Tom Hessin Revolution Fountain Pen - Ironbridge
Join the Revolution with Tom Hessin’s Revolution Fountain Pen in Ironbridge. A design of intention. The elegant colours of red sandalwood and gunmetal trim are reminiscent of Ironbridge’s famous 18th Century cast-iron bridge – located in our home county of Shropshire and just down the road from Tom Hessin HQ. Ironbridge is rich in industrial history, providing raw materials that revolutionised industrial processes. Ironbridge Gorge was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, 40 years ago, in 1986 and is today celebrated as a symbol of the Industrial Revolution.
An intentional contrast, the Revolution offers a contemporary wood and metal design with a real legacy story. Revolution Ironbridge is made with precision manufacturing techniques, using raw materials symbolic of Tom Hessin’s legacy. The wooden barrel is intentionally interrupted by two decorative bands.
Featuring a reliably smooth PVD JoWo nib x Tom Hessin, the Revolution provides a smooth writing experience. Adorning the push close cap (which can be posted) is a gunmetal clip that features an engraved five diamond design detail, emblematic of the five generations that span the Tom Hessin legacy. The understated style continues with an attractive band featuring the Tom Hessin name.
Each Revolution fountain pen is presented in a stylish Tom Hessin box, complete with pen card leaflet, ink cartridge and converter. Backed by a two-year mechanical warranty.
Note: This pen comes with an ink cartridge stored in the body. If it doesn’t fall right out, you can get it loose by giving the body a few solid taps on a hard surface.
