That's a great thread - combining two of my interests. I really liked browsing your photos.

 

Here is my first take on the topic; A bit older photo from my archives, but I still like the Bauhaus-style of both the Lamy 2000 and the Junghans Max Bill (ref: 027/3500.00).

I've tried various ways to upload an image with no luck so far.

Yes, I've read the instructions on the first page...

I'll put the link here for now and edit it if I can figure this out.

I'm happy with how my latest pen addition, a Pelikan M800 Brown-Black, mates up with what I'm wearing on my wrist today...

...or at least how well it matches the alligator strap on what I'm wearing today.

Old photo taken more than 10 years ago, 1970 Omega integrated bracelet Constellation with MB149 and Conklin Nozac demo

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

That's a nice Omega, George.  I'd love to find a Constellation someday.

 

Here are a couple pieces from the early 1950s.  A teal Parker 51 from 1951 and an Omega Seamaster from 1952.  I don't think the watch was ever worn, as the sticker is still on the back.

What about some pen and ink video?

 

I've recently become a fountain pen and ink fan, and I had a little fun imagining what it would be like if my Noodler's Dragon's Napalm ink came to life:

 

 

 

To get the ink drop up close I used a 100 mm macro lens for some of the shots.

 

All of this is live action - no CG or animation is used.

 

I hope the purists don't object - some science tricks were used to add...unusual character to the ink for this clip.

 

 

 

That's amazing! Did you add iron shavings and use a magnet, or add something to make it non-Newtonian? Either way, brilliant! You also must be a very patient person :-)

      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

      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
