F.P. Journe - os primeiros instrumentos de escrita

F.P.Journe. Os primeiros instrumentos de escrita da marca de Alta Relojoaria. François-Paul Journe começou a desenhar desde muito jovem novos medidores de tempo e é hoje reconhecido como um dos grandes mestres relojoeiros contemporâneos. Mas, desde há dois anos que ele se tem dedicado a desenhar também canetas, na busca do objecto ideal - confortável, elegante e inovador.

Os primeiros protótipos apareceram em 2009. E surge agora uma caneta de tinta permanente sem tampa (o aparo aparece ou recolhe no corpo, mediante sistema patenteado). Ela faz parte da sua primeira colecção de instrumentos de escrita, num estilo vanguardista. As duas peças - um roller ball e uma caneta de tinta permanente - são feitos inteiramente em platina ou em ouro, os metais preciosos que também usa nos seus relógios.

Limitadas a 500 exemplares cada versão, as canetas estão à venda exclusivamente nas boutiques F.P. Journe em Paris, Genebra, Nova York, Tokyo, Beijing e Hong Kong.

Da marca:

Historically, the cap of a pen is impractical and can easily be misplaced or lost, although it does play an important role since it protects the nib from shocks, prevents the ink from drying in the open air and also protects items and clothes in close proximity from ink stains. In an effort to overcome these inconveniences, there exists nowadays the ballpoint pen whereby the head of the instrument simply retracts into the body.

François-Paul Journe therefore worked on the creation of a new concept of fountain pen without a cap, but one that would ensure all the necessary and customary protection. The result is his highly original retractable system, registered with patent Number EP 1 980 414 A1, whereby the extremity of the pen comprises 6 flaps that open and close much like the delicate petals of a flower.

The collection of F.P.Journe first writing instruments, a fountain pen and a roller, is available in the 6 exclusive F.P.Journe boutiques in Paris, Geneva, New York, Tokyo, Beijing and Hong Kong. Produced in Limited Edition of 500 each, and entirely guilloché by hand in the finest tradition of artisan craftsmanship, each fountain pen and roller is realized in precious Platinum PT950 or 18K gold, combined with titanium. The nib of the fountain pen in 18K red gold, is entirely hand-polished and engraved with the F.P.Journe logo. To provide a more pleasing sensation while writing, the platinum version is lacquered in blue while natural colour lacquer is used for the gold version with 18K red gold inserts.

This collection is enhanced by superb cufflinks in platinum or in 18K red gold inspired by the new F.P.Journe deployant clasp.

This timeless collection of genuine art objects is stamped with the personality and design of the F.P.Journe brand. These unique and highly distinctive pieces, in which the art of the jeweller and the goldsmith intertwine, will ensure that the J.P. Journe pens become a legend within the world of writing instruments.
