Who's waiting on the new Edison Nouveau Encore?
I have been watching my RSS fill up with all the photos. I am not sure I like them all but the blue ocean looking one is fascinating. So it has three things never seen on an Edison. I see the cap band. That is an obvious one. One of the photos shows a side view of the cap finial/jewel that looks to be metal. What is the third, never before seen on an Edison pen feature?

where are you guys finding these pictures?
I can't wait to see what the whole pen looks like! I think the new features are: The band as you mentioned, the Jewel also that you mentioned, and the last one is the Edison logo on a #5 sized nib. I'm curious to see what the jewel design is going to be, also the price point. Seeing as his smaller pens are around the 200~225 mark in the signature line, I may be more tempted to do a custom Mina if these are priced along the same lines.

Brian and Rachel have been posting them on the blog: http://www.inknouveau.com/Originally Posted by fountainpenkid
And I figured out what the third is. Engraved #5 nibs. Posted after you posted, inky.
Well, as far as pricing, I think this is a "mass production" pen so it can't be the same as a custom pen. Maybe in the $180 range since the other ones are $150??? Maybe $150???? *crosses fingers*

Looks nice, and maybe this would make my first Edison pen. However, I still want to see and touch and Edison pen first. One of the goals for the Chicago pen show. Any chance Brian will bring some of these along as well?
where , sith lord, do you see 3 rings?
Who da what now?
You guys are pretty perceptive! The full reveal will be tomorrow, but so far you are spot on! The "thingy" in the top of the cap...I wasn't sure if many people would catch that detail in the Goulet's photos, but you're on the right track. Tune in to Write Time at Nine tomorrow night. We'll be devoting most of the show to this pen.
And yes, we will have these pens as well as the rest of the Production and Signature Line in Chicago.
Oh, that purple material is beautiful! Lovely work again, Mr Gray.
@Krazyivan sorry! i guess i was looking at your signature and though that was your username! I didn't mean it!
I got the ring thing now......you meant there are three rings overall on the pen....

Nope. I meant that there are three new features never seen before on an Edison Pen. Brian revealed the third, and it is as I thought and as Mr. Gray confirmed. The three new things are:
- Cap band
Cap finial
Engraved #5 nib. <- This one I would have never got on my own. Did not realize the #5 nibs were not engraved.
I did not want to in-line the pictures in this thread but they are some very nice shots. Everything can be seen on the Goulet's blog.

oh.....got it now!
*facepalm*
No worries.
After looking at the cap finial, I am guessing this is not going to be a $150 pen. I wonder if the finial is screwed in place or glued in.

I hope its screwed in.......
Yeah....I feel like this will be over $200

I'm not sure it will be too much more then the Premire, my guess is around $175 to $190. Though if this was Price is Right, I'd have to go with $1 Bob. All joking aside, the jewel on this thing makes the pen! Looking very much forward to their reveal tonight! Sigh, if only I didn't tap out my pen fund with Greg Minuskin today!
Screw in finial.No worries.

With price, I can say definitely less than $200. Tune in tonight!
Ahh, okay, so $199. Gotchya.
I am going to have to miss the unveil so people will need to fill me in tomorrow.
NVM, looks like the event I was going to attend has been cancelled. I'll be watching and maybe participating if the chat system decides to let me in.

Just in - Official price is $185. The broadcast is going on now. Blue Agate has my name all over it for more reasons than it is blue.

very sweet looking pen. Oddly enough, price = Vac 700 + Micarta. hmmmmmmmm, thinking about it that way is making it more likely for me to swing the funds.
And I agree... Blue Agate!
I've fallen for the Turquoise and ordered it. With the Micarta safely in hand I think I just passed on the Vac 700 in favor of the Encore.
