Krone's limited edition Abraham Lincoln fountain pen not only captures the "genetic essence" of America's greatest president, but also embodies the wonders of 20th century science with the art of traditional craftsmanship.
It is only in the latter part of the last century that scientists have unlocked the mysteries of DNA, the building blocks of life. And only recently have scientists been able to replicate an individual's DNA from remains such as a single strand of human hair.
To create this definitive historical collectible, Krone obtained the most authenticated locks of Abraham Lincoln's hair in existence. And, using the latest technology, Krone took those strands and reproduced the DNA of America's greatest president. This DNA, in crystallised form, is embedded in the amethyst stone of each limited edition Abraham Lincoln pen. In addition to such technological achievements, Krone's limited edition Abraham Lincoln pen is made by the finest craftsmen, using the finest materials to create a writing instrument of unsurpassed quality and durability. Each Abraham Lincoln pen contains:
A two-tone 18-carat gold nib with an iridium tip, with the Krone name engraved on the nib. An ebonite barrel ergonomically designed and handcrafted to fit every curve of the hand, providing the ultimate in comfort, balance and fluidity.
At the top of the cap, a 925 sterling silver bezel holding an amethyst cabochon contains the DNA of the 16th president in the form of porous glass powder obtained through the patented PCR process. Lincoln's distinctive signature is engraved on a silver band at the bottom of the cap. A silver clip containing a small oval engraved with Abraham Lincoln's portrait in 18kt gold.
The Abraham Lincoln Pen is a limited edition of 1,008 fountain pens in sterling silver worldwide.
