Graf Von Faber-Castell 2022 Pen of the Year Fountain Pen: Aztecs

The Graf von Faber-Castell Pen of the Year 2022 is inspired by the culture, aesthetics and religious rites of the Aztecs. The mighty empire was based on the alliance of three city states, created in 1428 in what is now Mexico. It produced impressive works of art, a modern political system and a creation myth full of legends that still fascinate to this day. The metal barrel of the Pen of the Year 2022, with its anthracite grey Diamond Like Carbon coating, showcases a skull pattern reminiscent of the walls in the Templo Mayor – where the Aztecs offered human sacrifices to their gods to ensure the sun still rose. The pen’s grip is made of dark, smooth obsidian. The volcanic rock was used to make arrowheads and swords, and as protection against evil spirits. Turquoise adorns the end caps of the POY – a gemstone honored by the Aztecs as a valuable treasure – engraved with an eagle. The 18 carat magnum gold nib of the fountain pen, coated with ruthenium and run in by hand, promises a unique writing experience. The exclusive edition 2022 “Aztecs” is limited to 375 fountain pens and 125 rollerballs in a black lacquered wood case with certificate of authenticity.
