Charles 1870 Gherkin "All Black" Fountain Pen
Precision Engineered – All Black
Inspired by London's iconic Gherkin, the Charles 1870 Gherkin All Black Fountain Pen celebrates one of the city's most recognisable landmarks through refined design and meticulous craftsmanship. The precision-engineered metal barrel reflects the building's distinctive diamond-patterned glass façade while echoing Tom Hessin's enduring diamond motif, creating a striking interplay of texture and light.
All Black pairs deep black lacquer with intricate legacy diamond detail, offset by a British-made clip in black PVD, a bird emblem finial and Tom Hessin logo band. A PVD black JoWo iridium nib gives a reliably smooth writing experience.
All Black is also available with the gold-plated Tom Hessin Ultra Flex nib: a specialised, highly springy nib whose tines spread easily under hand pressure, creating dramatic line variation from a fine stroke to a broad line.
