Visconti Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee

[Appelboompen]

The Diamond Jubilee: An International Celebration Of Royalty, Heritage and Excellence.

 

The 60° Anniversary Diamond Jubilee pen by Visconti is made in royal purple color with platinum plated trims and in imperial ruby color with gold plated trims. Both are enriched with dedicated band and decorated with the reproduction of the Imperial State Crown. This famous crown is set with over 3,000 precious stones, including the 317 carat Cullinan II diamond, and is worn annually by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II at the State Opening of Parliament. Both this precious editions will be limited to just 600 numbered pieces worldwide and should be a sought-after collector's item.

 

This beautiful Fountain Pen is offered with the Visconti exclusive unique most precious nib: the famous 23Kt Pd dream touch nib. The pen uses a piston filling system.

 

Visconti has been chosen as official partner to celebrate at the same time both the Her Majesty Queen Elisabeth II 60° Anniversary Diamond Jubilee and the 175° Anniversary of the Army & Navy Club. Army & Navy club is the most prestigious, ancient and exclusive club in London founded in 1837 by Lieutenant General Sir Sir Edward Barnes. The club has its headquarters in London, Washington DC and New York.

 

Elizabeth II was born on 21 April 1926. The Queen married on 20 November, 1947, with Prince Philip. She ascended the throne on February 6, 1952 upon the death of her father, King George VI. Her coronation, at Westminster Abbey, followed on June 2, 1953. Her reign of 60 years is the second-longest for a British monarch; only Queen Victoria has reigned longer, almost 64 years.

 

This outstanding pen comes in a luxurious box, complete with the official Army & Navy Club and Diamond Jubilee Logo.

 

The name Visconti has been for the past twenty years a synonym for writing instruments of extraordinary beauty, historically and technologically studied. The fountain pens, rollers and ballpoint pens by Visconti make up a wide range of high quality instruments with a strong identification.

 

Below some pictures, this beautiful pen will be available at the end of May 2012.

 

You can pre-order the pen at our webshop.

Will Visconti be presenting one of these to Her Majesty?

I like the return of the Voyager clip, even if the springs tend to corrode and/or snap. Colors and furniture are fine, with exception of the crown on the plunked down on top of the cap. Egads, a bit like the souvenirs one can buy all over London. Not doing it for me.

I assume that the Queen will receive one.

I guess that the HHM will get one ass well! But if she will write with it...

 

An ass well? How does one write with an ass (well)? :roflmho:

Wish they'd make some plain Yoyagers in these colors.

Agreed! Love the colors, can't handle the little crown at the end of the cap... A simple voyager/ragtime type design with this material would be stunning.

A divina, opera master, or wallstreet in this material would be nice too.

 

Materials like this, and those of the new Van Goghs, suggest that Viconti will be able to continue it's tradition of beautifully complex material colours, despite celluloid becoming unavailable.

Yes at the end of the month! I believe she is being given number 1.
