Retro 51 Tornado Vintage Metalsmith Nikola Tesla Rollerball / Ballpoint

An electrifying new Retro 51! Futurist, inventor, electrical and mechanical engineer Nikola Tesla was a genius well ahead of his time. His inventions are still being used to this day and his theories were so advanced that they continue to be studied and experimented on, and even today they power the modern world.

This Tornado's design was inspired by Tesla's spiral coil used in his wireless power experiments. Concentric circles are acid-etched into the barrel then plated in copper and finished with platinum appointments giving it a radiant and magnetic aesthetic. Each rollerball is loaded into a commemorative packaging tube that doubles as a pen stand when not in use. Pick up this new Tornado and rub shoulders with genius.

A Retro 51 Tornado Pen can easily be converted from rollerball to ballpoint by changing the refill. The Retro 51 Tornado pens use a Retro 51 rollerball refill (included) or standard international ballpoint refill.

Retro 51 abides by the motto that "Life is too short to carry an ugly pen!" The company is based in Dallas, Texas, and produces fashionable gift items that combine modern design with vintage quality.
