Most Expensive Montblanc

[Penne Stilografiche]

I found this article today that shows the 10 most expensive pens in the world. Shockingly, a Montblanc pen is only the second most expensive pen, verses being the most expensive. Anyway, enjoy the article.

These are perverted pens. I'd like to have the Money,

but I'd rather write with my simple Meisterstück or one of my sheaffer Targas, PFM oder Legacys

Disgusting pens. (In my humble opinion)

 

The value of these pens is not to do with the pen, rather with the materials they have stuck onto them.

Craftsmanship also plays a part - but, read the hyperbole. This is all about status and display.

 

Thanks.

 

 

Edited to try and moderate my stance from offensive to 'meh'. Moderate success.

In all honestly, most of the pens are not worth in as a pen or even in material value. The 1.4 million dollar pen is worth approx. $500-700 in gold and $5000 in diamonds depending on the 4 c's. With labor costs, it is probably only worth $10,000-20,000, not even close to the 1.4 million dollar price tag. Most of the other pens on that list look very hideous, I honestly wouldn't write with any of them even if someone gave me one for free, they look ridiculous.

From a writing standpoint these pens should not even be considered. They are objects that the idle rich can leave on their desks or keep in smart glass display cases. They are, like gossip, fun to read about.

Well a couple of years ago the cost of the 'Royal Black Diamond Fountain Pen' was, in the Queens currency,

£125,193.87p which equated to €150,150.00 thus roughly equating to $194,087.00.....losing this at the office or in a taxi would be a really bad day dont you think !!!!

I think someone who would have the money to afford this would have a personal driver rather and be the CEO of a company with a large office to himself, so I don't think there would be a big chance of permanently losing it... I would only buy that pen if it came along with a house and a car.

I don't think these pens look that bad, but a few of them look like they mutated out of the swarm of Starcraft's Zerg race.

[Rosetta59]

Paperweights, not even writing instruments.

If I had big money to spend I would prefer great vintage pens (rouge et noir, 139 ...)

Even my poor, trusted mb344 or my soennecken 100 are ways better than these monsters !

Those diamonds are tiny and difficult to even guess how many Points, or rather fraction of a point, each is, and that is the problem with using a standardised term, carat, for all stones. $1.4 million? I think Penne Stilografiche's price tag is nearer it's material value ... $1.38 million added for the artistry? I am having difficulty in stopping myself laughing out loud!
