See the Conway Stewart Coronet Collection here.

 16th February 2010: New
from Graf von Faber-Castell is the Intuition
collection. . One of the nicest experiences in life
is spontaneously doing the right thing when faced with
a decisive situation. The new Intuition pens and
pencils in the Graf von Faber-Castell series provide
the opportunity to experience that in its purest
form.The gleaming polish of the precious resin barrel
catches the eye immediately. The deep black radiates an
intensity that gives these writing implements their
unusual aura. This is accentuated in a most effective
way by the platinum-plated ring at the end of the cap
or front piece, discreetly engraved with the words
"handmade in Germany". The barrel is elegantly shaped
in a single piece: no screw thread interrupts its
puristic form that ensures, in a masterly way, the
highest degree of functionalism. One can tell
intuitively from the gently concave grip that it will
sit comfortably between the fingers. See the Graf von
Faber-Castell Intuition collection here.
