After its first edition in 2003, the Graf von Faber-Castell collection has introduced an annual fountain pen called "Pen of the Year" that has taken a special place in the hearts of aficionados of luxury writing culture. Each limited edition tells the story of eras and peoples whose exploits shaped the development of mankind. The Pen of the Year 2023 is inspired by one of the world's most fascinating advanced civilisations: Ancient Egypt. Considered one of the cradles of civilisation, with 3,000 years of history, deities and achievements, this fountain pen invites anyone who holds it to take a journey through the land of pharaohs, pyramids and papyri, going back 4,000 years in history.
