Visconti is thrilled to announce the launch of their latest Homo Sapiens collection featuring Jonathan 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.
Homo Sapiens Earth Origins: Water
Deep purple hues and intense blue tones interweave with a vibrant iridescent teal bringing life to the "Water" edition. These natural resins are mixed and swirled creating images of the dark ocean depths and the glimmering light at the ocean surface. Each pen is accented by palladium trim to compliment the cool resin tones. The clip is filled with a bright, iridescent teal - an element that ties both editions of the Origins collection.
Double-Reservoir Power Filler
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.
18k Gold Nib
Visconti's 18kt gold in-house nib hand-crafted and manufactured in Florence, Italy.
Hook Safe Lock
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.

The Zen Of Fine Writing
Sad news, Friends... Our physical store in Biltmore Village has been completely destroyed. It's been devastating for us and has been emotionally hard to process or even get our minds around. The flood waters basically swirled all the way to the ceilings, literally smashing everything to bits and leaving everything coated in toxic mud.
During our transition we have set up a "Current Offerings" category where we will be adding new items daily. We're hoping this will help us bridge the gap during our transition. So please keep checking back as you will find something new each time you stop by.
If any of you feel inclined, we have set up a Go Fund Me site for donations. Here is the link to that: https://www.gofundme.com/f/join-us-in-restoring-a-beloved-local-haven
