Visconti Watermark Rollerball Pen Iridium Rainbow

Visconti is pleased to announce the launch of two new additions to their award winning Watermark collection: the Iridium Rainbow and Blue Moon.

 

The Watermark is a pen that demonstrates one of Visconti's greatest skills, the artisanal craftsmanship of the cut out filigree, and the ability to achieve intricate details with absolute precision. Visconti began crafting filigrees back in 1993 with the launch of the Visconti Uffizi and over the years has refined and improved the technique with pens like the Skeleton or the Ripple. The Watermark replicates the Visconti logo throughout the pens cap and body like a paper filigree, hence the name 'Watermark'. The design of the pen identifies strongly with the Visconti brand, much like a watermark is an identifying pattern in paper.

 

The filigree for both the Iridium Rainbow and Blue Moon are cut out from a solid tube of sterling silver that requires over 20 manual operations to reach the final base of the design. The treatments to each pen, however, are very different:

• The Blue Moon overlay is plated in ruthenium giving a shiny gun metal finish. The overlay is then combined with a clear blue demonstrator resin.
• For the Iridium Rainbow, Visconti applied third-millennium technology. The pen body and all trims, including the fountain pen nib, are treated in an avonial iridium coating. The overlay is then combined with a clear demonstrator resin. A full spectrum of color is on display as the pen is rotated. Visconti has created a filigree with an ever-changing rainbow of color and the result is simply breathtaking!

The Watermark 2019 is available in rollerball or fountain pen limited to 888 pieces and is presented in a special limited edition collectors gift box. The fountain pen features the patented Visconti Double Reservoir Power Filler System and is further enhanced with Visconti's large 18kt gold nib, available in F, M, and Stub or Visconti's large 23kt Palladium Dreamtouch nib available in EF and Broad.
