Visconti – Homo Sapiens Carbon Moiré | LTD |
Introducing the Homo Sapiens Carbon Moiré, a fountain pen born from years of meticulous experimentation and cutting-edge innovation. Inspired by the groundbreaking use of volcanic lava in the iconic Homo Sapiens Lava Bronze, this new collection pushes the boundaries of design with the implementation of forged carbon. Drawing from the craftsmanship of prestigious Italian supercars, this composite material blends carbon fiber fragments with resin, creating an organic, dynamic pattern across the pen’s barrel. Infused with gold leaf, the material dazzles with unique, holographic reflections, creating a mesmerizing play of light that gives the pen its signature aesthetic.
Beyond its captivating appearance, the Homo Sapiens Carbon Moiré is a triumph of engineering. The forged carbon ensures the pen is remarkably lightweight, while all metal components are crafted from grade 5 titanium—an alloy prized for its strength and featherlight feel. The titanium undergoes a specialized natural oxidation process, perfectly complementing the golden hue of the gold leaf. With a refined two-tone effect achieved through laser engraving on the Visconti clip, this pen is both elegant and functional. To preserve its beauty, a nano-ceramic coating protects the titanium from micro-scratches, ensuring longevity.
The fountain pen version features Visconti’s iconic Power Filler Double Reservoir system, offering superior ink capacity and control. A transparent acrylic section on the central ring allows you to monitor ink levels with ease, even when the pen is closed. The improved magnetic closure system ensures a secure fit, while the 18kt yellow gold nib delivers a smooth writing experience. Limited to just 226 pieces—an homage to the atomic numbers of carbon and titanium—this exclusive edition combines exceptional materials, innovative design, and unrivaled craftsmanship to offer collectors a truly unique writing instrument.
