The TIBALDI DRACO (Dragon) Fountain & Rollerball Pens

The fountain pen is hand painted with a mighty portrait of the Dragon on the barrel, whilst the body of the roller ball boasts an elegant image of the Dragon. Designed, painted and produced with supreme precision and craftsmanship, TIBALDI pens are ornate accessories and masterpieces of technological innovation. Each TIBALDI DRACO (Dragon) pen is a precious limited edition writing instrument. Only 99 sets consisting of fountain pen and roller ball are available.

TIBALDI DRACO (DRAGON) Limited Edition Pen Set
The Dragon fountain and rollerball pens are fashioned from black resin.  The Dragon Rollerball substitutes for the Phoenix in this set.

The black stress free acrylic is carefully carved by master craftsmen from a single bar of raw material, guaranteeing durability.

A diamond patterned finish is found on the pen's trimmings in sterling silver with rose gold plating. This pattern is known as Clou de Paris – an ancient decoration found on fine watches ever since the 18th century. The ratio of the Divine Proportion applies to the height and width of every Clou de Paris engraving found on the pen's trim and barrel.

TIBALDI DRACO (DRAGON) Patents

The TIBALDI DRACO (Dragon) collection is based on the original TIBALDI Divina design.
Two international patents testify to the uniqueness and technical excellence of all TIBALDI Divina pens.
TIBALDI's unique design based on the Divine Proportion is patented, as is TIBALDI's innovative and precise filling mechanism.

Rotating the pen's blind cap, while filling the pen, feels and sounds similar to the winding the crown of a fine watch. The mechanism applies a slight resistance to rotation, avoiding brusque movements at the bottom of the pen and reducing the risk of accidental leakages.

Meticulous detailing
The snap mechanism and roller on the clip enables the TIBALDI Divina to slip smoothly into a pocket or onto a notepad. Each clip is carved with computer-operated cutting and shaping machines combined with the finely honed skills of Italian master craftsmen.

Airbrushed Miniatures
Airbrushing is an art of extreme precision. An airbrush is a small, air-operated art tool used to spray paint from a small reservoir mounted on its side. The artist combines the right amounts of paint and air pressure by depressing the trigger on the top of the airbrush, whilst moving the airbrush at varying distances from the surface being painted. Artist Lorena Straffi began working millimeters from the surface, skillfully airbrushing the detail onto the tiny surface of the DRACO ET PHOENIX pens. If the viscosity of the paint is too thick it could congeal at the needle tip and destroy the art work. If it is too thin it could burn through the existing artwork destroying it completely.

TIBALDI Draco (Dragon) Fountain Pen Nibs
Like the original TIBALDI nibs from the early 1900s, each 18K solid gold TIBALDI nib is engraved with the guarantee of first class writing instruments – "1a Qualità". Platinum is only applied outside the contours of the eagle and inside the words, requiring the skill of an experienced goldsmith. The thickness of gold varies across the nib to maximize flexibility and comfort when writing.
A choice of wider nib grades match every writing preference – fine (F), medium (M), broad (B), double broad (BB), oblique medium (OM), oblique broad (OB) and STUB.
