New Pelikan products for 2010

[werner]

Hello all,

here is an overview for you about news of products for 2010.

Classic 205 DUO - A perfectly coordinated unit

This writing instrument features a transparent housing in neon-yellow, which lets you see its inner workings. The silver clips and ornamental rings give the pen a special elegance and a high perceived value. The piston fountain-pen has a polished stainless steel nib in thickness BB and is filled with a neon ink. Thanks to this neon effect, the Classic 205 DUO writing instrument can be used to make precise notes in a document as with a conventional fountain-pen. The Classic 205 text marker in fountain-pen form comes together with a bottle of neon yellow ink in a simple design box. It is available at a retail price of 95 € (RSP).

Souveraen fountain pen M 800 Italic - Calligraphy for a Classic

With its new special series Souverän M800 Italic, the Pelikan company will delight not only collectors, but anyone who attaches great importance to beautiful writing. The ground nib point produces vertical strokes up to 1.5 mm wide and narrow horizontal strokes. The proven Souverän 800 classic fountain-pen is available in three colours – black, green-striped and blue-striped. The black elements are made from high-grade resin; the striped casing comprises exquisitely crafted cellulose acetate.
The piston fountain-pens are adorned with the typical beak-clip and double ring, both gold-plated with 24 carats. This classic writing implement with its special nib comes in a decorative blue gift box including a brochure, which explains how to write with a calligraphy nib. Combined with a bottle of coloured ink, this is the ideal implement for reintroducing the art of writing a long letter that will delight both author and recipient alike . . .
The calligraphy piston fountain-pen is available as a Special Edition from July 2010 for a price of 415 € (RSP).

Souverän fountain pen M 800 blue o' blue

The traditional Pelikan brand is expanding its popular Souverän M800 product line with the premium series Souverän M800 blue o’ blue, paying tribute to one of the most soothing and enduring colours of nature. Constancy and harmony are found in the infinity of the blue sky and in the mighty expanse of the blue ocean.
The ‘o’ in the product name stands for the word ‘over’ and refers to the lightly transparent material of barrel and cap of this fine writing instrument, which is reminiscent of broad pinstripes layered on top of each other in several shades of blue. The soft nib of the fine fountain-pen is made of 18-carat gold with rhodium decoration and iridium tip. The Souverän M800 blue o’ blue Special Edition will be available from August 2010 as a piston fountain-pen in nib sizes F, M and B, for 390€ (RSP). Ballpoint and rollerball will be available for 390 € (RSP). Ballpoint and Rollerball will be available for 290 € (RSP).

Limited Edition "Fire"

Perfectly timed for the hot season, the long-established Pelikan company is bringing some fire of its own to the desk: the “Fire” Limited Edition writing instrument, the third fountain-pen in the “Achievements of civilisation” series, will make the hearts of collectors and devotees of elegant penmanship beat faster.
People have always burned wood and used the glowing embers of around 500 degrees Celsius and more to provide warmth and cook food. Pelikan celebrates the art of taming fire, and has produced just 500 pens in the “Fire” Limited Edition. The edition number engraved on the end of the handle proves that every fountain-pen is unique. This fine writing instrument features elaborate details. An ornate bowl of fire is engraved on the nib, clip and cap of the fountain-pen. The barrel is made of brass and lacquered several times. Flames ascend the red shaft of the fountain-pen. Each individual flame is first lasered onto the fountain-pen, polished and then plated with 24-carat gold. Five real topaz gemstones, inserted by hand, make the flames come alive, and transport devotees of the fine art of writing to a time when our ancestors had to wait for lightening to strike before they could capture the flame. The soft nib of this fine writing instrument is made of 18-carat/750 gold, and has a fine iridium tip.
The “Fire” piston fountain-pen is available in nib sizes F, M and B, and is presented in an elegant gift box together with a brochure, which provides an account of the theme of the “Achievements of civilisation” series and the intricate details of the fountain-pen.
The “Fire” Limited Edition is available in selected specialist shops from August 2010 for 1400 € (RSP).

Hello Michael,

Pelikan presents the 205 DUO at his homepage (international site) but I have never seen this pen for sale anywhere. I will look for the 205 DUO at the WEB. Here is the link to the Pelikan page:

I don't know exactly when it will be in the shops available but I think it will be in June 2010.

Am really looking forward to seeing the M800 Blue 'o Blue in person. The finish looks really interesting!

The Duo is cute. Just a question about the ink -- did Pelikan make it in-house or is it sourced from another manufacturer?

Hello,

I would like to ask some people, they could know it. If I get an answer, I will post it here.
