Time for Backgammon
Italian luxury penmaker Visconti pays tribute to backgammon, one of the oldest and most enduring board games in history.
Beyond the game itself, backgammon has long carried symbolic associations with opposing forces, the human experience and the fascinating interplay between strategic decision-making and chance.
The Visconti BackGammon Limited Edition translates these ideas into an elaborate luxury writing instrument, produced in a strictly limited edition of just 128 pieces.
Sterling Silver and Colorful Enamel
The collection includes fountain pens and rollerball pens crafted from 925 sterling silver.
Across the barrel and cap, striking red and black triangular motifs evoke the distinctive points of a traditional backgammon board. The vivid colors and luminous appearance are achieved through a sophisticated enamel-working technique that gives the surface exceptional depth and brilliance.
The result is instantly recognizable: a luxury pen whose design captures the geometry and visual identity of the classic board game.
An 18K Gold Nib
The fountain pen is fitted with an 18-karat gold nib finished with a polished palladium coating, adding another precious element to the already elaborate construction.
Visconti also offers several possibilities for personalization, reinforcing the exclusive character of the limited edition.
One of its most playful details is the top of the cap, designed to resemble a backgammon die, directly connecting the writing instrument with the game that inspired it.
A Backgammon Set Included
The theme continues beyond the pen itself.
The Visconti BackGammon Limited Edition is presented in a specially designed travel case containing a complete backgammon set, including the board, dice and playing pieces.
It transforms the presentation case from simple packaging into part of the experience – allowing the owner to enjoy both the writing instrument and the centuries-old game that inspired its creation.
Combining Italian craftsmanship, precious materials and one of the world’s most iconic games, the Visconti BackGammon Limited Edition is both a sophisticated writing instrument and an unusual collector’s piece.
Price: approximately €4,070.
