Visconti Homo Sapiens Magma Fountain Pen

Description

Visconti is delighted to announce its latest reincarnation of the Homo Sapiens series: the new Magma has arrived.
Visconti shook the fountain pen industry with a breakthrough both in design and use of materials when the original Homo Sapiens Bronze Age was launched. Carved from pure basaltic lava from the Mount Etna volcano in Italy, and enriched with resin materials, the pen encompasses the strength of ancient powers, juxtaposing its volcanic nature to a soft and smooth writing experience thanks to its Dreamtouch 23Kt Palladium nib. This award-winning writing tool was followed by the Homo Sapiens Dark Age designed with black ruthenium trims.
Today, the Homo Sapiens collection is still one of Visconti's signature writing instruments. Virtually unbreakable and naturally hygroscopic, the Homo Sapiens now comes in the "Magma" edition featuring red trims symbolizing the eruption of molten lava through the volcanos passageways. The glossy metal red trims give a fiery contrast against the matte black lava of the pen's body.
The pen caps using the Visconti 'Hook Safe Lock', a revolutionary capping system so you can cap a pen without worrying about the cap accidentally unscrewing in your pocket and leaking.
The Homo Sapiens Magma fountain pen fills using the patented Visconti power filler system, which is made of titanium to resist ink corrosion, and is enhanced with Visconti's 23kt Palladium Dreamtouch black ruthenium nib.
Lava has some incredible qualities making it the perfect material for writing instruments.
Virtually unbreakable: high degree of resilience
Flame-proof: heat resistance to heat over 100°C
Slightly hygroscopic: absorbs moisture during use
Dense to the touch: comfortable to grip and relaxing to write with
You can also customize this pen with the magnetized MyPen System. We offer natural stones that you can swap into the finial in place of the Visconti logo coin.
