Writer's Edition released in 2006. This model is an homage to Virginia Woolf, a British writer who was one of the major writers of 20th-century modernist literature, leaving behind many works such as the novel "The Waves" with her feminine sensibility. The gently curved silhouette gives a feminine impression unlike previous Writer's Editions. The guilloché pattern, which is designed in the shape of waves, inspired by her representative novels, is engraved on the entire precious resin body, and it looks slightly reddish depending on how the light hits it, giving it a sense of elegance. Furthermore, the faceted ruby on the clip adds a nice accent. The 18K gold nib of the fountain pen is engraved with two elm trees from her private residence in Sussex, which she decided would be her eternal resting place in 1941. This is an elegant form befitting an intellectual writer who left behind many avant-garde works. Release year: 2006 Limited edition: 18,000
