For those who like to unscrew their writing instruments: to put on the screw cap of this cylindrical fountain pen by Loclen, a brass ring covering the thread on the back must first be unscrewed and screwed on where the cap was before. In this way, the cylindrical shape of the pen is not interrupted when closed.

In Italy, more precisely near Venice, Loclen has been manufacturing high-quality brass writing instruments since 2008. All barrel parts are turned on-site from solid material, then partly knurled or brushed; the visible brass parts are left raw. The company sources the nibs, refills and mechanisms used from various German manufacturers; however, Loclen – Carlo Vazzoler, owner and creative head, places great importance on the point – produces entirely in Italy. The brand’s products fascinate with refined materiality and pure artistry and impress by special design features – above all, the fountain pen with converter.
