Conway Stewart 'Babbage' Edition 2007
The Conway Stewart Babbage edition is a spectacular celebration of the life and work of Charles Babbage. With a simple and straightforward cylindrical cap and barrel, the Babbage pays homage to the underlying structure of Babbage's work. Both the cap and barrel are covered in an intricate pattern of engine turned engraving in a concentric circular pattern. The result is at once simple and intricate, a perfect reflection on the work of Charles Babbage.
The Conway Stewart Babbage edition is being made as a roller ball, an eminently practical choice for today's lover of fine writing instruments. Roller ball pens offer the luxurious feel of the fountain pen's liquid ink combined with the rugged practicality of the ball-point pen. The Babbage is also designed as a clipless pen, intended to be carried in a briefcase, organiser or handbag, and sized to fit the pen loops built into these. In keeping with the life of Charles Babbage, practicality and attention to detail form the pre-eminent aspects of this design.
All Conway Stewart writing instruments come with a 100-year guarantee. It is the ultimate proof of absolute confidence. |
