Comprising solely of 18 components, the upper body of thi s precision tool stands out. Awarded the Japanese high-tech prize in 1965, this iconic pen continues its global conquest. A single click unveils the nib, while a subsequent click withdraws it, ensuring a flawless seal, even in the absence of a cap (hence the name: Capless – without a cap). The ink remains ever-fluid, and Capless is consistently ready for use. Capless's retractable 18k gold nib is an exclusive patented system, rendering this groundbreaking pen truly one-of-a-kind. With availability in many finishes and various nib sizes, it aims to captivate writers of all kinds.
