The Pen of the Year 2024 is inspired by the “Turquerie” period, the era between the 16th and 18th centuries in which the splendor, aesthetics and exotic culture of the Ottoman Empire reached Europe. The exclusive edition has been designed by a leading expert in Ottoman art, Serdar Gülgün. When describing himself, he says: “I am a translator, I transform the old into something new”.
The exclusive “Turquerie” edition of the Pen of the Year 2024 is limited to 315 fountain pens and 85 rollerball pens. The platinum-plated metal parts are adorned with 18 precious rubies. Tassels and crescent moons on the cap symbolize power, and the end piece of the cap features a stylised dome of an Ottoman tent. The fine chevron pattern decorates the barrel, cap and grip and is enhanced with decorative lacquer inlays. The 18-carat magnum bi-color gold nib promises unique writing pleasure. An engraved tortoise – a symbol of luck in the Ottoman Empire – adorns the domed end cap. The inside of the Pen of the Year reveals the intricately decorated inner sleeve.
