100 years of Platinum Pen

Platinum Pen Co., Ltd. will mark its 100th anniversary on February 1, 2019. Since the day the Company was founded as a fountain pen manufacturer by the first president Shunichi Nakata in 1919, we have been devoted to creating various writing instruments centered on fountain pens to achieve our mission of taking part of the Japanese writing culture, backed by the support of many people including our customers.

Founding a Company that bears the word "platinum, " which is regarded as the king of metals, Shunichi Nakata aspired to create "the king of fountain pens" that uses a platinum nib. After repeated trial and error , "Platinum Platinum" was finally brought to life in 1967 as the world's first fountain pen that uses a platinum nib.

Half a century after the birth of Platinum Platinum, such symbolic fountain pen was reproduced in commemoration of the Company’s 100th anniversary by employing the latest pen nib technology as well as Platinum Pen’s unique Slip & Seal Mechanism. The Century “ THE PRIME,” which is the culmination of Platinum Pen’s history , will be launched as limited edition.

■ Century "THE PRIME" Limited Platinum Edition

The new fountain pen was reproduced based on the design of "Platinum Platinum" launched in 1967 while the platinum nib employs the form of #3776 CENTURY fountain pen, th e Platinum’s representative product. While “Platinum Platinum” fountain pen used solid silver for the body , Century “THE PRIME” limited platinum edition is made using platinum not only for the nib but also for the body . In addition, it is applied with a lattice check pattern through the best decoration technique, which produces a stunning contrast suitable for "the king of fountain pens." Please Enjoy the very special model to your heart’s content.
