Visconti looked for inspiration from one of the world's greatest artists, Rembrandt van Rijn. His painting technique, chiaroscuro, is echoed in the Rembrandt finishes. On close inspection, apparently solid colors reveal the chiaroscuro nuances, giving the illusion that each one is painted by hand. The Visconti arc clip has been restyled with a new spring mechanism that is virtually indestructible. The cap and barrel snap together with a unique magnetic lock that is easy and efficient. The metal band is finely engraved with ornamental motifs used by the artist.
