Wtb: Breguet Fountain Pen

[prisariu]

I am searching for the fountain pen pictured below- which is a fountain pen made by breguet in small numbers. Pic courtesy of Jack Forster on purist.com.

 

Also, if you happen to have any one of the series of breguet writing instruments, I am interested in those as well.

 

Please email me as I do not check pm that often. Thanks.

I also think the Breguet pen is quite unique and very attractive. I believe it was made for Breguet by Montegrappa and is currently only available in one of the boutiques. There is one in New York and one on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills in Los Angeles. I actually called and spoke to some fancy accented gentleman at the LA boutique about a year ago about getting one of the pens, but held off for whatever reason I really can't remember now.

 

Here is a link to the Breguet web site that lists their boutique locations.

Would that be papyrus underneath the pen?

Thanks for the info. Your story is very interesting because neither montegrappa nor Breguet mentioned at the time of reveal that the fountain pen was a collaborative work. I do know that breguet fountain pens are available at the boutique but with the MSRP over $2000, I don't find it very attractive to buy it new regardless of it being my "grail." I know there are people with this pen who like to sell it but don't list it on ebay, etc because nobody buys it. I've seen one on bay at a very competitive price but nobody cared to bid and the seller just withdrew (I bitterly waited as I didn't have enough money and courage then).

 

So I am....well, still waiting for THE moment to come.

 

Additionally, I am not sure what that is under the pen. However, the owner being a member of the purists.com, it is very likely to be a papyrus or an exotic paper of similar origin.

Bump!

I also am looking for the Breguet writing instrument but ballpoint only. Been looking at many avenues but no luck throughout the years. I am surprised there has not been any recent listing on any of the Breguet writing pieces.

 

I am going to travel to LA sometime soon and I may pay a visit to the Breguet boutique on Rodea Drive. Let's see if I have the mind power to stop pulling out my wallet.

 

If anyone who has a Breguet Ballpoint for sale, pls email me.

 

Thx!
