Curtis Philanthropy
Most of our philanthropic initiatives have centred on environmental causes. The 'Wildlife Warrior' pen was a major Curtis gift that helped the late Steve Irwin's charity of the same name raise considerable funds at a glittering New York gala. Another recent initiative is this magnificent solid gold pen for the Taronga Zoo Conservation Society - helping raise significant funds in this famous Zoo's Centenary year to protect five of Austalia's most endangered and iconic animals.

THe PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE
International Award Winning Jewellers Curtis Australia have expanded their highly regarded jewellery making skills into several different areas to include pen making and now watch making. These specialised fields rely on Curtis core strengths as fine jewellers and stem from their heritage of five generations of Australian craftsmanship.
In 2002, Glenn Curtis embarked on a whole new challenge, creating unique handcrafted pens that quickly caused a stir in an established market. Most pens are machine made, but Curtis saw an opportunity to create sculptured, carved solid silver and gold luxury pens that draw on their jewellery techniques – a strategy that led to 'Pen World' magazine awarding their prestigious 'Metal Mastery' Award - and a lot of recognition in other countries too.
Italy, Russia, Singapore and India are some of those countries who noticed Curtis artistry. In India, where Curtis pens are particularly well received and sold, a live television audience of nearly 400 million saw Glenn explain aspects of his complex craft.
Publications all around the globe have featured Curtis in their pages, with many writing in-depth stories.
The specialist Italian pen magazine 'Penna' told the fascinating story of the solid gold and gem set 'Wildlife Warrior' pen, a philanthropic Curtis project raising funds for endangered animals.
'International Watch' magazine thought so highly of Curtis Australia's skills they took an unprecedented 26 pages over six detailed articles to explain the mysteries of the Curtis craft to their sophisticated, watch loving readers.
Another prestigious title, '.art Pens & Culture' based in London, has written a fascinating biography about Glenn Curtis and his work, highlighting the fact that Curtis is Australia's only luxury pen maker competing on the world stage.
In Russia, the focus turned to the 'Great Race' pen – a highly detailed solid silver pen recounting the epic tale of the world's first round the world auto race. 'Designare' magazine in Singapore chose the 'Colours of Australia' pen to entertain their readers, this astonishing pen set with hundreds of Australian white and champagne diamonds in a fluid design evocative of Australian landscapes.
Further recognition came with Curtis being favourably compared to world famous brand Cartier in an online article by Superyachts.com - and if that wasn't praise enough, the world's leading authority on luxury 'The Robb Report' awarded Glenn Curtis their coveted 'Best of the Best' Award, a globally recognised marker of the very highest quality craftsmanship and design.
More recently, the Robb Report Australia has featured Curtis Australia luxury watches. This is a relatively recent aspect to the Curtis product line up, and this article focuses on the finer details such as how each watch case screw is hand made individually from solid gold, and how a Curtis watch takes on a more sculptured, organic feel than traditional watches.
It's this imaginative approach to design that helped attract significant attention to Curtis Australia – their work is just simply different. Of this, Master Jeweller and Founder Glenn Curtis has said he '...has always thought you shouldn't be designing any product just to copy someone else. I'd like to offer something different to people that gives them another choice'.
Other honours have come Glenn's way – including being the only jeweller outside the USA to be invited to judge Rio Tinto's Global Jewellery Design Competition held in New York. Of this, Glenn is characteristically generous, saying 'this honour recognises the skills of all Australian jewellers, not just me'
It's a modest approach backed by a love of his craft and a determination to be among the world's best that drives Glenn Curtis and his team of skilled jewellers, watchmakers and designers onwards to even more objectives. Over the last three years they have created hand crafted Curtis watch collections – another set of complex skills that they will doubtless stamp their own distinctive mark on. It's this energy and drive that keeps Glenn Curtis motivated to take on even more projects including offering bespoke and customisable jewellery collections to clients everywhere.
New jewellery ranges are appearing alongside Curtis watches to form considered design collections. You can simply choose one of these exciting pieces now, or perhaps engage with Curtis direct to create something unique just for you. This idea of bespoke customisation is the new luxury – why settle for the ordinary when you can enjoy something that reflects your personality?
Either way, you'll have something to treasure always – even a family heirloom.
The last word really should go to Glenn Curtis - 'We only have one exacting standard of work, and our customers know it's a standard that compares to the world's best'
