The new Babbage rollerball pen, handcrafted from solid sterling silver, is designed as a pen without clips which is intended to be carried in a briefcase, organiser or handbag, and sized to fit the pen loops built into these items.
The Babbage edition celebrates the life and work of Charles Babbage. With a simple cylindrical cap and barrel, the pen pays homage to his pioneering work in precision engineering.
Both the cap and barrel are covered in an intricate pattern of engine-turned engraving in a concentric circular pattern.
The Babbage retails at £450.00 from selected stockists.
