The Carbon Fiber overlay was manufactured by Carbon Dream by the same highly skilled people who make the carbon fiber for Bugatti and other Italian sports cars. The manufacturing process was very complex: sheets of frozen carbon fiber were used and shaped till the desired design was reached; then they were finished to perfection. For the first time in pen history fine carbon weaving has been cut and used to obtain detailed overlay for a pen. Visconti has crafted the carbon fibre into the characteristic design of the Ripple, a Visconti manufacturing icon. The transparent resin adds deepness to the pen and allows us to catch a glimpse of the famous mechanism of the Double Reservoir Power Filler. Whilst the overlay is made from Carbon Fibre, all trims are made from titanium and PDV Plated. The nib is the famous 23 ct Dreamtouch Palladium nib.The pen is offered in a special presentation box with a unique carbon fiber inkwell. It is unused with complete packaging. Nib grade: M. Serial: 223/993. Length 15 cm. Excellent
