Visconti Homo Sapiens Collection Made of LAVA with a Flexible 23kt Dreamtouch Palladium Nib More than 5,000 years ago, with the invention of writing, the pre-history of humankind ceased and the Homo Sapiens marked the dawn of human history. The first great civilizations arose and the development of sciences such as geometry, astronomy and engineering commenced.

Visconti conceived the Homo Sapien writing instruments line for serious writers, for whom a fine writing instrument remains a traveling mate to share the same civilization for which writing helped create.

The material comprising this pen is as ancient as the world itself: lava from Mount Etna in Sicily, Italy (Europe’s largest active volcano). Nevertheless, it has several characteristics that make it unique to writing instrument manufacturing. Visconti has produced a material containing over 50% of pure basaltic lava, catalysed together with resin in a patented and obviously secret formula. The material becomes a special lava blend with extraordinary characteristics that practically make it perfectly fit for writing instrument production. The Homo Sapien writing instruments have a feel unlike any other. As a result of the Dreamtouch 23kt palladium nib, the fountain pen is like writing on air! The fountain pen features Visconti’s double reservoir power filler, made of titanium, and is available in M, F, XF, B, BB and 1.3mm Stub widths.

The Pen Body Material: Lava is virtually unbreakable: It has a high degree of resilience, so it can easily absorb shocks.

Flameproof: Visconti Lava has a resistance to over 200 degrees F of heat.

Slightly hygroscopic: It allows for absorbing hand moisture during use.

Dense at touch: It offers the best possible finger-relaxing grip.

The Nib: Dreamtouch 23kt Palladium: Possibly the first ever made and certainly with the highest content of palladium ever manufactured in fountain pen history. It requires no pressure in order to write, tracing thoughts and words gently for a dream-like handwriting.

Flexibility and Memory: More flexible than 18 kt gold… for any type of writing.

Bologna Resin Collection New Colors!

In celebration of the 80th anniversary of OMAS in 2005, the Bologna line was introduced and, for the first time, Omas gave one of its collections the name of the city of its origin. A revamped contemporary and refined look gives a new interpretation to luxury pens. The tapered form has been re-balanced to make writing even more pleasurable while maintaining the simple and discreet rounded shape. The refined resin shades, recalling the warm atmosphere of Bologna’s nights, are embellished by the palladium finish. The symbol of the City of Bologna, its famous porticos stretching over the city, is engraved on the 14 kt gold nib and on the cap of the rollerball and ball pen. Cartridge/ converter filling, the fountain pen nib is available in M and F.

Mapuche Indigenous People Limited Edition The Mapuche people were the first inhabitants of half of the area today known as Chile and Argentina. Before the Spanish arrived in 1541, the Mapuche occupied a vast territory in the Southern Cone of the continent. The Mapuche nation now constitutes the third largest indigenous society in South America. A century after their arrival, the Spanish signed the Treaty of Quillin (1641) which defined frontiers with the Mapuche nation. With the defeat of the Spanish by the newly formed states of Argentina and Chile in 1810, the original treaties of 1641 were abrogated. Under the pretext of promoting civilization and Christianity, the Mapuche people suffered territorial conquest, military aggression and persecution resulting in the destruction of entire communities. Today, the new democratic government in Chile has provided financial support for Mapuche groups. The call now is for judicious funding of projects that the Mapuche themselves plan. The Mapuche persist in demanding respect for their rights as a people, the return of their lands, and justice and freedom. The collection is hand turned from solid bars of a specially designed dark grey resin interleaved with jagged layers of white resin, portraying rock formation commonly found in the region. The pens feature a solid sterling silver ring decorated with drawings from the Mapuche flag. A medal on the cap is engraved with a picture of the Mapuche calendar portrayed in the flag as well as rings in resin in the same colors as the flag. The sterling clip features a three-dimensional representation of the typical tribal totem, called Chemamull. The collection is comprised of 541 numbered Special Edition fountain pens in vermeil trim (gold-plating over sterling silver) with a push button filling system. The Limited Edition comprises both 1,541 numbered fountain pens, cartridge/converter filling, and 1,541 ball pens with sterling silver trim. Each fountain pen is enhanced with an 18 kt gold nib, available in M, F, XF and B widths.

