Davidoff Year of the Snake

As a hymn to Asian refinement and to the Chinese cultural wealth and zodiac tradition, DAVIDOFF features the Year of the Snake Limited Edition Collection of writing instruments, pursuing the resplendent craftsmanship of masters.

Elements in nature provide rich sources of inspiration to the ingenious designs of the brand. This year, DAVIDOFF chose the totem of snake for its refined, annual Limited Edition Year of the Snake Fountain Pen collection.

The snake is widely used as a decorative element in many cultures and often found intricately carved on the scepters of kings. It was a symbol of eternal youth and life. In ancient Greece and Rome, this mythical creature symbolized refinement and positive energy. In Chinese culture, the snake is also called the small dragon, representing the traits of wisdom, youth, and authority, and symbolizing the growth of Yang.

The DAVIDOFF Limited Edition Year of the Snake Fountain Pen is designed with two snakes coiling in elegant curves, shining out against the deep intensity of the dark red lacquer. Their eyes stare alluringly into one another, capturing the sight of admirers. Beyond its visual resplendence lies profound significance.

This work of art is finished in natural chestnut varnish, and the body of the snake is detailed with 1098 engraved scales. As an annual signature item of DAVIDOFF , these snake fountain pens feature glamorous color and intricate details on an extended 14cm body, making it a hand-crafted masterpiece.

From the origins of the world, with the intelligence that comes from knowledge and the beauty that accompanies mystery, the snake literally takes possession of the writing instrument, making it a collectible piece featuring unique design and rarity, as well as high performance.

This is the spirit of this year’s Limited Edition Year of the Snake Fountain Pen, a highly treasured collectible item for connoisseurs and collectors of fine writing instruments around the world.
