Fountain pen Pen of the Year 2020 Ruthenium, Medium

The Pen of the Year 2020 is inspired by the Greek heroes of Sparta and their king Leonidas. The Spartiates discipline and superiority are legendary, acquired in a strict education from childhood onwards. In homage to the art of metalworking which was applied to produce Spartan armour, short swords and shields the distinctive barrel of the writing instruments is adorned with premium diamonds which are set by hand. The milled, matt grip zone is a reference to the warriors’ breastplate. The milled decorations on the barrel are reminiscent of the archaic patterns on the Spartans protective, precisely fitting battle dress. The spring-loaded clip on the cap of the Pen of the Year 2020 is based on the shape of the Greek ridge helmet.
