Lamy Dialog 3 Palladium Fountain Pen

Lamy Dialog 3 Palladium Fountain Pen

The Lamy Dialog 3 Palladium fountain pen is a high-end writing instrument that is part of the third series of the Dialog model and is made of metal with an attractive palladium finish. It is a piece of enormous quality, carefully made and assembled entirely by hand in the Lamy factory in the German town of Heidelberg.

This superb piece is part, as already noted, in Lamy's Dialog line, a fantastic creation designed by the designer and professor at the Zurich School of Design Franco Clivio. Among the aesthetic benefits of this series is its extreme cleanliness and formal purification, with a cylindrical silhouette with rounded ends in which only its pin protrudes from the profile of the fountain pen.

However, the most outstanding aspect of Franco Clivio's design is the complex and ingenious mechanism designed for the extraction and collection of its retractable nib, which slides from the inside of the pen with a slight twist while its clip is hidden in the body to facilitate writing. This returns to its previous position through a new rotation that retracts the nib and slides a ball valve before the opening provided for this purpose to prevent the ink from drying out in contact with air during times of disuse.

On a functional level, beyond the aforementioned rotating mechanism, the Lamy Dialog 3 Palladium fountain pen stands out for its loading system using Lamy T 10 ink cartridges or Lamy Z 27 converter and for its efficient two-color nib, made of solid 14-carat gold. and equipped with a brilliant platinum mask. The latter is available in a wide range of thicknesses that includes extra fine (EF), fine (F), medium (M), broad (B), medium oblique (OM) and broad oblique (OB) points.

Finally, and in terms of presentation, the fountain pens from the Lamy Dialog series are served in a splendid gift box.