The ball pens are easily convertible into rollerballs.

Conklin Mark Twain Crescent Collection

The Mark Twain Crescent fountain pen is a replica of the original Conklin crescent filler used and promoted by Mark Twain. In 1903, Mark Twain, the legendary American author, began his relationship with the Conklin Pen Co. As a spokesman for Conklin, Twain expressed the virtues of this unique self-filling fountain pen in a series of advertisements in which he stated “I prefer it to ten other fountain pens, because it carries its filler in its own stomach, and I cannot mislay even by art or intention. Also, I prefer it because it is a profanity saver; it cannot roll off the desk..” Each fountain pen features the famous crescent filling system and silver plated clip and band containing Mark Twain’s famous signature. A Conklin iridium steel plated nib completes each fountain pen and is available in F, M and B widths. A matching ball pen rounds out the collection.

Graf von Faber-Castell A 2010 Pen of the Year Limited Edition A secret art with highly aesthetic results For the Pen of the Year 2010, Faber-Castell has returned to a process for which very few workshops still have the skills: the gunsmith’s art of case hardening. Founded in 1761, the Faber company developed into the leading manufacturer of wood-cased pencils which created a series of fascinating products that set standards to this day. The uncompromising awareness of quality, the innovative drive, and the social commitment of past generations form the basis of the company’s dealings to this day. It is now headed by Count Anton W. von Faber-Castell, the eighth generation of his family. Count Roland von Faber-Castell, the father of the present Count, was a passionate huntsman. The aesthetic appeal of some very valuable hand-crafted hunting rifles, owned by Count Roland, inspired the Pen of the Year 2010. On seeing the new pen one immediately notices the casehardened metal parts and the fine engravings. Until the late 19th century, case hardening was the sign of a fine gun, with the inimitable shimmering coloration it provides. For centuries, the technique was handed down by word of mouth and was something of a secret art. The iron parts are usually packed in carbonized leather and heated to convert the surface into steel; the fine nuances of colour appear on quenching. Only recently has it been discovered that some 20 parameters contribute to the beautiful visual effect, including the thickness of the metal, the temperature, and the rate of cooling. With long experience a craftsman can influence the results but never predict them precisely, so no two case-hardened items are identical.

The character of the case hardening is emphasized by elaborate engraving and a 24-carat gold inlay, inserted by hand. Nowadays there are only a very few traditional workshops that can carry out these ancient skills in the way that the Pen of the Year 2010 demonstrates. In addition, the material of the barrel of the pen fully matches up to the claim of exclusivity: it is the valuable wood of the Caucasian walnut. Seasoned for many years, walnut wood is tough and inelastic, with fine but marked patterns: it does not warp or splinter… the ideal wood for the stock of a gun – and for very special writing implements. Valuable too as it is not enough to fell the trees: the stumps have to be dug out, because the best figured wood is in the roots that go deep into the ground. No other tree warrants this time-consuming excavation. The valuable wood of the barrel and the splendid metal parts make the Pen of the Year 2010 an exclusive and individual fountain pen. The 18-carat bi-colour gold nib is available in F, M and B widths. The platinum-plated end cap protects the knob for the plunger mechanism, on which each pen is individually numbered.

B Intuition Platino One of the nicest experiences in life is spontaneously doing the right thing when faced with a decisive situation. The new Intuition Platino writing instruments, larger than the previous Intuition 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 cap of the fountain pen and rollerball, and the trim of the ball pen and pencil. The barrel is elegantly shaped in a single piece: no screw thread interrupts its puristic form that insures, in a masterly way, the highest degree of functionalism. One can tell intuitively from the gently concave grip that will sit comfortably between the fingers. The fountain pen features an 18kt gold nib, available in M, F, and B. Cartridge/converter fill. The collection is completed with a matching rollerball, ball pen and 0.7mm pencil.
