And Stars for ever dwell:
I will not say the Day is done,
Nor bid the Stars farewell.

Goodness, my photography (or subject matter for that...matter) isn't on par at all with most of this. Oh well. I'm happy with them anyway.

 

$20 Chinese self-winding mechanical which I just got today, a Shaffer's Statesman (so I've been told), and a Monte Verde Intima.

Pen by muji. Watch by muji.

 

That is an interesting topic.

Do you know which manufacturer produces (or lent the name) to both pens and watches?

Of course we should take apart the mega companies like Richemond or LVMH that holds different luxury brands...

In my mind comes Cartier, Montblanc, and Mazzuoli.

 

Mazzuoli is an Italian designer known for his

and his

Any other?

WOW!!!! What an amazing watch. Nice pen too, but that watch is the Cat's meow. Hubba hubba.

 

Cheers,

Two great American brands beginning with 'W': Waterman and Waltham

 

Assuming you haven't been... If you ever come to Boston, the Waltham Watch factory has been converted into an Industrial Museum. Some really great exhibits, including tons of space dedicated to the watch company. They were truly breaking new ground both in production techniques and products.

Very impressive examples here....Omega seems to be the overwhelming choice of pen collectors. :ltcapd:

I love that watch, but the $30,000+ USD pricetag is a bit much. If you don't mind my asking, what's the going price on your side of the planet?

The last time I posted here, my submission was, frankly...shocking. I hope that this one will look much better!

 

Tah-daaaaah!:

The book: "Flags of our Fathers", by James Bradley.

The pens: Parker Duofold 'Big Red', Parker '51' Flighter, Parker 51.

The watch: 14S Waltham Model 1895, manufactured circa 1899. A special 21st birthday present for myself. Runs like a dream and keeps time excellently.

That is a gorgeous watch. The pens are nice too.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o
    • adamselene
      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
