Ulysse Nardin collaborate with Visconti to create a Fountain Pen.

Ulysse Nardin a venerable old Italian company with some 165 years of History in the watch-making industry, and Visconti, another Italian Company exclusively dedicated to the Penmaking industry, and with only 15 years standing, yet numerous accolades for the quality of their products and innovations, have collaborated to create a Fountain Pen which represents both their houses.

Made from a solid block of Ulysse Nardin Blue resin, each Hand-Made Pen take 20 steps just to produce the resin section, available in either 18k gold or Sterling Silver, and incorporate many of the Visconti mechanical innovations that have made the brand so famous, so fast, such as their bayonet closure system on the cap for maximum safe closure, and Visconti's unique triple-channel ink feed, which links to a Ink reservoir with the capacity of some ten Ink Cartridges.

Visually the Pens Echo Nardin's Branding more than anything, with a tight net pattern, reminiscent of fishing net's, and writ large on the body as the images below show, the Ulysse Nardin Anchor Logo, the cap clip is solid rather than hollowed gold, and is etched with the unique serial number of each pen.

Supplied in an Elegant Wooden presentation box, each Pen comes with a matching Travel Inkwell, and costs £7900 for Gold, and £2500 for Silver.
