FEEL Dandy Handcrafted in 219 pieces, FEEL Dandy is adorned by rose gold trim In the 1960s, the dandy style made a comeback, fueled by a rebellious youth culture and a fashion revo lution that broke away from established conventions. A new generation embraced elegance as a form of individual expression. Rejecting conformity, this generation reimagined the elegant dandy style of the 19th century with a bold mix of sophistication and theatrical flair. Attention to detail became an act of rebellion, and with appearance treated as an expression of art, the dandy style was a challenge to established norms. The dandy became a modern icon of defiance, straddling tradition and revolution, a walking symbol of an era where fashion was much more than just style: it was identity, loud and unapologetic. In the spirit of 1960s dandy style, FEEL Dandy and FEEL Anni60 capture this same rebellious elegance. Through the art of the Guilloché technique, mastered by the Italian company Renzetti, FEEL Dandy and Anni60 revolutionize the balance between tradition and innovation. Our FEEL Dandy is engraved with the “Grain of rice” or known as “Barley” pattern, which was very popular in the early 1900s. Initially designed to soften the blinding shine of metal, it was later adopted as a decorative element synonymous with elegance, perfectly in line with the Dandy style. It consists of waves that can be softer or sharper, touching rhythmically to create the shape of a small grain of rice. The Anni’ 60 pattern, so refined and with a vintage flavor, adorns the FEEL Anni60 and was used for a long time in high jewelry and watchmaking. The design replicates the effect of antique lace and has recently returned to prominence with applications in various fields, especially in design and high fashion, with surprising results. For the first time, it is featured on a writing instrument made of resin. Handcrafted in 219 pieces for each model, FEEL Dandy is adorned by rose gold trim and FEEL Anni60 is enriched by ultra-black PVD treatment. The guilloché technique The artistic Guilloché engraving is done entirely by hand and is still operated exclusively mechanically today. It is an ancient art achieved by tracing one line at a time with various tools, creating a harmonious design on metal, resin, and wood surfaces. Its earliest record dates back to the year 1624, found engraved on some vintage watch cases featuring this craftsmanship. Only a few companies in the world master and preserve the true artisanal Guilloché method, making every engraved object even more precious and unique thanks to the skilled hand of the artisan. The company Renzetti1909, with its expertise, our partner for this exclusive collection, represents one of the leading exponents of this ancient craft. “The dandy should aspire to be uninterruptedly sublime. He should live and sleep in front of a mirror.” Charles Baudelaire Show more
