Description

**Note: The pattern design on the cap and body features misalignment to create a unique fountain pen. Each pen may vary slightly, even if they share the same color. Please note that this is intentional and not a manufacturing fault.

Kaleido Pen

KALEIDO fountain pen is born from the idea of a fountain pen that is affordable, and stylish, yet can last for a lifetime. The model is greatly inspired by our tremendous appreciation towards years of encouragement and love from you - who share our love and interests in fountain pens.

Birth of the Queen Series

Two years have passed since the launch of Wancher's 10th-anniversary Kaleido fountain pen. During this period, we have received an outpouring of requests for a new model. In response to these requests, we are pleased to introduce the new Kaleido Queen Series.

The Queen Series features a slim, octagonal shape—a fearless yet graceful fountain pen without a clip. It is available in three models: "Deep Mountain Spring," "Horizon," and "Sunset Glow"

The colors of the light belt created by nature:

There is nothing more beautiful than a fleeting landscape created by nature. For example, the gradation of light and color on the horizon. The ever-changing colors of the sky as the sun rises, the "Venus Belt" of mysterious hues of light before and after the setting sun, and the lingering hues of the horizon after the sun has set. And even when the sky is unbroken and cloudy, if you stare intently, there is always a moment when sunlight shines through the clouds.

Kaleido Queen is born with the intent of capturing the moment when the sky changes from cloudy to sunny, expressed in a fountain pen. Please pick one up and take a look. We are sure that the sunshine will spread in the hearts of those who use this fountain pen.

Fine particle polishing technology

The octagonal-shaped Kaleido Queen uses the same manufacturing process as the 12-edges Kaleido fountain pen. However, to express the atmosphere of "a momentary landscape created by nature" with an octagonal pen, a high level of technical skill is required. Laminated resin with multiple layers of color is carefully hand-cut and polished to a mirror-like surface resulting in a smooth edge that is smooth to the touch. The surface polished to a fine particle level reflects light in a straight line, resembling the surface of a still lake. The reflections and the stripe gradient color of the laminated resin blend together to create a fascinating texture.

The colors and brilliance metamorphose like the wings of an iridescent insect depending on the angle of the light hitting it. The way the colors blend together mirrors the light flowing through a fountain pen, with particles of various colors.

Explore the Kaleido Queen for varied expressions based on viewing angle, light, and type, truly embodying a kaleidoscope.

Horizon (Suiten)

The blue of the horizon line seems to go on forever on a clear day. The color of the silver line, which changes from cloudy to sunny, is expressed in the laminated resin. This is a fountain pen that will spread sunshine to the hearts of those who use it.

Embracing the Golden Ratio for Beauty and Comfort

The new Kaleido Queen series meticulously adheres to the golden ratio, with the length of the barrel and cap harmoniously designed at 1:1.618. This exquisite balance, derived from the Fibonacci sequence, is the key to the pen's aesthetic allure.

This slight length of the grip, expands freedom of finger position, creating a comfortable fit in the hand, and brings out the best in writing comfort. In addition, it makes the fingers look longer and more beautiful when holding the pen.
