Visconti Qwerty Limited Edition
Visconti renders hommage to the invention of the standardized typewriter keyboard with the new Qwerty Limited Edition. Beyond its fun and fanciful design, this is also an eminently practical writing instrument with Visconti's high capacity power fill system and provided with your choice of 18k solid gold black-plated nib.
Our complimentary nib tuning ensures that your Visconti fountain pen will have writing qualities equal to its appearance, and our optional nib customizations can add to the character and distinctiveness of your writing on the page.
Being produced in just 388 numbered pieces worldwide, the Visconti Limited Edition Qwerty takes its inspiration from Christopher Sholes' invention of the standardized typewriter keyboard in 1864. The pen body itself is encased by an aged sterling silver overlay accented with detailing in enamel, while the center band is hand engraved in the Visconti workshop in Florence and then enameled with "Qwerty" in both lower and upper case. Even the clip features a period element designed to emulate a traditional typewriter key.
Rounding out the presentation of this remarkable writing instrument is the presentation box, designed in the style of a 19th century Remington typewriter. The upper part, with a hinged opening in aged-silver, contains a red and black glass ink bottle. The lower section, where the pen is stored, has a magnetic closure system and a glass window that allows a glimpse of the writing instrument itself. The lid is embellished with aged silver and ivory enameled keys that make up the word "Qwerty." The case also features an aged silver plaque with the Visconti logo, reminiscent of typewriter strikers.
