Tom Hessin Revolution Fountain Pen - Palace Gates
Inspired by the Industrial Revolution, the Revolution Palace Gates by Tom Hessin celebrates an era when Birmingham became the world's leading centre of metalworking and manufacturing. As new production techniques transformed the city into the Workshop of the World, beautifully crafted iron gates became symbols of engineering excellence, protecting and adorning some of the world's most celebrated palaces and landmarks.
An intentional contrast, the Revolution offers a contemporary wood and metal design with a real legacy story. The warm ebony wood barrel contrasts with a gold-plated metal trim, reminiscent of the colours of palace gates. Fitted with a smooth black PVD-coated Jowo × Tom Hessin nib, Revolution delivers an effortless writing experience. The push-close cap, which can also be securely posted, is finished with an electroplated gold clip engraved with Tom Hessin's signature five-diamond emblem. Completing the design is an end stud detail, featuring the Hessin bird and is today a symbol of Tom Hessin’s commitment to quality.
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.
