360 Year of Imagination LE | ||
| "2005, The Year of Imagination.
OMAS dedicates its first Limited Edition to all those who, thanks to their ability
to create the non-existant, have contributed to the knowledge of the universe
and its laws, a tribute to and, at the same time, a memory of the international
World Year of Physics, wanted by Unesco, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of
the 'Annus Mirabilis', the peak of the development of physics, its arrival and
starting point." Gianluca Malaguti Simoni, in the brochure included with
the pen. | ||
 | ||
| Diamond engraved into sterling
silver, the marks on this pen are the formulas of physicists of the 20th century.
These include of course Einstein and his theory of relativity, quantum and string
theories. The surfaces are highly polished and, as we note on our Sailor 1911
Sterling page, with all smooth sterling silver finishes, minor scuffing shows.
Although it can be seen on the pen when looked at close-up, it is below the resolution
of these images. At 99.5 grams, this is one of the heaviest pens we have seen. In sterling silver and with a triangular shape this pen will easily write of its own weight. The piston system holds 1.2 ml of ink. At just over 6 inches capped, this pen is a handful. | ||
 | ||
| The very simple clip has an unusual
design. About 1/3 up from the point, a blue enameled disc holds the pen against
the cloth of your pocket. The same color of enamel zigs across all three facets
of the barrel and cap. | ||
