Visconti Homo Sapiens Carbon Moiré Fountain Pens

The Visconti Homo Sapiens Carbon Moiré fountain pen is a unique limited edition release joining the famous Homo Sapiens Collection. The Homo Sapiens Carbon Moiré is the result of years of complex experimentation aimed at creating a collection that combines cutting-edge techniques with an inimitable aesthetic. This incredible new offering is limited to 226 pieces in tribute to the atomic numbers of the key chemical elements that give the pen its extraordinary lightness: Titanium (22) and Carbon (6).

The pen features the implementation of forged carbon: a composite material of recent conception, made by combining carbon fiber fragments and resin. The forged carbon has layers of gold leaf inlay woven through the material, complemented by titanium trim. This characteristic gives the barrel an organic appearance, with the fibers taking on an irregular and dynamic pattern. The golden hue creates unique reflections. The material appears three-dimensional, almost holographic, much like the refined moiré fabrics that lend the pen its name.

The Visconti Homo Sapiens Carbon Moiré fountain pen is made of forged carbon with gold leaf inlay paired with titanium trim. Each pen has the brand's iconic Power Filler Double Reservoir filling system. The pen's cap features Visconti's enhanced magnetic closure system for a more secure, solid seal. The central ring features a section in clear acrylic resin, allowing the ink level to be seen even when the pen is closed. Homo Sapiens Carbon Moiré fountain pens are completed with Visconti's 18kt yellow gold nib (available in varying nib sizes). A very thin layer of transparent nano-ceramic coating is applied to protect the metal components, which stabilizes the color over time and preserves the titanium from potential micro-scratches.
