With a silhouette that defies convention, the Tombow Zoom 848, also known as "The Egg", is a masterpiece of modern Japanese design. Its name is no accident: its oval-shaped body evokes the smoothness and perfection of an egg, making it a style statement both on the desk and in the writer's hand.

The metallic silver finish enhances its understated, minimalist character, while its lightweight resin body, combined with metallic accents, conveys solidity without sacrificing comfort. When held, it feels more like an extension of the body than a simple writing instrument: an impeccable balance between ergonomics and aesthetics.

This exclusive model was designed with a futuristic vision in mind, and today it has become a vintage icon highly coveted by collectors around the world. It was developed by Tombow Japan, a brand recognized for its commitment to innovation and quality craftsmanship since 1913.

It uses refillable cartridges (model BK-LSP), and its writing mechanism offers exceptional fluidity, making the act of writing an almost meditative experience. The Zoom 848 not only writes with elegance: it also communicates a message of distinction and attention to detail.

Today, more than two decades after its launch, the Tombow Zoom 848 remains a cult piece, sought after for its rarity, its unique design and its history linked to the art of writing with intent.
