Product Description
Type Unique modern ballpoint pen
Product Name Kilada.
Manufacturer and Year Jorg Hysek, Switzerland. Early 2000s.

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. This same knob unscrews further to allow you to replace the refill.
Color Matte black with a lengthwise ribbed pattern. Two red rings on either side of the clip ring.
Condition Excellent + condition. There is a spot with some brassing and corrosion, as well as purple ink staining on the twist knob at the top of the barrel. We've cleaned away some of it after taking the pictures, but a bit still remains. Under magnification, we see light signs of usage and small scratches on the barrel. 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.
