Lamy Dialog 3 EF

Gently used, extra fine nib, with box.

The LAMY dialog 3 black fountain pen is a revolutionary fountain without a cap. Thanks to a fascinating twist mechanism the nib slides elegantly out of the interior of the barrel, while the clip retracts onto the shell. The twist-action fountain pen is then ready to write.

The LAMY Dialog 3 Fountain Pen is a pinnacle of the modern LAMY range, created in cooperation with one of the great designers of our time, Swiss functionalist Franco Clivio.

The product design is breathtaking in its simplicity and functionality: not only is the rounded aesthetic a brave step away from LAMY's sleek, squared-top finish, the mechanics are revolutionary. This is a fountain pen with no cap. A twist-action allows the rhodinised 14kt gold nib to retract and a valve protects the nib from dirt and drying.

Its clip is equally clever: raised or retracted by the twist action, the clip lowers into the pen body when writing; when the nib is retracted, the clip lifts out again. No ink stains in your pocket - nothing in the way when writing.

Suits LAMY T51 and T52 Bottled Fountain Pen Ink and official Lamy cartridges.

LAMY QUALITY
Highest quality in technology, processing and material is self-evident in Lamy pens. Lamy pens make a clear statement: "best value for money".

LAMY DESIGN
Lamy Pens are self-contained and succinct. By tradition they embody the Bauhaus principle of functional design: "form follows function". This approach makes Lamy pens unmistakable style icons and the name Lamy a quintessential brand.

LAMY: MADE IN GERMANY
Lamy pens embody the best German design tradition and engineering art. They stand out by virtue of innovation, reliability, restraint and status which does not relate to luxury but to intelligence.

Pens from Lamy can be seen on the New York Stock Exchange, at conferences in Tokyo, or in the lecture halls of Buenos Aires. And each of these pens first saw the light of day in Heidelberg, the city with Germany's oldest university.

Here, just a few minutes by car from the world-famous ensemble of castle, old town and the River Neckar, Lamy develops and produces fountain pens, ink rollerballs, ballpoint pens and propelling pencils which have been amongst the most popular examples of modern design since 1966.

And, despite increasing globalisation, nothing will change this in future. Because Lamy is firmly rooted in its Heidelberg location. An employer of around 400 people from the city and its surrounding area, a patron of culture and a sponsor. But also a family firm which knows precisely that it draws part of its strength and authenticity from a vibrant region which for centuries has stood for science, research and cosmopolitanism.
