VISCONTI RAGTIME 20TH ANNIVERSARY LIMITED EDITION FOUNTAIN PEN

On October 20th 1988 Visconti was founded in Florence with the intention of introducing exquisite writing instruments on the market made according to handicraft techniques and precious materials like our grandpas’ pens were. After an initial experimenting period a new writing instrument entered the market: Ragtime. This pen represented a great novelty for its design, filling system and name. Ragtime in fact is the music  that at the end of 19th century set the basis for Jazz and this is the sense and the message connected to this pen collection that for more than 6/7 years had been the heart of Visconti production and was widely appreciated by collectors and brand supporters. After twenty years Visconti has revised the technical drawings and updated them with the actual techniques, by renovating the old moulds for clips and modifying them with new engravings. Also the construction philosophy is the same: an elegant pen built with handicraft precision, turned from single bars and sold at a reasonable cost. This Ragtime celebrating twenty years of Visconti production has a very special detail for any pen lover: the cap, turned in one piece, is provided by two 14 KT solid gold rings, which are externally force-fit on it as a support, according to an ancient expertise, well known to the Visconti technicians. Ragtime Anniversary is in limited edition and numbered on the basis of the company foundation year: 1988 fountain pens, 1988 rollers, 1988 ballpoints. Ragtime is sold in a three pens set: fountain pen, roller and ball pen with box as a free gift, including three stones (onyx, pearl and tiger’s-eye) with their special tool to customize the three writing instruments.
