Fountain Pen Intuition Platino Grenadilla
With its minimalist design, the Intuition Platino Wood stands out
from the crowd. No threaded joint interrupts the pure design of the
Intuition Platino Ebony and Grenadilla. The gently sweeping concave
contours of the grip are evidence not only of the most careful
workmanship, but also offer maximum comfort when writing.
The warmth of the exotic woods is accentuated by the platinum-plated
metal cap that completes the fountain pen. The
cap is decorated with the Graf von Faber-Castell coat of arms.
Due, not least, to the extra-large 18-carat bicolour
gold nib, which is available in seven different widths, the
Intuition Platino with its exotic wood barrel is a genuine
collector's item of refined writing culture.
The style of the Intuition Platino Wood collection combines the
natural and warm charisma of wood with the cool elegance of
platinum-plated surfaces in a unique way. All the more remarkably is
thus the finely fluted barrel as it is elegantly shaped from a
single piece. Thanks to the gently concave grip it sits comfortably
between the fingers. The metal cap is graced by a metal inlay
bearing the family coat of arms.
- Barrel is made of a single piece of material so that no screw
joint interrupts the pure shape
- Cartridge/converter system that slides gently out of the barrel
on turning the end cap
- Magnum sized handmade bicoloured 18-carat gold nib with iridium
tip, run in by hand
- Manufacturing process involves over a hundred steps, most of
them carried out by hand.
Grenadilla, finely fluted
Certified precious woods, like the dark brown granadilla,
grow very slowly, which makes them particularly hard and durable,
and correspondingly difficult to work.
