On the cover Graf von Faber Castell Pen of the Year 2012 Limited Edition A fascinating encounter: the deep structure of ancient wetland oak, whose beauty has been naturally wrought over thousands of years, combined with gold, which lends a supernatural sheen to the most beautiful works of art created by mankind. Gold leaf is carefully applied to the pen’s oak barrel by hand, using a fine squirrel-hair brush and a 4,000-year-old technique—a technique that dates back to the ancient Egyptians and that is mastered by only a select few people today. Such an extraordinary craft demands particular artistry and skill. A sensitive and masterly touch is necessary to make the gold leaf mold perfectly to the grain of the wood. The combination of gold leaf and wetland oak makes the Pen of the Year 2012 a stunningly luxurious fountain pen. The 18kt bicolor gold nib is available in M, F, and B, each one crafted by hand. The end cap protects the twist knob for the filling mechanism. All metal fittings are 24kt gold plated. The masterpiece is crowned by a chessboard-faceted citrine gemstone set in the cap. A certificate, signed personally by the award-winning gilder Ernst D. Feldmann, attests to the 24kt leaf gilding on the ancient German oak, as well as to the edition, limited to 1,500 fountain pens.

A Rediscover Pompeii In 1996, Delta achieved international success by offering the Pompeii Limited Edition. The Pompeii was Delta’s first pen made in celluloid, and it featured the classic lateral lever filling system. One of the most characteristic details of the Pompeii was its “Pompeian red” color—a logical chromatic choice, since at the time it was believed that the walls of the houses in the ancient Roman city had been painted red. Recently, in a sensational scientific discovery, investigators have shown that the true color of those walls was actually yellow. This incredible news has led Delta’s artisans to again take inspiration from Pompeii, developing a new collection of writing instruments in an impressive and precious yellow celluloid, interlaced with antiquing streaks. The fountain pen is available as either cartridge/converter fill or piston fill and is enhanced with a 14kt gold nib, available in M, F, XF, and B. Each pen is individually numbered. The piston fill model is slightly wider and longer than the cartridge/converter version.

Delta B Gallery Blue Moon The Gallery Blue Moon writing instruments are the result of Delta’s traditional handicraft. This collection is produced from a special multicolored resin that is hand turned from solid rods. It pays homage to drip painting, a form of abstract art popularized in the 1940s in which paint is dripped or poured on canvas. The central ring is sterling silver and engraved by hand to reproduce an old Roman decorative element featured in paintings from Pompeii. The fountain pen is available as either cartridge/converter fill or piston fill and includes a 14kt gold nib, available in M, F, XF, B, and stub widths. The collection is completed with a matching rollerball and twist-mechanism ball pen. Fountain Pen Cartridge/Converter Fill Fountain Pen Piston Fill Rollerball Ball Pen

A Etruria Tuscany Dreams Limited Edition Between the 15th and 18th centuries, Tuscany—specifically Florence—developed a cult of beauty based largely on the policies of the Medici family. Rather than focusing on political or military matters, they staked all on art and culture so that their city was transformed into a new Athens, a microcosm of beauty; accordingly, they financed many of the greatest artists who ever lived. Stipula has always honored the prosperous region of Tuscany; the Etruria Tuscany Dreams represents a thank-you to the Medici family and to the painters, sculptors, architects, and scientists who have made Florence, and Tuscany, an enchanted place that the whole world envies. Made of precious black ebonite with crimson stripes, the pen is adorned with a magnificent bronze clip featuring two masterpieces of Florence: the dome of the cathedral, and Michelangelo’s David. In the foreground of the cap band is the coat of arms of the Medici; adorning the rest of the ring, the portraits of three geniuses born in Tuscany—Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo Buonarroti, and Dante Alighieri.

Stipula B Model T Sahara Limited Edition Stipula introduces an outstanding new shade of Model T, the pen inspired by the famous car introduced by Henry Ford in 1908. The Model T Sahara captures the colors of the desert— when you use this magnificent writing instrument, you can feel the warmth of sand between your hands. The bright rings on the cap sparkle like the oasis in the desert, and the silver trim gives the pairing of these two elements an even more prestigious look. The fountain pen is enhanced with the special Stipula T-flex nib, available only in the unique 0.6mm size and made of titanium, a metal with great performance in terms of accuracy, flexibility, and lightness. The fountain pen is cartridge/converter as well as eyedropper fill, with an eyedropper included. The pen is also available as a speedball (the extraordinary roller that you can charge with either a cartridge or bottled ink). A limited edition of 351 pieces of each instrument worldwide.

Following the success of the Passaporto, characterized by a small shape and a great personality, Stipula realized that its fans wanted to own a pen that is practical, handy, roomy...and has a clip.

The reservoir can be filled directly with the use of a dropper (included with your purchase). The ink capacity of each Bon Voyage is more than 5 cartridges, ideal for those who travel a lot and want to leave the ink at home—Stipula wishes them a good trip! Bon voyage! The pen is also available as a speedball, a rollerball without a refill that works exactly like a fountain pen, with a cartridge or with direct eyedropper filling.

A Amerigo Vespucci Limited Edition
“I reached the land of the Antipodes and I recognized that I was gazing on the fourth part of the Earth. I discovered a continent inhabited by a multitude of peoples and animals, more than our own Europe, than Asia or even than Africa.” This remark may bring a smile to our lips today, but in 1497 the letter that the Florentine navigator Amerigo Vespucci addressed to Lorenzo de’ Medici caused such a stir that when Martin Waldseemüller drew the first map of America 10 years later, he named the continent after the feminized Latin version of Vespucci’s name: Americus Vespucius. This notable explorer traveled to the New World on 4 separate occasions, discovering Rio de Janeiro and giving Venezuela, or “Little Venice,” its name. 2012 marks the 500th anniversary of the birth of Vespucci. To create a pen commemorating this important anniversary, Visconti took inspiration from symbolic events and documents, primarily Vespucci’s travels themselves and Waldseemüller’s famous map of 1507. To reproduce portions of the map correctly, Visconti further perfected its scrimshaw technique on special ivory resin, introducing points and chiaroscuro into the graphic work, and embedded the scrimshaw into the pen’s surface. Visconti’s unique 23kt palladium Dreamtouch nib enhances this masterpiece, available in M, F, XF, B, BB, and stub widths. Limited to a total of 500 fountain pens and rollerballs combined in bronze trim and 50 fountain pens and rollerballs combined in 18kt gold. The fountain pen is filled via the exclusive Visconti Power Filler system. The special presentation box reproduces an astrolabe, the instrument that—in conjunction with the quadrant—allowed Vespucci to complete his voyages.

Crescent 2012 Collection Conklin created the Mark Twain 2012 Crescent Filler fountain pen as a replica of the original Crescent Filler fountain pen used and promoted by Mark Twain in the early 1900s. Now you can experience the same satisfaction and inspiration that Twain felt as he penned his extraordinary thoughts. In 1903, the legendary American author expressed the virtues of this unique self-filling pen in 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 it even by art or intention. Also, I prefer it because it is a profanity saver; it cannot roll off the desk.” The Crescent Filler is known for its easy-to-fill reservoir. To fill the pen, simply press the crescent on the barrel to depress and empty the rubber bladder inside; as the crescent is released, ink flows back into the bladder. Conklin has fitted the Crescent with a two-tone steel nib featuring a corresponding crescent-shaped breathing hole, available in M, F, XF, B, and stub widths. The Crescent Filler fountain pen is now available in fresh, captivating resin colors. Rich gold plating adds a bit of elegance to the clip and band, which are engraved with the Conklin logo.
