In the beginning was the nib, the heart of every fountain pen. It is the nib that turns a pen into a “tool” that places ink, and with it our thoughts, ideas, feelings and worries, onto paper. Any such heart should receive the utmost care – that at least is our philosophy as a fountain pen manufacturer. We have thought long and hard about how to embellish our nibs while avoiding processes that reduce quality. One call to the widely known German nib manufacturer “JoWo Berliner Schreibfeder GmbH” and we were finally on the right track: customized embossing! So, we packed our bags and made our way to JoWo in Berlin, where we spent three hours exploring the options, and finally, after a fruitful brainstorming session with the CEO and Purchasing and Sales Manager, set the definitive basic design for our custom-embossed nib in stone. Six weeks later, the final design was ready (we took a bit longer than expected to decide about the type of the sun and the font of “Italia”) and we could finally commission production…
Holding the nib produced for us by JoWo in our hands, we could not be any prouder. Thank you very much, JoWo Berliner Schreibfeder GmbH!
