Four Designs to Choose From
Founded in 1888, Parker is a brand synonymous with luxury writing instruments.
The "Sonnet Special Edition" has now been released as the second installment of its 130th Anniversary Collection. Four unique models have been prepared, each expressing the emotional sensations of "passion for the sea" that founder George S. Parker harbored, and the "spirit of challenge," "curiosity," and "introspection" that everyone experiences during travel. Both fountain pens and ballpoint pens are available for each model, allowing you to choose according to your preference and usage.

The "Atlas CT" is designed with the theme of "Journey" and "The Joy of Travel." Inspired by the voyages of founder George S. Parker, who passionately loved traveling the world with a heart full of excitement for unknown foreign lands.

The "Metro CT" is themed around "Challenge" and "Facing the Unknown." This pen is inspired by the excitement, anticipation, and curiosity one feels when stepping into an unknown metropolis.

The "Strata PGT" is themed around "Explore" and "Discovering New Worlds." Its design draws inspiration from the natural shapes found in geological strata and maps.

The "Transit GT" is designed with the theme of "Reflection" and "Moments of Deep Introspection." This pen is inspired by the passports and postage stamps from various countries that become cherished travel memories.
The emotions and excitement experienced during "travel," encountering the unknown, deepen through writing, stimulating imagination. In those moments of jotting down experiences from an extraordinary world and letting thoughts wander, one sharpens ideas, inspiration, and memories, finding an opportunity to connect with essential feelings.
The "Sonnet Special Edition" is an item that stimulates curiosity for "travel."
