Most precious writing instrument in the world

[SimonJamesLucas]

Call me a cynic and a party pooper, but if Montblanc truly wanted to show "unconditional dedication and passion to the handwritten word", they'd also make school pens, and pens that cost less than a mortgage payment.

 

A good point, well put.

Not really my cup of tea but I wonder how long before the Chinese do a cheap copy?

¡Bravo¡ and write the same as 50 dollars fp.

[tlaine]

yep, it definitely looks like a cucumber. *lol*

Happens to write? I want proof that it actually is a good writer before I ink it. But actually it looks mass produced, and when I think about it I am sure I have seen a similar one in a catalogue. Perhaps Montblank steals the design from Pilot?

Gee you guys and gals are a bit tough on it, and really....what else would you do with 1.5 million? And just think what a great accessory it would make to the "Hummer" and how nicely it would sit in the pocket of the Versace suit beside the Hero and Bic..

You know, you can't beat sheer quality and taste.

Thank goodness I'm not trying to prove something. Now, if it was in sapphire with black diamonds that were endowed with the enslaved souls of demons...then yeah, I'd see that as an awesome deal. It sure would make getting my thesis done a lot easier.

 

....DEMON! PROOF READ MY THESIS!

....DEMON! DO YOU THINK I SHOULD USE A CREAM OR A LIGHT BLUE BACKGROUND FOR THE PRESENTATION?

....DEMON! FETCH ME SOME WATER!

....DEMON! Uh, oh never mind. I forgot what I needed. BE OFF WITH YOU!

Fugly.

ABSOLUTE TRUTH

I would buy it then resell it for a markup to some Middle Eastern oil tycoon who is desperate to have anything that is 1 of 1.

But wait! If you order now, they will include a personalized feather duster and 3 Ginzu knives. /Craig

 

Craig that actually made me laugh out loud... this is not a good thing as I'm sitting in the library. All the undergrad are looking at me funny.

[Strang]

I'd definitely buy it...but it has a metal section...and, well, that's just a deal-breaker with me.

[Zack Pomerleau]

I for one find it beautiful!

[Easily Amused]

Looks ok. But does it post securely? That's all that matters...

[Kimo]

I also like it, but what is the price? The stones are worth maybe two thousand, tops, and that is assuming the main diamond on the cap is flawless. Is it more than $3,000? If so it is a rip-off. If they could crank these out with Swarovski crystals for about $200 each I would buy one.

Hmm, I bet it costs only about $100,000 USD to make.

 

Is the nib retractable? It looks like it's only partially uncovered in the photo.

My appologies to the students <grin> /Craig

The only thing MB doesnt tell you is that the only ink compatible with this pickle is from an extinct octopus.

[professionaldilettante]

Most precious... right. I have a pen made with solid platinum trim made from metal mined from the center of Mars with a solid diamond barrel. and there is also a bridge I'd like to sell you. Most expensive? yes, most precious? no. For someone who's got a pen handed down to them from their great-great-grandfather, that is precious. For a student who's scraping by with a Lamy Safari for absolutely everything throughout their educational career, that pen is precious. It's what a certain pen means to us as individuals that make it precious, not what kind of rarity we can stuff into it that determines a pens true worth.

I believe it is indeed pretentious to call that "writing instrument". Maybe piece of jewelery (I will restrain myself of making a judgment like pretty or not)...
