YEAR OF THE DRAGON
Visconti's "Year of the Dragon" edition perfectly embodies majesty and elegance, drawing inspiration from ancestral Chinese traditions. This collection highlights the incredible skill and creativity of the Visconti artisans, who have looked after every detail with attention.
CHINESE NEW YEAR
2024, according to the Chinese horoscope, is the year of the Wooden Dragon, extending from February 10 to January 28, 2025. In the Chinese cultural context, the dragon symbolizes strength, courage, creativity and innovation, while the wood element contributes qualities of flexibility, adaptability and growth. Following this ancient wisdom, 2024 promises to be a year of great potential and opportunity for those ready to embrace change and challenge themselves.
THE DRAGON: CULTURAL ICON
The design highlights the dragon against a vibrant red background, an auspicious color in China, made even more striking by the colorful enamel and detailed scale texture, visible through a layer of semi-transparent enamel. To underline its nobility, the Imperial Dragon is embellished with a red ruby set in the eye, thanks to the choice of Visconti's designers.
The pen box, inspired by oriental architecture with its octagonal shapes typical of Chinese pagodas, is a true design jewel. Through a window on the cover, decorated with a detailed golden drawing of the Imperial Dragon, you can admire the pen, dedicated to this powerful symbol.
Inspired by the mythical five-clawed Imperial Dragon, this fountain pen expresses all the luck and prestige of Chinese culture, made of silver vermeil and hand-decorated with enamel.
"The dragon reminds us that to touch the sky we must dare to challenge the wind." - Chinese proverb
Equipped with the patented Power Filler Double Reservoir filling system, the pen ensures a smooth and comfortable writing experience, with a demo ring on the section to easily monitor the ink level.
Crafted in silver vermeil, it features an elaborate engraving of a five-clawed Chinese dragon, suspended in clouds of steam, with details made vivid by the artisanal application of colored, semi-transparent enamel. The figure of the Imperial Dragon is enhanced by a red ruby set in the eye, a detail that further enhances its nobility.
