Description

The Retro 51 Tornado Acrylic collection transforms the act of writing into something more—a creative ritual shaped by color, clarity, and craftsmanship. Made from radiant, high-gloss acrylic and offered in three expressive finishes—Opal White, Ruby Red, and Sapphire Blue—each pen is designed to reflect not just your style, but your state of mind. These translucent, jewel-like barrels catch the light in motion, turning everyday writing into a refined sensory experience.

Each color tells its own story. Opal White shines with soft, pearlescent tones, capturing the quiet energy of fresh beginnings. Ruby Red radiates bold intensity and emotion, perfect for writing with passion and purpose. Sapphire Blue offers a deep, calm elegance—ideal for reflective moments and thoughtful expression. Together, these finishes give voice to different moods, inviting you to choose your tool based on what you want your words to convey.

With its smooth twist-action mechanism, polished metal trim, and exceptional balance in hand, the Tornado Acrylic is more than a pen—it’s a statement. Unique variations in the acrylic ensure that no two pieces are the same, making each pen a personal and artistic extension of the writer. Whether you’re starting something new, capturing emotion, or pausing to reflect, this collection offers a stylish, elevated way to bring your thoughts to life.

Complete pile of shite

Bought a Gravitas Monster. Kept in pen sleeve in padded case. Used carefully. Treated carefully. Filled twice. Noticed ink all over my hand. No obvious problem. When home I emptied the pen and notice a thin crack in the barrel at the "turning knob" end, just before the aluminium. Now unusable. Ink seeping out. Complete waste of money. Complete crap. Either desire flaw, or poor materials or both. Watch out. Will never buy another Gravitas POS, nor from this retailer again.

Quality engineering

I skipped the original aluminum Monster mainly due to fear of slipperiness. I've had issues with other aluminum pens and I seem to recall multiple reviewers mentioning such with the aluminum Monster. I heard no such complaints for the stone washed titanium one so I eventually went for it. I'm glad I did!

The large broad nib is silky smooth, the matte finish comfortably grippy, the vacuum filling system well made and the ink capacity very impressive. The body is nice and thick and feels suitably hefty. I also like the look of the matte finish. Matte doesn't seem to be quite as common in fountain pens as all kinds of shiny finishes (which can obviously be great too!) so it's nice whenever it's an option.

I'm not used to pens without any kind of roll stop but at least on my shall we say busy desk the Monster is quite safe from falling. I'm not sure if the Ultem in this one is supposed to be sturdier than the acrylic in some other versions or not but better be safe in any case.

Shipping was quick and secure and included a traditional handwritten letter from Emy. Thank you!

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.

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 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.
