Luxury writing instruments, made to be kept.
Six instruments, numbered one to six. Each shares a profile, a formed chevron on the cap and an emblem set in the crown — and each is unmistakably its own.
The Collection
-
Initium
The beginning. Polished resin over a metal core, one band of formed silver chevrons at the cap, and a brass clip drawn to a chevron point.
- Snap cap, brass collar and crown
- Argentium silver chevron band
- 138 mm · 29 g in the hand
-
Constans
Steadfast. A fuller barrel and a wider chevron band, in full silver, full brass, or resin dressed in both.
- Five finishes
- Twin inlay rings, stepped crown
- 140 mm · 33–50 g in the hand

Tournant
The turning point, and the one model without a cap: half a turn of the upper barrel brings the point forward.
- Gold-plated chevron band, centre ring and crown
- Five finishes

Auréole
Halo. A cap of 10k yellow gold above a resin barrel, the chevrons formed into its lower edge, closed by a magnet.

- Magnetic closure
- 144 mm · 36 g in the hand

Éminence
The chevron field widens across the gold cap and returns on a gold end cap. The barrel swells gently, as a column does.

-
Apogée

A name with time behind it.
In 1819 James Perry, unhappy with the pens of his day, began making his own by hand. The name he gave them has stood for the same idea ever since: make few things, make them properly, and make them to be kept.
Nothing is there for show alone.
Built over metal
Every exterior sleeve — resin, silver, brass or gold — is bonded over a metal core, so the pen keeps its form at the lip and along the barrel.
Weight, forward
A brass core sits beneath the grip. Capped models balance forward of centre, toward the point, where the hand wants it.
Chevrons, formed
The signature chevron is raised in low relief — formed into the metal, not engraved. One band on Initium; the whole cap on Apogée.
Silver that stays white
Argentium 935 silver, mirror-polished and finished in rhodium, chosen because it resists tarnish.
Brass without patina
Lead-free brass under a brass-tone zirconium-nitride finish that holds its polished colour.
The emblem, quietly
No wordmark appears on the pen. A six-millimetre emblem medallion is set in the crown, and a serial number is marked inside the barrel joint.
Given as it deserves.
Each instrument arrives in its coffret with a certificate of authenticity on cotton stock, recording the model, the finish, the inspection date and the serial number.
