@Cyrille81 I was just wondering about the € number while creating my post.  Thank you.

And what pen might that one be?

Is it my eyes, or the ink is passing the ink chamber (right side)?

Hmm.

How might one flush this pen and nib?

It is pure beauty 

What a pity for how much money pleasure cost.

It would be interesting to see how the backend filling mechanics work.

I’d assumed that it’d be capillary action, like an original Parker 61 or Pelikan ‘Level’ pen - but that video makes it look more like some kind of ‘vacuum filler’ equivalent 🤷‍♂️

Supposedly the final release.

 

100th year of Meisterstück, and I won't be buying anything.

 

The green Origin got closest.

With the bulb that sits to the right of the photo. I assume that you attach the bulb at the back, fill it with water and squeeze. The water will come out the nib?

To me, this rear filler got closest. If it had been $2000 I would have one on order, but not at $5100.

There's definitely pressure that builds from pressing down on the pen into the bottle and then the pressure reverses and pushes the ink back into the pen. The problem with this design is that unless you use the bulb to push the old ink out the nib, you'll end up pulling old ink into the bottle first and your ink in the bottle will age much faster than if you never contaminate it with old ink in the first place like a normal nib filler.

They should sell the demonstrator for $300. I bet they'd sell a lot...

Nomos makes watches with in-house mechanical movements in Germany and sells them for less than Montblanc sells a plastic pen with some PVD gold trim. It's not rididuclous to think it shouldn't cost the same as a Namiki Rakucho does in Japan.

Not sure what you mean? The demonstrator has cheap clear plastic and is mass-produced and the only thing valuable on it is the gold nib. Why should it cost thousands?

I thought you were mocking me for saying I would buy the pen if it had been $2000 instead of $5000 lol

Nope, not mocking. I agree with you that this is a money grab.
