This extraordinary fountain pen celebrates the legendary journey from Yokohama to London, featuring a design that captures the essence of adventure and ingenuity.
The nib, made of solid Au 750 gold, is finely embossed with the image of a hot air balloon and the departure and arrival dates, including the expected return date (December 21), symbolizing precision and the race against time.
The barrel, crafted from precious glossy dark blue resin, is adorned with a pattern evocative of steam and pressure control valves, details that recall the steam era and the intensity of the journey. The cap, with its refined ruthenium finish, features an engraved pattern with the same elements and houses a cartouche with a laser-engraved train, paying tribute to the key mode of transportation in this adventure. The top of the cap, also accented with ruthenium details, is engraved with the travel times: 80 days for the journey around the world and 36 actual days from Yokohama to London.
The cone, with its ruthenium finish, is adorned with an engraving of a loosened safety chain, symbolizing a pivotal moment in the journey when the carriage detaches from the locomotive. Finally, the elegant and distinctive clip is enriched with a red lacquered heart suit, representing the marriage of Phileas Fogg and Princess Aouda, as well as the bet that set this extraordinary adventure in motion.
A work of art that embodies the charm of travel, the precision of watchmaking and the romance of one of the most compelling stories ever told. Id. 132893
