on saleVisconti Homo Sapiens Fountain Pen - Legacy Celluloid (Limited Edition)

Some materials do more than shape an object: they preserve a story, a tradition, a legacy. With the new Limited Edition Homo Sapiens Legacy Celluloid, Visconti brings back one of the most iconic materials in the history of writing instruments - celluloid. An extraordinary material  that has marked the evolution of high-end pens and forms part of Visconti's historical tradition. 

Introduced at the beginning of the twentieth century and long cherished by collectors, celluloid is considered one of the most prestigious and fascinating materials ever used in  the world of luxury writing instruments. Unlike modern industrial plastics, celluloid is a living material, renowned for its exceptional chromatic depth, natural luminosity, and the complexity of its production process, which today makes it increasingly rare in the landscape of high-end writing instruments.

With the Homo Sapiens Legacy Celluloid, this historic material returns in an exclusive limited edition that celebrates the meeting of one of Visconti’s most iconic models with one of the most prestigious and sought-after materials in the history of writing instruments. A combination that brings together the distinctive character of the Homo Sapiens with the extraordinary depth and uniqueness of celluloid, expressing the excellence of Italian manufacturing and Visconti’s artisanal tradition. 

The striped celluloid pattern enhances the dynamic nature of the material, creating a vibrant interplay of light and color that highlights the form of the pen. Rose gold finishes add warmth and elegance, while the enameled clip introduces a refined decorative detail that reinforces the distinctive identity of the model.

This pen is fitted with Visconti's precious 18kt rose gold plated nib, a symbol of Italian craftsmanship excellence and a guarantee of a fluid, precise, and harmonious writing experience.

The double reservoir power filler is a vacuum filling system that is easy to use and has considerable benefits. Patented in 1998, this is arguably the most advanced filling system ever developed in fountain pen history. The user is able to fill the pen with the equivalent of 10 cartridges of ink, and thanks to the two reservoirs, prevents ink from leaking during air travel.

The Hook Safe Lock revolutionary cap closing system is very satisfying to operate and was created to lock the pen body into the cap to prevent the possibility of the pen accidentally unscrewing and leaking inside a pocket or bag.

The Legacy Celluliod Limited Edition is individually numbered and limited to 888 pens worldwide. Each pen is presented in a beautifully crafted limited edition box.

Please also note we are unable to accept a return of this pen for any reason once it has been used with ink. Please thoroughly inspect and dry test the pen before use.
