Hard to believe there has been no response to this announcement, Syd. Maybe, like me, folks are trying to avoid temptation by not checking out the Market Watch forum! (I probably shouldn't be here now.... )

 

The pens look lovely, especially the 100 Year pens. The Skyscraper has a bit too much 'bling' for my tastes, but I think the blue and gold look very nice together. And it is wonderful that you have designed a piston filler instead of another C/C pen. Kudos to you!

 

The Skyscraper is listed as 'coming soon' on your website, but there is no mention there of the 100 Year pens. (Are they only available at the shows?) I imagine they are way out of my reach, but would you give us an idea of price range for your new pen models?

PM Sent... I need one of those 100 Year Pens.

I have been using my Black and Pearl 100 year pen for about a week now - extremely impressive.

 

The piston filler is the most polished I've felt to date, the exceptional uptake and tightness is masked by the smooth turn and action of the filler.

 

The smoothness of the nib right out of the box is also worth noting in buttery contact and no discernible fault in action at all; i.e., hard start, only performing in a single angle, singing. My specific nib has a slightly heavy flow for me but it is even and true.

 

Highly recommend,

M.

I have come late to the party, so to say.

 

I did not see prices for thes beauties.

 

What is the Ballpark price for these?

 

 

And I saw a few months back talk about a blue version. Has that been abandoned?

Nice.

Will you have them at the San Francisco pen show?

Interesting design choices.

 

Well, I was going to say that I feel that the coloured versions detract from the original cap design, taking it even further away from the industrial-streamline moderne blend.[1] However, looking at them a bit more I think the middle 'taffy' striped version retains some of the original elan (well it would if the gold section end was removed). The other two are a bit of a mishmash of competing ideas IMHO.

 

If I hadn't seen the originals then these new ones would no doubt attract, but... trying to re-imagine what was a near-perfect design... not really getting it. I'll pass.

 

Such are the vagaries of style and taste!

Beautful work. So sad there is only 1 nib choice.

I saw them at the SF Pen Show.....NICE

 

@chas0039

I believe you can have them swap nibs, for a price.

Send them an email and ask.
