New Model: Lamy Dialog Cc (Scheduled For September?)


Lilla-My

Recommended Posts

Here's a link to the promo video for what I assume is the "Ideal" (although it's labelled "Ideos" on the video).

(I'm more won over by the Dialog)

 

(edited to hide the link, and avoid spoilers for those who may not want to see the new pen until it arrives in stores).

Thanks for posting! Looks like a combination of previous designs - accent, studio, aion. Well see!

And those little clips at the end of the barrel... aren't those reminiscent of the CP1?

 

Despite what I said in that post, it is slowly growing on me... but I still prefer the new look of the Dialog.

I don't see a way to extend/retract the nib.

 

I think someone suggested earlier in this thread that the button near the nib (the square with the embossed logo) might trigger the nib... Maybe?!? Unless Lamy has very cleverly hidden a seam around which a part of the barrel rotates (like the current model).

The video doesn't show the button moving when the nib extends. It looks more like a roll stop like on the Pico.

Of course, yes, you're right (I was too busy watching the nib, probably).

 

I just rewatached the video: at the 3 second, 14 second, and the 32 second mark, you can clearly see the seam on both pens (more prominently on the white one). Presumably then, this will be a twist operator.

Sharp eyes. I still can't see it on my phone.

Had to wear my glasses AND watching it on a 27" monitor. I can't see anything on my phone.

 

If you're really curious, it's clearest at the 14 second mark; look at the white pen, directly below where it's top edge is passing through the hoop. The seam is directly in line with the inner ring of the hoop as it strikes the top of the pen. The seam on the blue pen is a bit to the right of that line.

 

At the 32 second mark, the seam on the white pen is about two thirds of the way between the nib and the point at which the pen hits the (right hand) screen frame.

Are we talking about the Dialog cc or the Ideo?

Lamy says this about the cc:

“The LAMY dialog cc, a new variant of the capless twist-action fountain pen LAMY dialog, deserves special mention. Equipped with the same ingenious twist mechanism as the LAMY dialog, the new LAMY dialog cc is smaller and more delicate and offers numerous possibilities for use thanks to its handy size.“

I ride a recumbent, I play go, I use Macintosh so of course I use a fountain pen.

DougC and I were talking about the Dialog. He (and originally myself as well), couldn't see a seam that indicated the point around which the twist mechanism would rotate, and thus, we were wondering how the nib would be extended. But it seems we found the seam now. Apologies to everyone else who spotted this right off the bat.

If it's the same twist mechanism, does that mean it won't be any better at keeping the nib from drying out than the Dialog 3? Because I have one of those, and it doesn't do awfully well in that department. I admit, though, that a slimmer design might feel a little better.

Too high brow concept for me, i just see purdy pokey stick that writes :P

 

Why the negativity and insults?

Anything above a No.2 Pencil or a BiC Stic is just pluffery anyway.

Anything one pays above the price of those two is personal choice.

Sorry for not being clear, but that was not an insult to the pen which I like but rather the marketing of it.

 

If the same ad had a No. 2 Pencil or BiC Stic in place of the dialog cc, the sentence would be unchanged.

So basically a fountain pen version of the pico. Wish they had some type of clip for both of them.

Anyone know the status of this model? Seems like there was a lot of chatter and then ...nothing. 

 

Has this new model been seen in the wild yet? I'm eager to learn more about it or better yet get my hands on one.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
