Graf von Faber-Castell Guilloche Ciselé Light Grey Fountain Pen

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.
