The Alan Turing Pen

Fabulous Pen

I treated myself to this pen for my birthday. It is everything I could have wanted and more. I had the nib ground into an italic nib. It writes so smoothly. It is my second Conway Stewart pen. This one is a limited edition and I have number 105 of 251. It is quite large pen so probably wouldn’t suit someone with very small hands. My hands aren’t huge, they barely spread an octave but I find it easy to use even with the cap posted.

The Alan Turing Fountain Pen, it's a marvel!

Writing with this pen is a sheer pleasure. The pen is perfectly balanced, provides pleasant feedback and just feels natural in your hand. Thank you, Conway Stewart, for delivering this piece of craftsmanship in Alan Turing's honour.

A cracking pen

The pen is a dream to use, the specific aesthetic characterstics of this pen mean you're bound to get questions about it whenever you get it out. The "Station X" detail on the cap is a really nice touch alongside the hidden compartment. The pen is quite long when 'posted' so that might be something to consider if you have small hands. I picked it up with the Medium 18kt CS Nib and couldn't be happier.
