The Ultimate Pen

For those of you on here who can afford anything, here's another little gadget to add to your collection, a pretty cool looking watch related pen, the Caran d'Ache's 1010 Limited Edition fountain pen. It is a tribute to the Swiss watchmaking industry and comes in a limited edition of only 500. For the rest of us, get writing those letters to Santa guys, at $19,000.00 U.S a pop, you will have needed to have been very good boys and girls this year

My handwriting is so disgusting, I've retreated to printing only. Now typing, that's more my style. The only things I write anymore are checks, and darned few of those. Perhaps marketing a vintage quill (iron gall ink not included) for a mere $20k is my path to a YG DD....

Do those gears actually do anything?

From what I have seen on the net Gedanken, I don't think so.
I remember the last half decent $20.00 pen I had in my top pocket, I dropped down a drain in London when I bent to tie my shoe lace, imagine doing that with this thing

After a watch, a nice pen is the one thing a male business executive can get away with having as another piece of "jewelry" without looking too flashy. Wedding ring, watch, pen. There's a great local pen store here in Minneapolis, INK.

This is one I picked up at a small local auction on Sunday. I initially went to buy a Hamilton wristwatch which just went out of the ball park in the bidding, but this rare thing could hardly get a bid. It's Italian 18 Kt gold overlay with a retractable nib from the 1920's still in it's original box

I've had one of these in my wallet for about 5 years, it comes in really handy sometimes:

I carry a space pen in my pocket because it's small and can write on anything. It was the cheapo gift I received from my company after completing a 6 week productivity course. They put my name on it using the laser machine in the shop. Thanks guys.
My wife is not interested in watches but she does like pens. I am always buying her cute novelty pens and she's had a few sets of Cross pen/pencil sets but nothing particularly special or noteworthy. I don't know if she would be interested in a fountain pen or not. The ones that I recall can be messy.
Are there any nice non-fountain pens out there? Maybe something even nicer than a space pen?
