Visconti Homo Sapiens Earth Origins Fountain Pen – Earth

Visconti is thrilled to announce the launch of their latest Homo Sapiens collection featuring Jonathon Brooks’ industry famous hand-mixed resin: the Homo Sapiens Earth Origins. Two pens inspired by the elements that make up our planet, water and earth, each limited to 388 pieces worldwide.

The four elements come together in this collection to remind us of the origins of our planet. Earth, wind, fire, and water interacting to form the materials of our existence. Inspired by the mythical and primordial forces that shaped our planet and ignited the very spark of human existence, this collection embodies the essence of timeless energy and boundless inspiration.

The “Earth” edition combines intense purple hues with swirls of vibrant gold and shimmering teal resin creating a uniquely intense palette mix. This incredible combination of resin is complemented by black PVD trims which will transport every pen collector to all regions of our planet. The clip is filled with a bright, iridescent teal – an element that ties both editions to the Origins collection.

The Homo Sapiens features a vacuum filling system that is easy to use and has considerable benefits. Patented in 1998, this is arguably the most advanced filling system ever developed in fountain pen history. The user is able to fill the pen with the equivalent of 10 cartridges of ink, and thanks to the two reservoirs, prevents ink from leaking during air travel. This revolutionary closing system is very satisfying to operate and was created to lock the pen body into the cap to prevent the possibility of the pen accidentally unscrewing and leaking inside a pocket or bag.

It comes with Visconti’s 18kt gold in-house nib with ruthenium trim, hand-crafted and manufactured in Florence, Italy. Available in EF, F, M, and B.

We do our best to photograph the pens to show how they will appear in person, but due to the nature of the material, there will be some variation in the pattern seen here. This adds an element of uniqueness to the pen, with no two patterns being exactly the same. We cannot honor special requests.
