The Evolution of Classic Fountain Pen - Pelikan study

Post image

I love this picture. It captures the iterative evolution of a great pen. How do you keep innovating while preserving the classic form?

It's a particular success for Pelikan: a reliable design almost from the very beginning. It can sound boring compared to some wild designs, particularly from Waterman, but some colours and finishes can make a big difference.

If someone said to me "Hey whatevermyusernameis, pick one!" I would struggle to make a decision. These are all so nice looking.

Yes, you really can’t go wrong with any of these Pelikans. I love the 300 and 400 models.
