Why Parker?

[Eduardo]

Why???

 

1. The pen that teaches me to write... (Parker 51)

 

2. The pen my father used all his life... (Parker 61 Insignia)

 

3. The pen my father put into my suit pocket the day I've married my wife... "Special signatures needs special pens"... He said... (Parker 45 Insignia)

 

No other brand has been so present in my life...

Parker is not my favorite brand. No modern Parker catches my attention, so I can't say if they're good or if they worth the cost.

 

But I just love love love and love the Vacumatics, they are, by far (IMHO), the most beautiful pens ever made (except maybe for some über expensive Maki-e pens that I'd never be able to afford, so...).

 

I already have blue, green, brown and silver, all major. And now my grail pen is a burgundy one.

 

Parker will be forever in my heart just for doing the vacumatics.
