The 2019 Pineider Avatar UR fountain pen collection was designed by Dante Del Vecchio. The Avatar UR marks a step ahead in pen manufacturing through the use of a revolutionary UltraResin, a new GlueLess assembly process, and a special magnetic twist cap lock design that provides extra protection. This fountain pen features a steel nib, silver trim, and fills via cartridge/converter.
We do our best to photograph the pens to show how they will appear in person, but due to the nature of the material there will be some variation in the pattern seen here. This adds an element of uniqueness to the pen, with no two patterns being exactly the same.
UltraResin:
Over the last 100 years, the solution to pen breakages has come from the incredible features of celluloid, the sole material able to join incredible beauty and a very high resistance to hits. In the 1920's, fountain pen makers would throw pens from an airplane to demonstrate the resistance of celluloid to impacts. Unfortunately, celluloid has poor heat resistance and can easily crystallize with age (that rapidly leads to the complete loss of the pen), and it is extremely difficult to make.
Introducing UltraResin, a special formula of mother of pearl compound resin developed in Florence for Pineider. This compound is very stiff and its exceptional features makes it far better than celluloid for the creation of fine fountain pens. UltraResin is extremely rigid (nearly like metal), incredibly resistant to hits, and very close to unbreakable. UltraResin is also resistant to oils, inks, electricity, to high and low temperatures, to UV rays, to any weathering condition.
Pineider technicians made this material suitable for luxury products with an extremely glossy surface and it can feature a mother of pearl look with marbleized colors, a deep black, or even a clear effect.
GlueLess Technology:
To produce the new Avatar, a new assembly technology has been developed called GlueLess. Thanks to 3D engineering and high precision manufacturing, the Avatar is assembled without using a single drop of glue. A technological puzzle but one where every component fits precisely and securely together with just simple framed parts.
Cap Lock:
The Avatar closes via a magnetic twist cap that has been designed to last. A film over the internal magnet functions to protect the magnet from corrosion and allows a soft touch closure.
Clip:
A sophisticated solid marine steel clip is comprised from an inner spring mechanism built in the cap top of the pen.
Band:
Finely engraved and inspired from the skyline of Florence, the trim is palladium plated and nickel free.
Nib:
Rhodium-plated #6 size steel nib with a new futuristic Pineider engraved logo.
Just like an avatar becomes a virtual alter ego for an individual, this pen is designed to serve as an inseparable lifestyle companion. The rounded form and vibrant color represents the dynamic vitality of youth. The marine steel clip is Pineider's interpretation of a goose quill, sturdy yet flexible. While each pen is designed to become the alter ego of its owner, Pineider designed the centerband to be the avatar of the city it has proudly called home for the last 240 years, Florence, in honor of the love and affection all Florentines have for the firm's illustrious name.
This pen comes with a standard international converter, and also accepts standard international cartridges.
Absolutely love this pen! It's everything I'd hoped for. (A little more green than the turquoise color in the image on the site, but I was prepared for that.) Very smooth. Ink flowed immediately and evenly. I got a fine nib, which is not finicky like some extra fines I've used. I'm inking with Private Reserve and it's a dream. My order arrived at lightning speed. Ordered on Friday, arrived Monday with a nice email from Truphae letting me know it was in. Perfectly packed. End to end, a delightful experience for my first order. I'll be back!
Absolutely adore this pen. I don’t have any issues (yet) that seem to plague Pineider’s magnetic pens. I hope it stays that way. I got a fine nib, and it writes like an eastern medium. I got to meet Dante at a pen show. The man is so passionate, so it’s nice to support the company—even if he no longer owns it.
So far I’ve inked with Colorverse Gravity Wave and Taccia Ukiyo-e Hokusai Sabimidori. It plays nice with both.
