Once Upon a Design

In celebration of the season in which two of Ferris Wheel Press’ co-founders were born, the story behind this design begins with their love for horology. This creamy nostalgic tone represents the joy of antique shopping, and looking through glass cabinets in search of your next piece to fall in love with. Taking inspiration from historic watchmakers, we celebrate the meticulous effort and timeless design details of vintage watches that have been appreciated for decades and defined generations of style and elegance.

Notable design details:

  • Design nods to some of the most prestigious and well-known production pieces in history, including iconic details like sunburst dials, chronographs, moon phase complications, Jubilee bracelets, Arabic numerals, and more.
  • In-house calibre mechanical movement hand illustrated on the back of the packaging with “49 jewels”, representing the current number of inks that have been created in the Everyday Collection.
  • Three of the inspired models are personal pieces owned by the founders of Ferris Wheel Press

Subtle and Shining

Like all FWP inks, this comes in a lovely box. Since the color is called Oyster Hour, the images of clocks are stylized all over the box. The glass bottle has a nice weight and the bronze cap is a great touch. I ordered Oyster Hour not really knowing the strength of the ink. I am pleasantly surprised that it is soft and delicate but still plenty strong to use for everyday writing. It has a creamy tint to the brown/beige hue. I might like it a bit more if it had a little opalescence to it, but overall it's a lovely color to write with.

Need more browns in my life

I really love this, especially with a broad nib. Anything smaller was a bit light to read. The description doesn't mention any shading, but I think it shades nicely on a good coated paper. Makes me feel very Aesthetic when I use it for journaling.

Love at second sight

When I first saw this color I didn't care for it, I thought "Eeeeeee." But then I was in the market for a new brown and it clicked, I was a fan quickly once I had a vision. So you see, the problem was never the ink, the problem was me all along. I love it now and you will too.
