The Pen of the Year 2020 is inspired by the Greek heroes of Sparta and their king Leonidas.
Seven rough diamonds of 0.35 carat on the ruthenium-coated and matte, sandblasted barrel of the writing instrument represent the robustness, strength and uniqueness of the bold Spartans. The milled pattern on the barrel is reminiscent of the strip-style armor worn in the abdomen region.
The spring-loaded clip on the cap is inspired by the shape of the Greek helmet, while the inlay in the end cap shows the lambda character, which adorned the warriors‘ shields as a symbol of solidarity. The ruthenium-coated, 18-carat gold nib promises unique writing pleasure. Invoking ancient Greek breastplates, the grip zone brings the myth of Sparta and its heroes to life.
The exclusive Black Edition:
Reminiscent of the rivets on the Spartans’ protective dress, the anthracite colored metal barrel with a PVD coating made from titanium is decorated with a milled pattern and 42 uncut diamonds of 2.1 carats in seven rows of six diamonds each.
A certificate signed by Count Charles of Faber-Castell attests to the authenticity of the limited edition. The exclusive writing instruments come in a highly polished black wooden case.
