Maiora Everest Fountain Pen - Celestia
The new Maiora Everest – The Majesty of Writing!
Overcoming limits is in human nature. Everest, born in the Maiora workshops, is not just a fountain pen: it is a feat of engineering and craftsmanship; it is the first “giant” fountain pen in the world that adopts a fixed piston, innovative in terms of its generous dimensions, called “Mega Piston”, designed to guarantee unprecedented ink capacity and an uninterrupted writing experience: 5ml ink.
Each example is born from entirely artisanal workmanship: precious and embellished materials, hand turned from solid bar; Everest is the result of great technical commitment, precision and dedication, combining elegance and technique in an imposing and exclusive form.
Like the mountain from which it takes its name, Everest rises above all other fountain pens, embodying the pinnacle of creativity and craftsmanship.
This fountain pen is made entirely of blue, black and tan ebonite hand-turned from a solid bar and mirror polished. The pen comes with a 14k #8 gold nib with an ebonite feed. Each pen is numbered on the base of the cap, and handmade in Italy. It comes with a pen slip/sleeve and a bottle of blue ink.
Maiora's legacy dates back to 1978 and is the result of a collaboration of skilled professionals with over 40 years of experience in crafting exquisite writing instruments. The brand's steadfast commitment to "made in Italy" authenticity, coupled with a perfect balance of functionality and elegance, has created a timeless style that is synonymous with Maiora's success. The brand's strengths are rooted in experience, passion, and enthusiasm, as evident in the stories and craftsmanship of each Maiora pen.
Maiora is managed by Nino Marino, the former co-founder and president of the Delta Pen Company. Maiora also produces fountain pens under the Nettuno brand.
