In 2011, The “Century 3776” Series Was Released In Honor Of The Approaching 100Th Anniversary Of Platinum And Was Designed To Maintain The Quality Standards Defined By The Original 3776 Combined With The Needs Of A Modern Fountain Pen User: New Sleek Design, Comfortable Writing Balance, And Smooth Flow.

The Celluloid Series Of Platinum’S Century 3776 Pens Features Spectacular And Unique Pens In Bold Color Patterns. The Celluloid Material Starts Off As A Gel, But Softens When Heated To Extremely High Temperatures And Hardens When Cooled. It Is A Very Durable Material That Is Waterproof And Shatterproof, But Requires An Extended Months-Long Curing Time. The Production Of Platinum’S Celluloid Pens Requires Each Small Block Of Color Along The Pen Body To Be Individually And Manually Assembled And Pressed Into A Barrel Shaped Mold, A Time-Consuming And Labor Intensive Process. The Celluloid Material Imparts A Different Feeling To The Fountain Pen, Giving It More Smoothness In Your Hand And A Feeling Of Solidity Often Only Found In Vintage Fountain Pens. The Koi Celluloid Platinum Century 3776 Features A Beautiful Blend Of Reds, Pinks And Creamy Whites And Is Inspired By The Traditional Japanese Art Of Raising Koi Fish. The Pen Is Truly Reminiscent Of A Pond Of Lively Koi Fish Gliding In The Water.
