"The Visconti Divina Metropolitan series is inspired by Leonardo da Vinci's Golden number, Pi 1.618. These fine writers are made from celluloid which reflects the beautiful skyline of Manhattan, New York. The harmony between transparent celluloid and mother-of-pearl celluloid is clearly visible in the pen. The celluloid is vertically incised to achieve a subtle ring effect. The celluloid barrel is extremely hard to create and is a time stalking process but when finished they are exceptionally durable.
The Visconti Divina Metropolitan takes inspiration from Visconti’s iconic collection ‘Divine Proportion’, drawing on the art and science of the Renaissance period. The Metropolitan features the same classic shape and characteristics of the Divina: The ratio of the pen body and cap are measured in accordance with the golden ratio, 1.618. The pen integrates the Nautilus or ‘Golden spiral’ through the pen with spiraling sold 925 sterling silver rods, which are hand inserted into each pen. No matter how you cap it, it aligns perfectly.
But this time Visconti has enriched the pen with their timeless ‘Wall Street’ celluloid. Available in either pearl grey or pearl green colors, the celluloid’s reflective nature is reminiscent of the illuminating Manhattan skyline in New York. This is the pearl grey."
