The Ducati pen collection expresses the Ducati
personality and draws inspiration from historic models built by the Borgo
Panigale manufacturer. The series of pens in various
colors employ design elements from the "Scrambler" models of the 60's and 70's
such as the logo, gas tank, disk break, the hooded head light and more.
The exquisite metal details and the
polished aluminum cap make the Ducati a well balanced pen, pleasant to hold, but
with a "weight" that signals quality. The right side of the cap has a
chromed cheek with the typical finish of the petrol tanks of the era and bears
one of the best-known Ducati logos, the Scrambler eagle wing. The band on
the cap recalls headlight covers of the time while the pen's foldaway clip's
linear design recalls the drilled disk of brakes.
The Ducati 1000 Petrol pens are crafted in aluminum with muti-layered
lacquer and marked by a colored band that runs along the center line, typical of the petrol tanks of the
motorcycles of the period, like the Scrambler and the GT black for the yellow
and the red pen and burgundy for the orange pen, reminiscent of the much loved
motorcycle, the Spaggiari. The Ducati 1000
Petrol fountain pen features cartridge/converter filling system and has a
semi-flexible, stainless steel nib in fine and medium sizes. In the
ballpoint model the rotation opening moves the band precisely 180 degrees,
creating an asymmetry that is particularly interesting in the design. Matching rollerball pen, ballpoint
pen and mechanical pencil are also available.
