Tom Hessin Charles 1870 Gherkin Fountain Pen Sky Blue - Broad is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
The Charles 1870 Gherkin takes its design from the London skyscraper of the same name. The precision-engineered metal barrel carries legacy diamond detail, which picks up the building’s diamond-patterned glass façade and Tom Hessin’s own diamond motif. The surface plays with texture and light.
In Sky Blue, the barrel is finished in sky blue lacquer, with a British-made chrome clip, a bird emblem finial and a Tom Hessin logo band. The chrome-finish JoWo iridium nib gives a reliably smooth writing experience, and the screw-close cap gives a tighter, more reliable seal. It comes with two black ink cartridges and a converter, in a luxury Tom Hessin gift box. It’s also backed by a two-year mechanical warranty.
