Visconti Homo Sapiens London Fog Fountain Pen
Mint Preowned Condition - with Box
The Visconti Homo Sapiens London Fog Fountain Pen is a rare and striking limited edition within Visconti’s celebrated Homo Sapiens line. Produced as a numbered run of only 888 pieces worldwide, this demonstrator-style edition blends translucent material with sophisticated color and advanced Italian engineering for a pen that’s as collectible as it is impressive to write with.
The London Fog design is defined by its semi-clear acrylic and celluloid construction: ribbons of finely shaved blue and grey celluloid are suspended throughout a transparent barrel, creating a smoky, ethereal visual effect evocative of its namesake fog over the Thames. This unique material — often described as acryloid — combines the depth and warmth of celluloid with the clarity and durability of acrylic, giving each pen a one-of-a-kind pattern and depth.
Polished 925 sterling silver trim accentuates the elegant design, with arc-shaped clip and cap rings bringing a refined, metallic contrast to the soft greys and blues of the body. At the filling end is Visconti’s patented Double Reservoir Power Filler™ system — a precision titanium-built vacuum mechanism that draws and stores significant ink volume while minimizing air and leakage.
At the heart of the London Fog is Visconti’s famed 18k gold nib, engineered for exceptionally smooth, consistent ink flow with a naturally cushioned feel under hand. Available in a variety of widths, this soft-responsive nib brings out the best in both everyday writing and expressive script.
Presented in Visconti’s luxury packaging with a numbered certificate, the Homo Sapiens London Fog is a standout limited edition — perfect for collectors, gift buyers, and serious fountain pen enthusiasts who value both artistry and technical prowess.
