Collection Smiley® Heritage

In 1972, a journalist at France-Soir had the idea of using a yellow smiley face to tag the day’s good-news stories. The practice caught on. Fifty years later, Smiley® is an icon and a global byword for positivity.

The essential ZERO has never been more uplifting: with smiles for miles on a body milled from gold-plated brass. Enjoy year-round writing joy with refined proportions and engineering in editions of 365 pieces.

Colour and lustre are added to each design using vibrant, high-grade enamels. Meticulously applied by hand, lapping and polishing ensure its rich, permanent colours lie perfectly flush with their gilded brass surrounds.

An extra dose of happiness greets fountain pen users every day: a beaming grin is engraved into a custom 14K yellow gold nib. Fuel it – and your imagination – with a complimentary bottle of special-edition Smiley® ink. (Also sold separately).
