Rats. I was hoping petrol blue would not be a special edition so the price would be reasonable (MB reasonable ay least).

How I wish Montblanc offered only one colour a year... :lol:

 

I think they're trying their best to keep up with the Japanese inks.

Being SE, it is probably 35 € instead of 20 €. sad.png

"Color of the Year" sounds like MB has been, ah, inspired by Pelikan's Edelstein Ink of the Year concept.

-- Joel -- "I collect expensive and time-consuming hobbies."

 

INK (noun): A villainous compound of tannogallate of iron, gum-arabic and water,

chiefly used to facilitate the infection of idiocy and promote intellectual crime.

(from The Devil's Dictionary, by Ambrose Bierce)

Well you know they had the "annual edition" pens for a number of years. They were 144 models with porcelain caps painted with various themes.

 

GvFC may also already have rights to the Pen of the Year as a branded application to pens.

If you want less blah, blah, blah and more pictures, follow me on Instagram!

When did they stop and was it only the 144?

They stopped in 2012 and yes, it was just the 144 in that series. Here are some photos:

I remember now, similar to the PoA Marquise de Pompadour which is based on the 149 IIRC.

 

They ought to have continued since it was not encroaching on the 146 and 149 LE's.

Auds, I for one thank the stars for that or else I'd be dirt poor.

Are the ceramics prone to cracking? I would definitely have to take due diligence on where to place the cap (I can imagine it dropping from the table).

You would have to treat it with care, as you would any expensive ceramics.

Did they go to Santa Monica Pier?

 

The pictures always look nice however they never show all the homeless. You have to actually be there to see that.

      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..

      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

      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
