A stylish meeting of past and present, Kaweco's Original Fountain Pen combines a sleek, '50s-inspired form with the German pen maker's modern octagonal design to create an elegant writing instrument that feels timeless in its sophistication.

The most striking detail is the matte-finish aluminium body, which takes a more subtle approach than Kaweco is known for. Subdued and dignified, the aluminium is finished with an anodised coating to keep the surface of the pen elegant and scratch-free.

The length of the barrel is also something of a departure for modern-day Kaweco, with a much longer grip than the Sport lending itself to greater comfort over long writing sessions. Notably, the grip is also convex, giving it a decidedly different feel than the contemporary Kaweco range.

By drawing on pen designs from so many decades ago and giving them a modern twist, Kaweco's Original Fountain Pen combines decades of experience with a respect for history that gives this pen an identity all its own.
