When it comes to communicating, most of us use phones or laptops. Texts, phone calls, and emails are the main way we stay in touch. But what about those times you need to sign a document or draft a handwritten letter? This calls for a sophisticated pen that can do the job while also catching the eye of those around you. What you need is one of Visconti’s luxury pens.

What Is Visconti? 

Visconti is an Italian brand known the world over for its luxury pens. Constructed by master craftsmen using both traditional and modern methods, Visconti has become recognized for its quality workmanship and variety of materials made when creating its luxury pens. Along with making pens using traditional materials such as resin, stainless steel, titanium, carbon, and celluloid, they are the first company to use lava dust in the creation of their fountain pens. 

The Italian company doesn’t only specialize in writing instruments, it also offers a selection of watches and leather accessories.

Why Are They So Revered?

What sets Visconti apart from other luxury pen brands is its dedication to the craft. The brand is on a “quest for beauty. The desire to make exclusive writing instruments has driven” the company to “steadily grow while consistently maintaining the highest quality standards of each individual handmade piece.”

The brand’s luxury pens are created using a wide range of techniques, including the Scrimshaw Technique (used to engrave the bodies and caps of fountain pens), the Maki-e Technique (a Japanese lacquering process that is similar to hand painting designs on pens), and the delicate Filigree Technique that weaves and applies different metal threads to the body of the pen. This painstakingly slow metalwork technique can take up to 30 hours to complete. 

Based on their writing style and aesthetic tastes, customers can choose between three different types of writing instruments, fountain pens, rollerball pens, or ballpoint pens that are not just incredible to handle, but also beautiful works of art.
