A milestone in writing history
Faber-Castell began in 1761 when cabinet maker Kaspar Faber started making pencils in Stein, near Nuremberg. Eight generations later, the family celebrates 265 years with this anniversary edition of its most iconic design, built in generous Classic Magnum proportions.
Pernambuco: the wood of fine violin bows
Pernambuco is prized for its density and deep reddish-brown colour, and it is famously used for the bows of fine string instruments. Fluted along its length, the barrel catches the light beautifully and feels warm and alive in the hand.
Details for the collector

The 18K bicolour nib
