Graf von Faber-Castell creates unusual writing instruments

June 2009


Graceful and elegant is the new Guilloche Chevron range of writing instruments from the Graf von Faber-Castell Collection. The shimmering gloss finish of the black barrel comes about as a result of time-consuming manual polishing.

In contrast, the discrete engraved herringbone gives each pen and pencil more of a classic flair. The result is an interesting combination of conspicuous gloss and reserved guilloche engraving, that continually takes on a new character depending on the incident light.

Pen of the year 2009

The Pen of the Year 2009 represents an exclusive and individual sense of writing. Carefully ‘run in’ by hand, the 18-carat bicoloured gold nib is available in the widths M, B and F. The platinum-plated end cap protects the knob for the plunger mechanism, on which each pen is individually numbered.

An accompanying certificate bears Dorit Berger’s signature, attesting to the limited edition and certifying the quality and genuineness of the horsehair used.

On request, a pen can be specially made from the tail hairs of your own horse.
