Tom Hessin Charles Fountain Pen in Exhibition Red

Bringing heritage, expertise, creativity, and contemporary design together, the Tom Hessin Charles Collection redefines what a fine writing instrument should be. With a legacy spanning five generations in the pen industry — dating back to 1870 — the Charles Collection is a tribute to timeless craftsmanship and family tradition. The iconic clip, adorned with a diamond motif, symbolizes each generation, with the name “Charles” running proudly through the family tree.

The CHARLES EXHIBITION RED Fountain Pen is inspired by The Exhibition Pen, originally created for the 1878 Paris Exhibition by T. Hessin. Today, the Tom Hessin Exhibition Red is a stunning collaboration of modern heritage. Crafted with high-grade European resin, its vibrant red tones honor T. Hessin’s beginnings and the iconic Exhibition Pen, now reimagined as a sophisticated instrument designed to stand the test of time.
