S.T. Dupont Line D Large Carbon Fountain Pen - Glacial Cave
In keeping with S.T. Dupont's enviable reputation for luxury writing instruments at the forefront of technology, Dupont’s new 'carbon' collection combines all the unique benefits of modern day carbon graphite with S.T. Dupont’s iconic ‘Line D’ oversize writing instrument. This highly reflective carbon material is complemented by a bold matte black finish.
S.T. Dupont utilizes a specialized carbon graphite composite, a material synonymous with luxury, used in the production of modern day 'super' cars and rare mechanical timepieces. The final result is ultra-lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and aesthetically pleasing.
The Carbon Graphite collection is crafted in S.T. Dupont’s ‘oversize’ Line D writing instrument. Each pen features Dupont’s bold blazon on the articulated clip in black enamel, an enhanced Dupont 'D' in the crown of the cap and a perfectly balanced shape for exceptional writing. The pen cap closes with Dupont's iconic 'cling' and features a fluted grip section for a superb writing experience.
Perfectly engraved into each pen cap is Dupont’s iconic 'micro diamond head' design, emboldened with a matte black finish, perfectly accenting the vibrant colors of the carbon composite.
This blue and black carbon graphite fountain pen is complemented by matte black PVD and ruthenium trim. It is enhanced with a black 14kt gold nib, and fills via standard international cartridge/converter (both are included).
We do our best to photograph the pens to show how they will appear in person, but due to the nature of the material, there will be some variation in the pattern seen here. This adds an element of uniqueness to the pen, with no two patterns being exactly the same. We cannot honor special requests.
Company Background:
S.T. Dupont is a leading brand of luxury products designed and made in France. Founded in Paris in 1847 by its namesake Simon Tissot Dupont, today S.T. Dupont is world famous for their exceptional writing instruments. S.T. Dupont has been a supplier to Royals, Aristocracy and celebrities including: Coco Chanel, Leonardo DiCaprio, the British royal family, Audrey Hepburn, and Marilyn Monroe.
