Overview

The Graf von Faber-Castell Pen of the Year 2024 fountain pen takes its Ottoman inspiration from Turquerie, the European fascination with Ottoman culture between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries. Ottoman art expert Serdar Gülgün collaborated on the design, which sets 18 rubies into a highly polished, platinum-plated metal barrel.

Fine chevron engraving runs across the barrel, cap, and grip, with lacquer inlays accentuating the pattern. Tassels and crescent moons on the cap recall symbols of power. Its top evokes the dome of an Ottoman tent, and an engraved tortoise on the domed end cap refers to a symbol of good fortune in the Ottoman Empire.

The fountain pen has a handmade 18k two-tone gold nib and a piston filling system for bottled ink. Unscrewing the barrel gives access to the filling system and reveals a decorated inner sleeve. A screw-on cap and solid metal clip complete the construction.

Made in Germany, the edition comprises 315 individually numbered fountain pens. The polished black wooden case includes a brochure and authenticity certificate, plus an additional insert with space for six other writing instruments.

Questions & Answers

What is Turquerie, and how does it shape this edition?

Turquerie was the European fascination with Ottoman culture between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries. Developed with Ottoman art expert Serdar Gülgün, this edition interprets that influence through chevron engraving, lacquer inlays, rubies, and motifs drawn from Ottoman tents and symbols.

How are the rubies and lacquer incorporated?

Eighteen rubies are set into the platinum-plated metal barrel. Lacquer inlays accentuate the finely engraved chevron pattern across the barrel, cap, and grip.

What do the tent dome, crescents, and tortoise signify?

The cap top recalls the dome of an Ottoman tent. Tassels and crescent moons refer to symbols of power, while the engraved tortoise on the domed end cap represents good fortune in the Ottoman Empire.

What is unusual about accessing the filling system?

The barrel unscrews to give access to the piston filling system for bottled ink. Opening it also reveals the decorated inner sleeve.

What comes with the numbered pen?

The polished black wooden case includes a brochure and authenticity certificate. An additional insert provides space for six other writing instruments.
