We carry an assortment of pens and mechanical pencils from Leuctturm1917 and Legendär – beautifully designed pens that will last a life time. The pens are made of metal which gives a nice weight that inspires writing and drawing. All pens in our collection are compatible with standardised refills.
A pen is more than just a writing tool—it’s a symbol of craftsmanship, creativity, and permanence. A well-chosen pen can become a treasured heirloom. Here’s how to select a pen that stands the test of time.
Durability starts with materials. Pens made from premium metals like brass or aluminium are not only long-lasting but also resistant to wear and corrosion. Brands like LEGENDÄR, which crafts pens from solid brass, exemplify this dedication to quality. Avoid pens with fragile plastic components if longevity is your goal.
A pen meant to last generations should have a classic, timeless design. Trends come and go, but elegant, understated aesthetics never go out of style. Brands like Leuchtturm1917 focus on clean, minimalist designs that complement any era. Their Drehgriffel series is actually baed on a design from the 1920’s.
Disposable pens are wasteful and lack longevity. Instead, choose a pen that uses refillable cartridges or has a mechanism for liquid ink refills. Refillable pens not only reduce waste but also allow you to customize the ink type and color to your preference.
The internal mechanism of a pen plays a crucial role in its longevity. Whether you’re choosing a gel pen or a mechanical pencil, look for smooth, reliable mechanisms that won’t jam or degrade over time. Both Leuchtturm1917 and Legendär offer a reliable twist system, which is also very satisfying to use 🙂
A pen that will be used for years should feel comfortable in the hand. Look for features like a well-balanced body and a grip that suits your writing style. Heirloom pens are often designed with ergonomics in mind, ensuring they remain a pleasure to use even after prolonged periods.
When choosing a pen to last for generations, brand reputation matters. Renowned brands like Leuchtturm1917 and LEGENDÄR are known for their meticulous craftsmanship and commitment to quality. Pens from these brands are investments in reliability and elegance.
A pen can only last for long if properly cared for. Choose pens with straightforward cleaning and maintenance requirements. Store them in protective cases and clean ink reservoirs or refilling mechanisms regularly to prevent clogs or damage.
Opt for pens with a story. Brands with a rich history in pen-making often incorporate decades of expertise into their designs. A pen with heritage not only performs well but also carries sentimental value.
At Sekvens we strongly believe in the idea of “buying better and buying less”. Choosing a pen that will last for generations requires attention to materials, design, and functionality. By investing in a high-quality pen from a trusted brand like Leuchtturm1917 or LEGENDÄR, you’re not just buying a writing tool—you’re acquiring a piece of artistry that can be cherished for years to come. Whether for yourself or as a meaningful gift, a timeless pen is always worth the investment.
