‘Year of the Snake’ Fountain Pen
Coiling over the Age of Resplendence
As a hymn to Asian refinement and to the Chinese cultural wealth
and zodiac tradition, DAVIDOFF features the ‘Year of the Snake’
Limited Edition Collection of writing instruments, pursuing the
resplendent craftsmanship of masters.
Elements in nature provide rich sources of inspiration to the ingenious
designs of the brand. This year, DAVIDOFF chose the totem of snake
for its refined, annual Limited Edition ‘Year of the Snake’ Fountain Pen
collection.
The snake is widely used as a decorative element in many cultures
and often found intricately carved on the scepters of kings. It was
a symbol of eternal youth and life. In ancient Greece and Rome, this
mythical creature symbolized refinement and positive energy.
In Chinese culture, the snake is also called the ‘small dragon’,
representing the traits of wisdom, youth, and authority, and
symbolizing the growth of Yang.
The DAVIDOFF Limited Edition ‘Year of the Snake’ Fountain Pen
is designed with two snakes coiling in elegant curves, shining out
against the deep intensity of the dark red lacquer. Their eyes stare
alluringly into one another, capturing the sight of admirers. Beyond
its visual resplendence lies profound significance.
This work of art is finished in natural chestnut varnish, and the body
of the snake is detailed with 1098 engraved scales. As an annual
signature item of DAVIDOFF, these snake fountain pens feature
glamorous color and intricate details on an extended 14cm body,
making it a hand-crafted masterpiece.
From the origins of the world, with the intelligence that comes from
knowledge and the beauty that accompanies mystery, the snake
literally takes possession of the writing instrument, making it a
collectible piece featuring unique design and rarity, as well as high
performance.
This is the spirit of this year’s Limited Edition ‘Year of the Snake’
Fountain Pen, a highly treasured collectible item for connoisseurs
and collectors of fine writing instruments around the world.
