The Divine Proportion - a
ratio that is everywhere in nature. It describes the
spiral of a snail's shell, the pattern if seeds in a sunflower
head. It is even encoded in the structure of the Great
pyramid. This beautiful woodgrain celluloid pen is
faceted with a pentagonal cross-section that itself twists into
a subtle spiral. Each edge is strung with solid sterling
silver, or solid 18 carat gold. The filling mechanism is
Visconti's patented Push and Pull Touchdown. The metal
filler is engraved with the Fibonacci sequence of numbers; the
ratio of successive numbers of which approach the divine ratio
as they get larger.
It comes complete with a solid
wooden presentation box, and a special set of calipers that are
pre-set to measure the "divine proportion" or 1.618:1.
