From chemist to king of inks. Carl Hornemann had two significant traits that characterized his undertakings: Scientific expertise and a great deal of passion. Thus, he founded a paint and ink factory that grew to become a company of great international success. Pelikan is celebrating “180 years of passion” on 28th of April 2018!
Our anniversary icon is an homage to the stylish Souverän with a fine, pinstriped appearance. A charismatic presence with a unique spirit. Small stones with a dazzling effect. You can see that the famous pelican in the cap is guarding its chicks, and if you look further, you will also find that it has laid three radiant diamonds in its nest. They are an allegory for the values of trust, reliability, and being Made in Germany, all of which Pelikan takes very seriously. A silver-plated gold nib with special engraving crowns the “Spirit of 1838”. You notice it at first glance: The ink in this pen is also its lifeblood. Each piece is unique and features an engraved edition number too.
Classic elegance meets a premium finish. High-sheen silver ornamentation decorates the cap, rings, and Pelikan clip on our anniversary edition. The barrel also appears elegant with fine sterling silver and soft guilloche. If you are lucky enough to call this treasure your own, it will certainly be a special favorite in your collection.
