Originally launched in 1978, the Platinum 3776 was a landmark fountain pen designed by Haruo Umeda. The numbers refer to the height of Mt Fuji in meters, much like Montblanc's 4810. Mr. Umeda gave early prototypes of the pen to fifty different writers for testing. Each of these writers (as working professionals) wrote a minimum of thirty pages per day. At the end of this testing their suggestions were then weighed and considered in finalizing the Platinum 3776 design. Four basic design concepts came out of the testing: (1) The pen’s barrel must be thick; (2) The nib must be on the large size, 14k gold considered durable and suitable for heavy writing. (3) The design must never be boring, but something the owner-writer can treasure. (4) The pen must fit the hand well Today, over 40 years later, the Platinum 3776 century carries their design philosophy further, adding several design features such as the award-winning "Slip and Seal" cap, which ensures a non-dry pen for several months!! Platinum recently celebrated 100 years of history, and will certainly be here for decades to come. Featured here is the beloved staple Chartres Blue 3776, a handsome and well-built pen which just performs. #untaughrod #fountainpennib #fountainpens #fountainpennerd #fountainpen #fpgeeks #nib #platinumfountainpen #platinumpens #platinumjapan #platinum3776 #プラチナ #プラチナ万年筆 #3776センチュリー #japan #japanesefountainpen #mtfuji #fuji #painting #digitalpainting #digitalillustration #digitalart #fountainpenart #fountainpenaddict
