1919
Platignum Pen Co. changes the world of pens with the self-filling, gold plated nib fountain pen.
1925
A revolution in pen design – the world’s first replacement nib.
1939-1945
Platignum supports the war effort, commissioned by the MOD to create ‘spy’ pens concealing maps and compasses.
Since 1919 when we began making writing instruments in Britain we’ve been writing the history of the pen. The story of some of the milestones we’ve passed and the inventions we pioneered over those eighty plus years are shown over the page. But this brochure is very much about the future we’re building on that unique heritage. From elegant ball point pens to top of the range fountain pens, you’ll find a perfect balance of pleasurable performance and incredible design.
1950
Another breakthrough – the company invents the retractable ball point.
1962
The seminal Good Handwriting pen is introduced.
1965-1998
Platignum introduces the ink cartridge to the UK and becomes synonymous with education for over 30 years.
Isn’t it nice to be able to hold history in your hand.
1992-2005
Platignum produces a collection of calligraphy sets to complement its traditional writing range.
2007
Platignum’s new signature style is born.
Design Concepts Every Platignum writing instrument is designed to be perfectly weighted, smooth to write with and subtly beautiful. The process begins with a quiver of inspiration that quickly skips from squiggles and lines, to exciting sketches and ideas.
From a designer’s doodle to an essay in writing Distinctive Detailing Beauty and fine detailing isn’t an embellishment, it’s an essential part of the appeal of every Platignum pen. From the knurled design of the end cap to the tip of the iridium nib, every detail is precision-engineered using expertise gained from almost 90 years of pen manufacture.
At Platignum we have always believed that writing should be a pleasure. Even in these days of emails, blogs and texts, the pen retains a special appeal that is both visible and tangible. Our designers understand and express this balance, crafting every pen to be a pleasure to behold, to hold, to use and to give. The marriage of form and function is reflected in the design, the materials, the performance and the feel of every Platignum pen.
THE Finished pLATIGNUM When you hold a Platignum in your hand, you can actually feel the designer’s passion, care and obsession that goes into every pen. Our distinctive design details, like the embossed clip and diamond detailing, are marques signifying outstanding performance and excellence.
