The Bard joins
Conway Stewart’s lineup as a commanding new flagship
model. Imposing size and a striking style set the Bard apart
from other writing instruments, while the traditional attention
to detail, hallmarked accent rings, and distinctive clip mark
it as part of the proud Conway Stewart heritage.
Conway Stewart's
'Bard' is inspired by writers and poets who have produced
enduring and well loved works which have enriched the cultural
fabric of modern day society.
The most famous
poet and writer of his generation, William Shakespeare was
known simply as 'The Bard', though the term Bard was
traditionally used to describe professional poets who were paid
to by their Monarch to praise the sovereign's activities. Other
famous Bards include William Wordsworth and Robert
Burns.
The Bard features
an untapered cap and barrel, with a squared off profile. A look
of sturdy elegance defines the Bards appearance, giving lovers
of the outsized in writing instruments a new choice. The
section is thinner, allowing for an easy grip without
interfering with the Bard’s distinctive look and size.
The barrel end is also reduced in size, which makes posting the
cap simple and secure. The Bard is available in a choice of
four classic colours, Jet Black with polished silver trim,
classic Marbled Green, the elegant new Rioja, and vibrant
Scarlet Whirl.
A pair of solid
hallmarked 18 carat gold bands on the barrel set off the 18
carat solid gold nib, with the clip mounted high on the cap.
While a substantial in size, the Bard is still a very usable
thanks to the carefully thought out design. The high mounted
clip allows the pen to sit low in the pocket. The rebated
section design makes for a pen that is suitable for a wide
range of hand sizes. The nib is offered in eight nib grades
from Extra Fine through Double Broad, as well as three Italic
sizes. Filling is via the reliable cartridge converter system,
which allows either the convenience of handy ink cartridges or
the rich choice of bottled inks.
The Conway Stewart
'Bard' should inspire any writer to great works. Hand crafted
from the finest materials, this sleek and modern design is
adorned with an 18 carat solid gold nib and hallmarked rings in
a choice of either 18 carat solid gold or solid sterling
silver.
