Tom Hessin Charles 1870 Gherkin Collection Sky Blue Fountain pen

Tom Hessin Charles 1870 Gherkin Collection Sky Blue Fountain Pen

The Tom Hessin Charles 1870 Gherkin Collection Sky Blue Fountain Pen takes its inspiration from one of London’s most recognisable architectural landmarks: the iconic Gherkin. Its precision-engineered metal body is finished in a refreshing sky blue lacquer with Tom Hessin’s intricate legacy diamond pattern, echoing the distinctive diamond-patterned glass façade of the London skyscraper. Substantial in the hand and unmistakably British in character, the Charles 1870 Gherkin combines contemporary architecture, refined craftsmanship and everyday writing luxury.

Sky Blue Lacquer with Signature Diamond Detailing

The Charles 1870 Gherkin Sky Blue combines its luminous lacquer finish with carefully considered details throughout the design. A British-made chrome clip features Tom Hessin’s five-diamond legacy detail, while the distinctive bird emblem finial and TOM HESSIN logo center band complete the elegant appearance. The precision-engineered metal construction provides a satisfying weight in the hand, while the screw-close cap makes this architectural writing instrument practical for regular use.

JoWo Nib for a Smooth Writing Experience

The Tom Hessin 1870 Gherkin Sky Blue Fountain Pen is fitted with a stainless steel JoWo nib featuring the Tom Hessin logo and is available in Fine, Medium and Broad nib sizes. Selected for its reliable and smooth writing performance, the JoWo nib complements the substantial character of the pen while making the 1870 Gherkin suitable for everyday writing. The fountain pen uses a convenient cartridge/converter filling system and is supplied with both a converter and a standard black ink cartridge.
