New Visconti Cesar Firenze Limited Editions

[Nibs.com]

Being made available in just 59 numbered pieces worldwide each, the Visconti Cesar Firenze Rose Gold and Cesar Firenze Silver limited editions are scheduled to arrive this later this month. Featuring handcrafted celluloid on a new Visconti body design, these pens fill using Visconti's high capacity Power Fill system and are provided with your choice of 18k solid gold or 23k solid palladium nib, depending on the tipping size.

 

We have secured a very small number of these pens for our customers and are now accepting pre-orders - you will not be charged until your pen arrives and is ready to ship to you. In the event of demand exceeding supply, the earliest received orders will be fulfilled first. Retail $995, our price $796.00. We are an authorized Visconti retailer.

Polished section. When will pen makers learn that a big chunk of us can't use them because we have oily hands?

 

They also just look cheap. Both would look so much better with that gorgeous lapis celluloid for the section.

I prefer the polished metal section over a celluloid one. I life in Asia and not always sit in an air conditioned office and don't have any issues.

It's not the sweat, it's the oils from your fingers. Many people just have naturally oilier hands, and that makes the grips slippery and unpleasant.

completely agree with this.

[Iittala]

I agree as well. Polished metal sections are not nice to hold and look cheap in combination with the beautiful celluloid body.

[roadrunner320]

I can't agree. I prefer metal over "plastic" I feels and looks more premium in my eyes. I own pens that have either, but prefer metal one.

The metal narrow section screams kit pen, hence cheap.

Simple die-cast, sure. This is not the case here.

I doubt it's die cast, however whatever the manufacture technique they are likely to be very similar processes for the section.

 

Of course this is subjectively regarding the aesthetics and feel of such a section. It is still a cheap looking section IMO and fails to compliment the barrel. I've never been a fan of the large step down from barrel to section, also metal sections and this pen has both features.

Shiny metal section is a no-no to me too. The only two types tolerable are sterling silver and matt finish titanium (for example, Montegrappa Extra 1930 or Conid Kingsize Demo), if it's tastefully done. I have a Visconti Van Gogh, beautiful pen but slippery section, not getting much use. The step-down is not ideal but I understand that they probably want a cap/barrel flush design.

Agree, it's not die cast and I would have no problem writing with it.

I don't have problems with metal sections. The pen is beautiful. I wonder how smooth the 23k palladium nib is. I haven't had any experience with palladium nibs. It does surprise me that they are making palladium nibs right now with the cost of the metal being so much higher over the last year or so.

+1...I stopped buying pens with metal grips...too slippery.

[como]

This celluloid is absolutely beautiful nevertheless.
