Once again Visconti pushes the boundaries of writing technology with the launch of its latest collection, the Homo Sapiens ‘Dual Touch’. The fountain pen combines a contrast of materials, soft luxurious Italian leather with solid brass metal, highlighting Visconti's continued passion for experimentation and skillful use of materials.
The Dual Touch offers a new tactile writing experience. The barrel of the pen is made from textured Italian Palmellato leather, which is soft and luxurious but also very durable. The leather is double stitched at the back to provide strength and is coated with a protective treatment to prevent staining. In contrast the pen cap, blind cap and grip section are made of solid brass, each section is then finished in a smooth satin-finish.
This Visconti Homo Sapiens Dual Touch fountain pen features a brown leather barrel, complemented by a satin finish yellow gold metal cap, grip section, and blind cap. It is completed with rose gold trim, an 18kt rose gold nib, magnetic cap closure, and Visconti's popular power filler system.
One of the best looking pens I’ve ever seen, and I know it will write well as they all do!
The quality and attention to detail are not commensurate with the high price of this pen. The nib does not align with the leather stitching and the writing experience is overly heavy. Would not buy again.
