Description

Introducing the Visconti Checkmate, a luxurious fountain pen that transcends the traditional boundaries of writing instruments to become a work of art and a medium of strategic play. Inspired by the elegance and intellectual depth of chess, the Checkmate fountain pen merges sophistication and creativity, offering an unparalleled experience for connoisseurs and chess enthusiasts alike. This exquisite pen isn’t just for writing; it’s a celebration of distinction and ingenuity, meticulously crafted to provide a tactile and visual connection to the timeless game of chess.

The Checkmate is uniquely designed to serve as a miniature chessboard, capturing the intricate details of an 8x8 grid in a stunning three-dimensional cylindrical format. Magnetic chess pieces, crafted for precise maneuvering, allow users to transform any environment into a creative battleground where strategy unfolds with every move. Encased in fine bronze with a beautifully enameled checkerboard, each square is masterfully detailed, while the sides are engraved with letters A to H, authentically reflecting the traditional chessboard layout. This attention to detail is paired with practical features, including a cap engraved with “Visconti” and “Checkmate,” ensuring both elegance and ease in every use.

Presented in an elegant chessboard-inspired box of refined wood in ivory and brown tones, Checkmate is more than a writing instrument—it is an immersive experience. The custom case includes 32 miniature chess pieces in silver and bronze, allowing the pen to serve not only as a tool but as a game. True to Visconti's legacy of innovation, the Checkmate pen is equipped with an 18kt gold nib, double reservoir power filler, and a magnetic closure that perfectly aligns the chess pattern. Limited to only 88 pieces worldwide, this exceptional pen transforms luxury into an interactive experience, bringing both play and sophistication to the hands of its owner.

Gravitas - Sentry Raw Brass
Alex
Hammer time!

I bought the pens to customize to my liking using a dremel tool for a hammered finish. Although a bit heavy (something to keep in mind, brass pens are on the heavier side) it feels great in hand and writes beautifully.

Gravitas - Quark Zirconium Stone Washed Pocket Pen | New |
Alex
Love the "zing"

To be fully honest, I bought the pen for the interesting material and for the awesome sound it makes. Ordered it in broad and as expected, it's a pleasure to write with. Will carry with it daily to impress and annoy my friends at work :)

Gravitas - Vac 2.0 Aluminium | Black
Alex
Slick design and a great writer

Gravitas does it again. The new nib is a delight to write with and the minimalistic / industrial design is awesome. I’ve used the pen for a few hours now, fits great in hand and is well balanced. I feel like the pen is at the border of casual sport and elegance, and you can match a good variety of inks to it. Black will never go out of fashion.

Leonardo - Momento Magico Fantasie Primary Manipulation 4 by J.Brooks
Cosmin R.
A joy to write with!

Got this pen with a Broad nib. It is slightly smaller than the other Momento Magico fountain pen I have (Onda Blue), and the structure of the cap band is different, but overall, it has a very pleasant feel in hand. Light, but solid.
The looks of this pen are mesmerizing. Beyond the bright and cheerful nuances, the resin mix has a certain sheen that gives the waves of colour a lovely 3D effect.
Also, I don't know how much of the nib quality is from the factory, and how much is from Emy's tuning, but the Rose Gold #6 Steel Broad nib on this pen has been amazing so far. It writes surprisingly consistently after both minutes and weeks of time capped, silky smooth and surprisingly capable even when used upside down (in which case it goes down from B to M-F).
I filled it with Waterman Tender Purple ink, and found it to be a great combination, the smoothness and shading adding up to a truly magical writing experience.

Gravitas - Monster Grade 5 Titanium & Ultem | Stone Washed
Nikki Egleton Volz
Favorite Pen, hands down

I was hesitant to buy a Gravitas Monster because I saw a lot of users online mention how fragile the barrel is. Essentially if you drop it from even a short distance, the acrylic barrel is toast. At this price point, a pen so fragile sounded like a bad move. But I REALLY wanted one because it looks so cool, its got a huge ink capacity, and some reviewers said the nib is very well tuned right out of the box. The positive nib reviews and the fact that there is an Ultem version sold me on this pen.

Instead of going with the acrylic barreled version, I opted for the Ultem barrel with titanium. I haven't dropped it yet, as I am careful to keep it in the padded case it came in, and I only use it when I am seated at a desk.

I got an extra fine nib, and loaded it up with Pilot Iroshizuki grey ink. This giant #8 extra fine nib is an absolute pleasure to write with. It is so smooth and so consistent across my fountain pen friendly papers. (Colorverse notebook, Endless notebook, and leuchtturm notebook) I love the weight and feel of this pen in my hand. I can only describe it as, "solidly and definitively present." But it's not taxing to write with it for long periods. I love it so much I have to fight the urge to buy the green Monster with the acrylic barrel.
