Pilot’s 100th anniversary pen

Pilot pens has celebrated its 100 year Anniversary with three new special edition pens.

With a gold tip and ‘100th Anniversary’ inscription, the new pens are crafted using a number of traditional as well as advanced Maki-e techniques. This is a process of lacquer sprinkled with gold and silver, which also makes each pen a work of art.

Every pen is then hand-painted and takes more than 3 months to complete.

Pilot has a timeline on the website outlining each stage of the company’s 100 year history. This can be viewed here.
