Greetings!
Conway Stewart logo2008 will be an exciting year for Conway Stewart.

We have been working hard developing new and exciting finishes with esteemed artisans, creating new  models and let us say, revolutionizing modern pen design.

This newsletter highlights several key models in resin, precious metal and solid gold in addition to recent media coverage on our brand.

Look out for our newsletters giving details on all of the exciting events of Conway Stewart in 2008.
Simpole Limited Edition
Image of Conway Stewart Simpole PenThe 'Simpole Pen' is an exclusive limited edition  hand crafted by Henry Simpole of London.

The design of this overlay is an interpretation of the beautiful designs of the early twentieth century, a significant period for the arts and crafts movement in England.

Henry Simpole is well known for his custom overlay work on fountain pens and this is the third limited edition within the Conway Stewart stable encompassing Simpole's fine craftsmanship.

The Simpole Pen is a beautiful yet functional fountain pen. Conway Stewart is a strong believer in staying true to its original founder's determination to offer only the best in high quality English craftsmanship.
Duro Heritage Limited Edition
Image of Conway Stewart Duro Heritage LE First launched in 1924, the award winning Duro model is a timeless and classic British pen from Conway Stewart; just the right size for the pocket and treasured by both men and women who use this pen in their daily professional lives. Its clean elegant lines are straight from the 1920's, but are as contemporary and valid today as when the pen was first designed.

The Duro Heritage Limited Edition is Conway Stewart's celebration of this timeless classic and commemorates the innovation of the two founders of Conway Stewart, Thomas Garner and Frank Jarvis.

Babbage Edition
Image of solid gold Elite CollectionThe Conway Stewart Babbage edition is a spectacular celebration of the life and work of Charles Babbage. With a simple and straightforward cylindrical cap and barrel, the Babbage pays homage to the underlying structure of Babbage's work. Both the cap and barrel are covered in an intricate pattern of engine turned engraving in a concentric circular pattern. The result is at once simple and intricate, a perfect reflection on the work of Charles Babbage.

Nelson Series

The Nelson is a bold pen, with an impressive heft and balance, featuring a solid weighty barrel that is always perfectly poised, even when used without posting the cap. Long and graceful in profile, the Nelson is never out of place, from the most elegant of black tie affair to a simple afternoon out.

In keeping with the nautical theme of the Nelson we have accented the cap with three solid 18 carat gold bands -- one large and two slim denoting Nelson's rank of Vice Admiral at the Battle of Trafalgar.

The Nelson is presently offered in a choice of 10 finishes. Conway Stewart will be introducing an additional eight new finishes during 2008 -- look out for further details in our upcoming newsletters.

Drake Vermeil Limited Edition
Image of Conway Stewart Vermeil DrakeA lush vermeil finish elevates the intricate engraving of the Drake to yet another level of luxury. Luscious in appearance, the thick gold covering warms in the hand, further enhancing the personal pleasure of using a Conway Stewart writing instrument.

Vermeil has long been admired and very much in demand for a diverse range of products. The process of vermeil can be produced by either the fire-gilding or electrolysis method. In the 1700s the original fire-gilding process was developed in France but was later banned due to the use of mercury in the process. Today's vermeil is produced safely using electrolysis.

Sterling Silver Duro Series

The cap top, cap band, and barrel end are left in gleaming bright polished silver, further accented by a silver pocket clip in the classic and stately design that has graced Conway Stewart writing instruments since the 1930s.

The Sterling Silver Duro series is currently available in a choice of 14 finishes and 2008 will see the introduction of five new colours to this  long standing and successful model.

Oliver Cromwell Limited Edition
Image of Conway Stewart Cromwell Pen The Conway Stewart Cromwell Edition is carefully crafted from solid sterling silver, following the shape and size of our popular Elegance series. The cap and barrel have been embellished with crisp guilloche engraving in an elegant cascading brocade pattern, then covered with rich, gleaming crimson enamel.

The glowing red cap and barrel are accented with clip, cap band, and barrel end in smooth sterling silver polished to a perfect finish. The section is also solid sterling silver, making the Cromwell Edition perfectly balanced in the hand.

The Conway Stewart Cromwell Edition lives up to its namesake: vivid, dynamic and larger than life.

Wellington Series
Conway Stewart logoThe Wellington is a substantial pen, available in a choice of four writing modes: elegant fountain pen, smooth writing roller ball, convenient ball pen and pencil. The striking new design has been crafted with a subtly curvaceous form to both cap and barrel, an exciting new shape that sets the Wellington apart from traditional pen designs. The Wellington was created with an eye to the Continental flair for a sleek and classic look. This combines with our time honoured use of rich marbled resin and polished gold trim to result in a pen that suits both high fashion as well as tasteful refinement.

The Wellington is presently offered in four popular classic colours gleaming jet Black, rich Classic Brown, elegant Classic Green and the modern Black Whirl. Conway Stewart will be introducing an additional eight new finishes during 2008 -- look out for further details in our upcoming newsletters.
