The pen features modular segments made from palisander rosewood, braided wire, and polycarbonate, evoking the materials and designs of Marconi's era. The mechanical intricacies, like the domed resin cap top with telegraph key haptics, pay homage to the coherer wave-detection device, a crucial component in Marconi's groundbreaking work. This limited edition of 150 rollerball pens comes with a custom wooden work cabinet, complete with steel plaques and an acrylic lid, allowing owners to display their pen as a piece of technological art. The Marconi Model 150 is more than a writing tool; it's a collector's item that captures the spirit of a bygone era and the genius of a man whose work laid the foundation for the connected world we live in today.

Features:

An intriguing new chapter from our science-minded Avanguardia series is preparing to leave our laboratory. Our new Limited Edition pays tribute to an Italian icon and titan of technological achievement.
Brass is used as a principal material for the body, grip section and for framing modular segments made from palisander rosewood, braided wire and polycarbonate. All brass elements are precision-milled on CNC-machines, and use rose-gold electroplating to mimic copper ferrules, winders and other details. A steel-wire pocket clip also uses a copper effect to simulate a vintage transmitter.
Mechanical complications provide additional highlights via a domed resin cap top with telegraph key haptics and a polycarbonate, particle-filled barrel segment – a reference to the coherer wave-detection device that was pivotal to Marconi’s discovery.
Custom packaging is perfectly married to the edition’s theme, providing owners with a wooden work cabinet finished with steel plaques, mirrors and an acrylic lid. The design’s spring-loaded cap top allows it to be suspended between two Montegrappite nodes. Alternately, owners can dismantle the pen and use the bureau’s compartments to clean, charge and arrange the various components.
