When the last ice age ended 12'000 years ago, North America's glaciers created a tremendous amount a melted water, which caused Lake Erie to flood. The newly formed Niagara river flows over the hard dolomite rock of the Niagara Escarpment rock formation towards the north and connects Lake Erie with Lake Ontario. On the border between the USA and Canada, the water masses collide together, separated by the Goat Island, almost 60 meters deep.
The special edition "Niagara Falls" is constructed with the finest of materials. The focal point is the metal shaft, whose silver-colored elements consist of an elaborate Rhodium alloy. The fountain pen components manufactured of noble resin glimmer in water blue. The rhodium-plated 18-carat gold nib is masterly sculpted, polished and carefully conscripted by hand. The piston fountain pen has an 18-carat gold nib with rhodanized decoration, masterfully formed, polished and carefully run in by a master’s hand. The ball-point pen is fitted with a twist mechanism and an international standard large volume cartridge. The exclusive roller-ball also delivers the look of ink handwriting with its smooth, comfortable action.

Sand visible as far as the eye can see. Every individual grain of sand in the Sahara has a story to tell. It is the grounded time of mountainous massifs, seas, rivers or the ice age. With nine million square kilometers (circa 3.5 million square miles), the Sahara is the largest dry desert on the planet and stretches from the Atlantic to the Red Sea. It came into being three billion years ago and has been flooded at least eight times in the course of time. Even in this current day, dry riverbeds can be found in the landscape – a sign that water must have once flown there. However, only 10 % of the Sahara is a sandy desert.
The special edition “Sahara” is made of the finest materials. The focal point is the metal shaft with its sand-wave structure. The filigree elements are modeled by a sophisticated guilloche, are gilded and are provided with several coats of lacquer coating. They flow into the precious resin components of the front part and ink handle. The 18-carat gold nib with rhodium trim is formed masterly, polished and diligently run in by a master’s hand. The ball-point pen is fitted with a twist mechanism. The exclusive roller-ball also delivers the look of ink handwriting with its smooth, comfortable action.
