Item Description

Write in style with the Graf von Faber-Castell Luxury Writing Pen.

The culmination of the history of the pencil is the "Perfect Pencil" from Graf con Faber-Castell. Enjoyment in writing and sketching with the classic pencil means that it should always be sharp. The sharpener is located on the pencil, integrated in the platinum extender, which protects it while making it suitable to keep in your pocket. The pencil extender with integrated sharpener occupies a special position in the collection. Together with the replaceable eraser under the pencil's cap, everything is always quickly accessible within the smallest space- for writing, correcting, and sharpening.

In 1761, Kaspar Faber started to produce pencils in Stein, near Nuremberg. When the fourth generation Baron Lothar von Faber took over the company in 1839 he turned the pencil into a true quality product and the world's first branded writing instrument. Over the centuries, he and his descendants created remarkable products, and it was a challenge to the company to rediscover the past and to transfer it to the present with timeless design and modern technology. The result is the Graf von Faber-Castell Collection, a range of extraordinary writing instruments and accessories. To me, they embody "Luxury in Simplicity" by combining selected materials, functionality and superb aesthetics.
