Product Description
Type Unique modern ballpoint pen
Product Name Kilada.
Manufacturer and Year Jorg Hysek, Switzerland. Early 2000s.
Length 5-3/8"
Filling System Takes Parker style refills, one of which is installed. You twist the knob at the top of the cap to extend and retract the tip. Note that the retract mechanism is a little "sticky", and doesn't always pull the tip back in. We suspect that some of the grease inside has gotten old and is to blame.
Color Matte Black, with a shiny silver colored clip.
Condition Excellent condition. Under magnification, we see light signs of usage and small scratches. The black coating around the very tip of the cone is slightly dented and in some places flaked away, though you have to look VERY closely at it to notice; we've included an extreme closeup of this area in the photos. The shiny clip and clip ring have light scratches. No dents, dings, cracks, or chips.
Jorg Hysek is well-known in the watch designer arena. He's worked for such companies as Cartier, TAG Heuer, Seiko, and Rolex. The Kilada was the brand's first watch model.
