The Guilloche series owes its name to the grain guilloche, an elaborate engraving that allows the surface relief to change depending on the incidence of light.
Guilloches - ornamental patterns of fine, engraved lines - originally adorned precious watches and accessories such as the legendary Fabergé eggs. Graf von Faber-Castell uses this traditional jewelling technique to transform the writing instruments in the Guilloche series into true pieces of jewellery: The precious resin barrel is given a filigree pattern line by line and then further refined in manual lacquering and polishing processes.
The result is a unique and most interesting surface texture. No two writing implements are identical: each is an individual example of the craftsman’s art.
