The Lamy cp1<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

1974 is a special year \u2014 not only for me (I was born that year) but also because of all the other things that happened that year 😜<\/p>\n

In the USA, Star Trek: The Animated Series got cancelled; in the UK, ABBA won the Eurovision song contest in Brighton with their song, ‘Waterloo’; in China the Terracotta army was discovered; and in Germany, the VW Golf and the Lamy cp1 multifunction pen<\/a> were launched.<\/p>\n

\"Lamy’s<\/a>
The Lamy cp1 twin pen<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I’m happy to say that the cp1 pen\/pencil is still with us today. Designed by Gerd A. M\u00fcller, who also designed the Lamy 2000<\/a>, the cp1 has seen quite a few additions to the line over the years \u2014\u00a0Lamy’s design history page<\/a> shows that the twin pen was the first off the line, but there’s also a fountain pen, ballpoint pen, rollerball, mechanical pencil and tri (multifunction) pen in the cp1 series.<\/p>\n

The Lamy cp1 twin multifunction pen lets you switch between a 0.5 mm mechanical pencil and a ballpoint pen. My cp1 has Lamy’s M55 orange highlighter refill instead of a normal ballpoint refill. This way I can write with the pencil in my diary but can also highlight anything that needs further attention.<\/p>\n
