This special edition is inspired by Tippel’s 1899 poster "Grundfarben," which was created for Pelikan’s first poster competition. The poster highlights the connection between art and branding, marking an important moment in early advertising.

In "Grundfarben," the pelican is shown as a caring parent, a symbol of trust and responsibility. Tippel’s design turned a commercial poster into a meaningful image, communicating values that are still important to Pelikan today.

By featuring this historic artwork on the pen barrel, Pelikan continues its tradition of turning cultural heritage into writing instruments, giving the old masterpiece new life.

A detail from Tippel’s original design, the cloud formations, appear as a modern, rhythmic pattern on the pen’s decorative sleeve.

These soft shapes reflect light, creating depth and a subtle shimmer. Framed with semi-transparent warm brown resin, the pen blends historic art with modern craftsmanship.

Using the Aurora process, the barrel has fine engravings beneath layers of lacquer for a bright and lively look.

The Souverän M600 "Georg Tippel" special edition combines Pelikan’s technical quality with elegant design. The pen features:
