Click Renaissance Demonstrator aesthetically pleasing, machined to perfection, a winner all the way!
The Click Renaissance is turning out to be one hell of a range. The stormed into the market with eye-candies and even before the excitement could subside, have started adding different line extensions that are taking it to a whole new level. The basic philosophy that is driving the Click push forward is one where they continuously try to reinvent themselves by moving up the quality ladder, among other things, by enriching their offerings. Instead of flogging the same horse, Click is actually creating newer niche segments for itself where it is not only moving in with considerable elan, but is also quietly digging in, ready to defend its positions from threats both from within and outside the country. A very positive and welcome strategy, if you ask me.
This Click Renaissance Demonstrator is no exception. It has a screw in Jowo nib unit, which offers a number of options to the aficionado - for one, Jowo is a globally revered name when it comes to the quality of nibs and by adding it, Click has automatically moved this pen up the desirability ladder by many notches. Being a screw in type, the nib units can be changed in a jiffy, which not only improves the ability to clean up this pen but also provides options of trying out multiple nib types, which in itself, is, a very welcome distraction for any fountain pen obsessed hobbyist. Besides, Jowo nib units are also available widely, the ease with which they can be accessed and at the reasonable price points in which they can be had, making them even dearer to the fanatics. The fact that Click pens are all handcrafted and are created following strict quality norms that the entity has perfected having acted as an OEM to overseas brands for many years now, are also advantages that are built into every Click offering, just like the fact that being a family owned business where Harsh Gagwani is the third generation in the helm of affairs, Click is extremely serious about its business having staked the family reputation on it. I will not test the patience of those going through this piece by waxing eloquent about the writing quality of Jowo nibs, reams of paper have already been used, and I think it would just suffice to say that these nibs are no nonsense, apart from being extremely well made, universally accepted and robust to a fault.
But what really strikes me about this Click Renaissance demonstrator is its finish. This is an acrylic pen and the kind of polish that Click has successfully achieved on the surface is breath-taking. I do not think that I can be faulted if I say that I am mesmerised by the quality of the polish that has been achieved on this surface. When I say this, we must remember that Click is a bulk producer and the fact that quality of such high level is being consistently achieved, points to its prowess as a producer, for while a one off piece of such a high standard is feasible, it is living up to it that becomes difficult. Why, I will even stick my neck out to say that I have not seen such quality of finish in mass-produced, acrylic pens earlier.
Add to this the fact that Click Renaissance Demonstrator is aesthetically, a beautiful pen. Its bold straight lines are almost like a salute to the Bauhaus designing philosophy. The two thin rings around the cap end balance perfectly with the clip ring and the solid taper as the barrel ends into the finial, is, at least to me, reason enough to acquire this pen. In terms of size, girth, balance and weight, it is just perfect for most hands and the very fact that the visual appeal matches the performance of this pen is what makes it a winner. As for sheer writing pleasure, this is a pen that can make the competition run for its money, or fame, or whatever.
The Click Renaissance Demonstrator was unveiled in late last year and in the intervening period, if the market grapevine is to be believed, they have curved out a space in the hearts of pen lovers, not only here in India but also abroad (Click pens are readily available in the United States where they are reasonably well appreciated). The most heartening piece of news, however, is that Click in general and the Click Renaissance Demonstrator in particular, is posing a serious challenge to fountain pens that are imported in bulk from China. This particular pen, and it is not xenophobia that is driving me to say this, is not only capable to taking on anything that is thrown towards us across the great wall, but can also go on the offensive. As a matter of fact, this saffron demonstrator will be in my hand as I humbly pay tribute to the Republic on this 26th of January.

thank you jyotshna :)
It is certainly very good that Click is providing us with options - however a point to note - Jowo nib units are quite expensive and hard to find in India... I am quite sure that a lot of people are waiting for Click to make available, it's own nib units ! They already fit their own nib units in all their newer pens, and even make units with ebonite feeds as seen in the 'President' model (which for some peculiar reason, is the *only* model with their amazing U-flex nib 🤷🏻♂️) . The original renaissance was priced at ₹2.2K and the one with Jowo nib is priced at ₹3.5K.... does this mean a jowo nib is worth over ₹1300 more than a click nib ? I'm sorry if this comment comes across as a little obnoxious. I just want Click and other indian brands to be what Pilot, Platinum and Sailor are to Japan - they make their nibs in-house and it wouldn't be unfair to say that their quality-control has long surpassed jowo, bock or even in-house western manufacturers like Lamy and faber-castell.

sir, far from being obnoxious, your point is extremely valid and relevant. i am forwarding this to Harshji of Click for his perusal and necessary action. I too feel that we should try and model ourselves on the Japanese - not only as manufacturers but also as consumers. Thank you for writing in. hope you will continue to enrich the conversation here with your valuable comments. thank you again.
great explanation and great handwriting
Thank You, Chawm, and thank you, Harsh! Yes indeed, Click's full range of fountain pens including the Demonstrator, are highly desirable and affordable. Happy Writing and Happy Republic Day on Thursday!

Pleasantly surprised to know that Click is getting a recognition worldwide even though I don’t see Click’s mention/review by the popular KZreadrs that I follow.. I’d be interested in knowing how it compares with Kanwrite Heritage Demonstrator which is priced exactly half !

dadaji, another good story. and than k yoppu for explaining about the Jowo nib unit. was kind of a mystery to me - everybody talked about them without really understanding what it was. thank you for making it all so very clear. by the by, what is the price of this pen? please ask click to have a good website as it is so difficult to buy from them. and the website does not match the quality of their pens - that ultimately gives a bad face to india. thank you.
Sir, can you tell me how to order a pen from Krishna inks and pens

Sir, can we take the nib out of the nib unit to replace the nib here (say, to replace it with a Kanwrite 35mm nib) ?
Does click have a dedicated website where they sell their fountain pens with options to choose the nib units, fine/medium/etc. nib types, etc.?

the easiest "solutiion" will be to take it in the stride, dip the nib in ink when you start writing. some people seek solace in changing the nib and feed, often with ones acquired from Kanwrite.
দাদা, I have so many clicks including a few Aristocrats, Aristocrat Ebonite, Orion Acrylic & Ebonite, Renaissance Acrylic, Falcon acrylic, some majestics also. What I found that their in House nibs are good but little inconsistent in terms of writing. Like my click falcon has a fine nib but writes like a medium with heavenly smoothness but the same fine nib in my aristocrat ebonite writes like a real fine nib with some feedback. I too have some pens with jowo nibs but compared to the falcon's fine nib I don't find them that much good although they are better. Click's aftersale service is wonderful too. I hope you remember I asked you for some help regarding my renaissance & already the problem has been fixed . I follow so many renowned fountain pen reviewers from the West. They are mostly reviewing premium ranga pens. We have here so many pen turners who still make their pens by hand with superior quality they also need to be in the focus. Like woodex, mohi, plp etc etc. I have their pens, they have much more affordable models. Like solid ebonite from plp is available at 2400/- with a jowo nib unit & Schimdt converter. Please do some pen reviews from them too. I wish click to grow more & more.
