Visconti Pininfarina Carbongrafite Retractable Fountain Pen

Visconti Pininfarina Carbongrafite Retractable fountain pen is the most expensive of its kind. It is unique stylistic fountain pen which has technical elements in it, I am still wondering if it justify for such a high price tag.

The Visconti icon clip was secure to the pen with two screw, which made it look at like spring type clip. The screws on the pen actual give it a bit of retro look.

On the both side of the sections, it engraved the name "Pininfarina", which I think make it expensive. :-)

This expensive Visconti Pininfarina Carbongrafite Retractable fountain pen comes with Visconti chromium 18 Smartouch tubular nib, which Visconti has invested a lot of engineering hours and resources.

On the bottom of the pen, it is engraved with the letter "f".
It has a most smooth retractable mechanism that I come across. I don't like the idea that the nib cannot be removed from the pen section. It cannot be disassemble into 3 parts only.
