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 BIRMINGHAM NOIR Fountain Pen takes you straight from the office to a working lunch. Inspired by the 18th-century heritage of Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter, once the center of a thriving global pen industry. Birmingham now stands as the UK’s second city with a vibrant and trendy scene. Crafted from high-grade European resin, the pen features a glossy black finish that represents the industrial era, modernized with a sleek tapered barrel and polished chrome trims. This pen perfectly blends historical significance with contemporary elegance.
