Esterbrook x Accutron Spaceview Estie Fountain Pen: the mechanics on display
In 1960, the Accutron Spaceview changed how people looked at a watch by placing its inner workings at the center of the design. The newest collaboration between Esterbrook and Accutron carries that idea into the Estie: a transparent fountain pen that allows its construction to be seen from every angle.
Esterbrook's first demonstrator Estie
The Spaceview is the first transparent demonstrator Estie produced by Esterbrook. Its polished acrylic cap and barrel reveal the threads, connectors, filling system and internal writing components that are usually concealed.
A demonstrator is a pen with a transparent or semi-transparent body. Originally used by pen makers to show off internal mechanics, demonstrators are now prized by collectors for putting a pen's construction on display.
Details inspired by the Spaceview watch
- Accutron green grip: acrylic in the signature color of the Spaceview watch.
- Bronze-toned finials and gold-plated metalwork, visible through the clear body.
- Accutron tuning fork emblem: a lacquered emblem set into the top dome, the custom cap band and the gold-plated nib.
- Two names, one design: Esterbrook branding is integrated across the pen and packaging alongside Accutron's, without distracting from the transparent construction.
Writing: JoWo #6 nib and interchangeable nib system
This pen is fitted with a JoWo #6 nib featuring custom Accutron tuning fork branding, keeping the smooth, consistent writing quality Estie owners expect. Thanks to Esterbrook's interchangeable nib system, switching between nib sizes and types is easy. Available in Extra-Fine (EF), Fine (F), Medium (M), Broad (B) and STUB 1.1.
It features Esterbrook's cushion-cap closure and fills with a cartridge or converter, a system that is also visible through the transparent barrel.
