It's that first morning of waking up to frost on the ground. The twinkling lights going up in town. Despite the shorter days, spirits brighten. 'Tis the Season, you say over a mug of hot cocoa.
Santa couldn't do it all himself and neither could we. For this winter 2023 special edition, Goldspot Pens worked with Tim McKenzie to craft a shimmering diamondcast acrylic resin that reflects the magical warmth of the Season. Then, we worked with the talented team at Retro 51 to craft Tim's shimmering burgundy and gold resin into the profile of the Tornado fountain pen.
To highlight the glistening gold highlights in the resin, Retro accented this pen with polished brass appointments and clip. To top it all off, an illustration of a holly adorns the top disc. If the Grinch wrote with this pen, his heart would have grown three sizes larger in an instant.
The Tornado Fountain Pen writes with a stainless steel nib (M nib only in this edition) and fills with an international ink cartridge or converter, of which are included with the purchase of the pen.
The Retro 51 Tornado 'Tis the Season Fountain Pen is limited to 40 numbered pens made in this Goldspot-exclusive edition.
