Scheduled to arrive in November and now available for pre-order, the Homo Sapiens Skylight is the latest addition to this iconic Visconti line. Featuring a cap and barrel made from solid volcanic rock, two clear resin demonstrator windows, and solid bronze trim, each pen is equipped with your choice of 23k palladium or 18k solid gold nib, depending on availability.

The two demonstrator windows in this model appropriately enough serve a dual purpose - they both allow the user to monitor ink levels on an ongoing basis, as well as providing a view of Visconti's renowned Double Reservoir Power Fill system, which allows for the use of any bottled fountain pen ink. Each pen is hand assembled at the Visconti workshop in Florence. Retail $995, our price $796.
