The Wingback Fountain Pen follows the tried-and-tested ergonomics of our previously released Mechanical Pen and Pencil. The cap can be removed or posted, depending on preference, and then screwed securely into position.
Unlike some fountain pens, we've opted for a sleek, consistently contoured body while using custom diamond-cut knurling to provide good purchase for your fingers.
When posted, the pen's satisfying weight puts a little extra momentum behind straight lines and circles and acts as a gentle reminder to take time over your writing and drawing, helping achieve a neater result. Uncapped, we've found it is best used for freeform sketching and quick note taking.
The Wingback Mechanical Pen has been designed to last for decades, not months, epitomising our “buy once” philosophy. Machine turned from a solid bar of aerospace-grade stainless steel, it is reassuringly weighty in the hand. A satisfying single handed twist locks the nib mechanism in place and a wide diameter reduces writing fatigue.
From design and materials to manufacture and packaging, we don’t cut corners. Our aerospace grade metal is sourced from Europe, machine turned by our manufacturing partners in Birmingham, then laser engraved, assembled and packaged in London. Everything can be personalised and made to order. It takes time, but so does anything worth holding onto.
