CONWAY STEWART HAS RECENTLY LAUNCHED THE LADY CHURCHILL PEN IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE.

25 NOVEMBER 2024

Conway Stewart has recently launched The Lady Churchill Pen in association with the University Of Cambridge.

The Lady Churchill Pen has been designed to honour Clementine Ogilvy Spencer Churchill; the wife of Sir Winston Churchill.

Sir Winston Churchill wrote to his wife when he was away from home, and she would reply to him. In these letters he was called fondly by his wife “my sweet Pug”, and his nickname for her was “Clemmie Kat”. He often drew little pictures of a “Pug” at the end his letters, and Lady Churchill would end her letters with a drawing of a “Kat”.

Reading these letter, we see a very personal side of the Great Man. How much of the “Churchill factor” we all know and admire is due to Clementine’s love, advice and support? We will never know, but with the Conway Stewart Churchill Heritage Pens, and the Conway Stewart Lady Churchill Pens we aim to celebrate both their lives, and their legacy to future generations. We also wanted to celebrate their sense of fun and love shown in the sketches of his “Pug” and her “Kat” which we have reproduced on these pens.

All Lady Churchill pens have the image of the "Kat" from her letter dated 27 June 1940 engraved on top of the cap.

The Lady Churchill pens are produced in association with the Master, Fellows and Scholars of Churchill College, and a percentage of each sale goes to support their work in keeping the archives of Sir Winston Churchill for future generations.

  1. Conway Stewart have also launched the Churchill 150th Anniversary Pen

This special edition is a Conway Stewart Churchill sterling silver overlay pen fitted with a 23ct gold-plated sterling silver cap button engraved with Winston Churchill's birthday.

The barrel and cap overlay is engraved with an intricate guilloché pattern, created using a traditional engine-turning machine that is nearly a century old.  This guilloché engraving reflects light in all directions which modern engraving methods can not match. This meticulous craftsmanship makes this pen a true work of art.

The last time Conway Stewart made a Churchill overlay pen was for Queen Elizabeth II Golden Jubilee and that was only made in 18ct gold 

Limited Edition of only 150 pens world-wide

Each pen is Hallmarked to prove the purity and quality of the sterling silver. Each pen is made to order at our workshop in England. Available as a fountain pen or a rollerball.
