Description

The most iconic model from Visconti is the Bronze Age Homo Sapiens. Made to be resilient, flame-proof, and slightly hygroscopic, absorbing the moisture from the hands. Basaltic lava from the Etna volcano is mixed in the resin and made into a patented material used by Visconti for this pen. This unique lava material is complemented by solid bronze trims. You can leave the bronze trims to age and get patina or polish them with a cloth for an ephemeral shiny look. 

This pen comes equipped with a rose gold plated Visconti 14k Gold oversized nib. You can choose the nib from the 5 sizes available: Extra Fine, Fine, Medium, Broad, and Stub 1.3mm.

The generous ink capacity is available with the Visconti patented vacuum Power Filler. This filling system is made entirely from titanium resisting ink corrosion. The weight of this pen is well distributed making it comfortable for an extended writing session. This pen can't be accidentally uncapped, it features the Hook Safe Lock trademark capping mechanism. Customize your Visconti with the magnetized My Pen system. Choose between name initials, natural stones, or zodiac signs to swap the Visconti logo coin on the finial.

Awesome pen and service as always

This was one of my first grail pens, and it has definitely lived up to expectations. Thank you to Emy and the Pen Venture team for taking the time to help me decide on the best nib for me and then tune it to perfection. The 18k Extra Fine nib is wet and smooth while keeping a fine line with a hint of feedback.

The vacuum system and toughness of this pen have made it a perfect traveling companion so far, and it has been inked constantly since I received it.

Thanks again to the Pen Venture team for your excellent service

Love this pen.

I have always said I would get one of these but was concerned due to reviews on quality control. But I knew Emy would check it before sending it out so I made the leap. It writes amazingly well. The weight of the pen is perfect. The nib is smooth and lays more ink than I am used to from an EF so it shows off your ink. I wish I had purchased this a long time ago. The personal touch added by Pen Venture of my initials on the finial is just amazing. Thank you Emy for another wonderful pen.

Gravitas - Vac 2.0 Aluminium | Black
Richard L Sherman
Gravitas Vac 2

The construction of the Vac 2 is flawless. The textures of the materials and it's simple lines display an elegant beauty. The large steel nib delivers a pleasant writing experience and also provides a bit of flex.

Gravitas - Vac 2.0 Aluminium | Black

Amazing Pen! Gravitas makes one of the best piston fillers out there. I dont keep the nib and normally use the pen for coustom flex nibs with Jowo #6 compatible nib units. So, i really cant speak on the nib. However, this pen is just built with high quality components. The weight, feel, and overall aesthetics are unmatched. You wont find better at this price point.

Platinum - #3776 Century Kaga Maki-e Sansui GT
Robert Moore
Platinum Sansui - Smooth Operator

I recently acquired the Platinum Maki-e Sansui pen in a Medium nib. The Pen Venture team was kind enough to carefully inspect and tune this pen before sending it on to me. Many thanks for that. It writes very smoothly and with a steady flow of ink. The Medium nib is my favorite nib configuration from the Platinum brand. The line width is nice and thin and always writes consistently right of the box. This lovely Maki-e pen was no different. I highly recommend it.

Gravitas #6 extra fine nib

The extra fine nib came tuned to perfection—a joy to write with. Thank you Emy!

Gravitas - Vac 2.0 Aluminium | Black
Jimmie
FANTASTIC!

The VAC 2.0 is a great improvement to an already great pen (the original VAC Ultem). The weight and balance are spot on. The cap and the new threads engage without hesitation. No missed closures and the cap has a nice stop when threading back on. It posts securely without issue. Filling with the Kraken system is easy. I got a medium nib and it is smoooooooth. Mine is on par with my 823 medium nib The smoothness, wetness and bounce would make you think it's a gold nib. Line width is slightly narrower than the 823 medium. The pen feels solid and well built. I'm not worried about this one getting knocked around. Overall a great pen. Shipping from Pen-Venture to Colorado was five days! Great pen and service all around!

My wonderful first Titan pen

Beautiful colour. The nib is smooth and wet. The grip section is textured, I will not worry about writing with it in hot weather. This is my first demonstrator pen, I love watching the ink level drops (very slowly) in the barrel. The package is packed very securely. Thank you staffs at Pen Venture.
