Pen-upmanship

These are not pens but writing instruments, as the makers claim. And there’s no better way to make a subtle power statement than swishing out one of these to ink that corporate deal. Here’s a listing of some of the world’s best pens.

Waterman
SERENITE

Makers claim the luxury of Serenite goes beyond counting carats or measuring diamond size. Free of conformity, in an alliance between beauty and technology, Serenite is the expression of pure luxury. In a mysterious balance of purity and originality, its elegant, majestic silhoutte can stand upright, cap on or off. The four pens in the series reflect the four elements of the nature – water, air, earth and fire – the ultimate sources of balance and enrichment that are the very essence of creative strength. Each has an uninterrupted curved body whose sense of balance transcends conventional thinking.

Montegrappa
ferrari edition

Adopting the principles which have always ruled the heart of the Ferrari philosophy, Montegrappa has been inspired in its new creation by the concept of challenge: the challenge of sport, paying tribute in its lines and colours to the world of the Ferrari Challenge. FC Annual Edition is available in three versions: sterling silver, steel and black carbon fibre; sterling silver and a special aluminium alloy lacquered in Red Racing decorated with the Italian tricolour; and 18K pink gold and Ingrid grey lacquer. The presentation box is made of wood lacquered in Racing Red, with silver plated plaques (gilded in the gold version), reproducing the 'Montegrappa for Ferrari' logo and the Ferrari 360 Modena. The interior recalls the upholstery of Ferrari cars with its beige colour and hand-stitching.

S. T. Dupont
ANDALUSIA

The southern Spanish region of Andalusia is extremely rich in history, due to the succession of different civi-lisations that thrived there for thousands of years. Andalusia became a cultural focal point and the Moors introduced the art of making azulejos, or tiles, leaving us a legacy of magnificent mosaics with complex geometric designs. Drawing its inspiration from these brightly coloured mosaics, S.T. Dupont has a designed a limited edition collection of exceptional objects combi-ning platinum, Chinese lacquer and turquoise, a tribute to the brand's craftsmanship.
