Bringing heritage, expertise, creativity, and contemporary design together, the Tom Hessin Charles Collection redefines what a fine writing instrument should be. With a legacy spanning five generations in the pen industry — dating back to 1870 — the Charles Collection is a tribute to timeless craftsmanship and family tradition. The iconic clip, adorned with a diamond motif, symbolizes each generation, with the name “Charles” running proudly through the family tree.
The CHARLES THAMES BLUE Fountain Pen is inspired by a summer’s day on the River Thames, reflecting the glorious hues cast upon the iconic architecture lining London’s great river. As the pen turns in the hand, its changing light creates intrigue wherever you go — whether at Canary Wharf or on a weekend getaway.
Crafted from high-grade European resin with an elegant and modern finish, the Thames Blue pen represents a beautiful collaboration of modern heritage. The name “Thames” connects to the brand’s roots, tracing back to T. Hessin & Co.’s rich history.
