Visconti the released its carbon fiber ripple.
Named the Carbon Dream
Numbered to 993 pens worldwide.
The Carbon Fiber Overlay is made by the same people and the same factory that make the Carbon Fiber for Bugatti as well as other Italian Sports cars. The Carbon Fiber is in sheets and has to be kept frozen until it takes its final shape and then finished. This is the first time Carbon Fiber has been used in an cut out overlay for a pen.
Carbon Dream represents a milestone in carbon fiber workmanship, for the first time in pen history fine carbon weaving has been cut and used as a detailed overlay for a pen. Visconti has crafted the carbon fiber into the characteristic design of the Ripple, a Visconti manufacturing icon. The transparent resin adds deepth to the pen and allows us to catch a glimpse of the famous mechanism of the Double Reservoir Power Filler.
While the overlay is made from Carbon Fibre, all trims are made from titanium. Thus this unique demonstrator pen joins two technological materials for excellence.
