Visconti Homo Sapiens Crystal Dream Oversize Fountain Pen
Visconti conceived the Homo Sapiens fountain pen for real writers, for those to whom the pen continues to represent a traveling mate, a daily friend to share with the same civilization that writing contributed to create.
The material in this pen is as antique as the world: lava from the Etna volcano. Visconti lava is: Virtually unbreakable, it has a high degree of resilience. Flameproof, Visconti lava has a resistance to heat of over 100Ā°C. Slightly hygroscopic, allowing to absorb hand sweat during use.
The Visconti Homo Sapiens Crystal Dream is an exceptional fountain pen, showcasing all of the unique benefits of the original, award-winning Homo Sapiens with several upgrades and modifications:
- Crystal Ink Chamber:Ā The mostĀ discernibleĀ modification to the body of the pen is the addition of a large transparent window made from crystal acrylic resin. A large section of lava has been cut out of the pens body and replaced with a piece of clear crystal acrylic tube, transforming the pen into a demonstrator with a unique appearance and identity. This 'oversize' window offers the user a view of stored ink inside the pen and the pens 'double reservoir' power filling system
- Double Reservoir: The original Homo Sapiens featured Visconti's 'single reservoir' power filling system. The Crystal Dream is upgraded to Visconti's patented 'double reservoir' power filler, 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.
- Crystal Ring: The final change is the small ring around the pens grip section. Metal has been replaced with crystal acrylic resin, offering a view of stored ink in the pens second smaller ink reservoir.
- 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 100Ā°C
- Slightly hygroscopic: absorbs moisture during use
- Dense to the touch: comfortable to grip and relaxing to write with
The fountain pen has a 14 ct (750) gold nib. Dream touch is the term Visconti coined to define a nib that requires no pressure whatsoever in order to write, it traces in a gentle way thoughts and words for a dream handwriting. The charging high vacuum power filler is made of titanium, the only material resistant to ink aggression.Ā
Available as a fountain pen only, featuring Visconti's smooth 14kt gold nib in roseĀ to match the color of the pen's trims, available in EF, F, M, B, and Stub.
