Pelikan's recent releases include the new special edition Souverän® M815 Metal Striped Blue. Also announced recently is the Souverän® M600 Art Collection Rudi Rother.
The one that particularly interest me is the M815 Metal Striped Blue. The design of this pen is simply gorgeous. In particular, the silverish stripes contrasted beautifully with the blue barrel, bringing both style and finesse to one's hands as this pen glides gracefully across the paper when writing.
Internal to the pen is a brass base which adds extra weight to the instrument, for those who like their writing tool to be a bit on the heftier side. The pen's rings and clip are palladium-plated and it comes with a 18K rhodium-coated gold nib. Overall, this pen is a beauty.
Next up is the M600 Rudi Rother, the second pen from the Art Collection Series. This pen comes with a bi-colour 14K gold nib. The story behind the pen is engraved in its barrel. Its core is brass engraved in guilloche, and covered with several layers of lacquer, before being finished to a luminous shine through expert polishings.
While I adore this pen and its design, I will not be buying it for myself. I have a fixed amount set aside each year for my hobby. But barely 9 months into 2025, I am already bursting my hobby budget! Thus, I have to reluctantly give this pen a miss. I do have the first pen from the Art Collection Series in my collection, the M600 Glauco Cambon from 2023.
