Introducing the Centenary Collector's pen, the first of the Collectors pen series, available exclusively through the Conway Stewart Collectors club and select stockists. As the name suggests, this edition celebrates the company's 100th year and is available in three classic and beautiful colours. The Centenary edition features clean, uncluttered lines, reminiscent of Conway Stewart's early pens, and boasts the first stepped cap and barrel end the company has used since the early 1900s.
To commemorate the occasion, the cap tassie bears the engraved dates 1905 & 2005, while the distinctive Conway Stewart diamond logo is engraved on the barrel tassie. At Conway Stewart, exceptional care and attention is given to hand-crafting and assembling each pen on-site at their factory premises in Devon, UK. The cap bands are made of hallmarked solid 18 carat gold, and the nibs are crafted out of 18 carat gold, available in a range of grades to satisfy even the most demanding writer.
Classic Green, as the name suggests, is everything a marbled green colour should be. It is simple, clean, and elegant, a mixture of deep viridian shades mixed with olive and shimmering highlights of glowing pearl, the perfect embodiment of an English green. Bracket Brown is a dashing interpretation of the basic marbled brown colour, with deep reddish browns blending into a marbling of translucent tan complemented by pearl highlights, all topped and tailed in classic black resin for a truly elegant statement.
Classic Black may be a basic black colour, but it is the backbone of fine writing instruments. When it comes to understated elegance, you can't go wrong with a pen rendered in Classic Black. Conway Stewart writing instruments boast a traditional, classical design that has stood the test of time, and the Centenary Collector's pen is no exception.
