400 years ago, the Bard had a vision. In his play “The Tragedies of Hamlet”, he made his vision clear and tried to foretell the arriving of ONOTO. However, this famous quote “To be O’NOTO be” had never been edited correctly by many printers, who did not really understand Shakespeare’s vision… until the birth of ONOTO…
Of course, we made it up.
We would like to present you the ultimate pen that pays tribute to the Bard, and his famous character Hamlet, the Prince of Demark, available in a limited edition of 100.
The design of this Hamlet pen is centred around the “skull”. The pattern on the sterling silver cap band is based on the decoration from the Hamlet first folio (1623), with an added twist to incorporate the crowned skulls, referencing to the themes of death and skull imagery in the play.
The black and white pinstripes were artfully chosen to remind the pen owners that life may not be black and white but it sure helps us act faster if at times we perceive it as such.
DESCRIPTION
The Hamlet pen is based on the shape and style of the 1937 Onoto Magna and features a silver broad cap band engraved with a custom designed skull pattern reminiscent of the play.
The blending of black and pearlescent white in a single pen was created using a special fusion-bonding technique. The black and white theme with the skull motifs were artfully chosen to remind the pens owner that life may not be black and white but it sure helps us act faster if at times we perceive it as such.
The pen is finished off with the famous Onoto cypher cap button and made available in a limited edition of 100.
