Quality as a way of life.
design08 is the new creation of the designer Mark Braun. On behalf of Otto Hutt, with design 08 Mark Braun has developed a fountain pen that sets its own quality standards in terms of development, design, production and function. design08 embodies an attitude where expert craftsmanship and high-tech claim their place in our everyday culture, our way of life.
design08 is a play with proportions. The fine, regular guilloché lines characterize the entire ruthenium-coated surface. The guilloché pattern is rotated by 90° on the cap and on the rotatable, cylindrical finial. Thus serving as an indicator how to rotate for removing the cap and activating the innovative Pull+Twist function. The ingenious mechanical clip prominently exhibits the highest manufacturing precision that Otto Hutt puts into every part. The 18 ct gold nib and the individual number round off the exterior of design 08.
The styling of the section allows for sufficient grip for your fingers when writing. The section of the piston fountain pen is made of stainless steel, matt black and coated with PVD. The 18 ct gold nib is available in EF, F, M and B nib sizes. With its individual numbering, each design 08 fountain pen is truly unique. With the cap of design 08 closed, the individual number is in line with the back of the nib.
The cap is also cylindrical, with a concave top part. The mechanical clip is spring loaded with a steel spring, breaking through the recess on the top part. Cap and clip form a connection, as if the precision mechanics of the writing instrument were pushing outwards. Upon activation, the clip lowers into the recess on the top part.
I have written with hundreds of fountain pens and the Otto Hutt Design 08 ranks with the best of them. The relatively low price point of this pen makes it a great value as well. With that said, this pen may not be for everyone. It is hefty and the modernistic design makes it unique. For collectors like myself, it is a must have. It's design is a breakout from the classic look of most pens. Personally I love the design, the weight, the balance and the buttery smoothness of this pen. I actually use it as my every day pen!
I love this pen, Otto Hutt is a new pen introduction, and this is my second one. I won’t hesitate to get some more as they are beautifully made and are a great addition to my collection. Thanks rjb
