Visconti Homo Sapiens Dark Crystal is a homage to all pen users who enjoy a functional and elegant writing instrument, enhanced by technical and stylistic features.
Resin and basalt lava powder are matched by black trim and a smoke and large ink window on body that shows you the ink level and how the filling mechanism works. Also the ring where grip section meets the body is made of transparent resin in smoke color with the engraving Homo Sapiens on it.
Homo Sapiens is the best seller from the Florentine factory where we can admire all Visconti innovations. The cap features "Hook Safe Lock" system that is easy to use and safe. But the most important feature is the Visconti's patent Double Reservoir Power Filler that allows a great ink capacity and safe usage in extreme conditions (for example on air flights).
The basaltic lava from Etna is hand turned form the Visconti craftsman keeping the features of this charming material. 18 KT gold nib.
