Mont Blanc is well known for its writing instruments, some of which are rare, collectibles and very expensive! They seem to increase in price every year much like the Rolexes. I have the privilege to own a few expensive ones for a "Normal" layman which were gifts from a good friend, and two from companies I associate with. I myself would not have splashed out any more than $150 for such a pen and probably the most expensive pen I have ever purchased in the Mont Blanc line was a black resin and a maroon resin ball pointed pen which is no longer in my possession, as it has gone lost and never came back. Talking about writing, I used to write when I was younger, be it writing my diary or for the fun of writing. Not that I am any good at writing though...even if I had won an essay writing competition just once during my younger years at lower secondary in SOAS college. Nowadays, writing is more like a classy hobby for those who has time. I know I don't have the time to write anymore, and I'm happy enough to type away in my blog that is if I have the itsy bitsy time for a minute or two.
An all silver (plated?) roller ball Mont Blanc pen given to me as a gift from a rich friend for my birthday during my University years in the US.
A free gift from Standard Chartered Bank for my credit card application. Apparently its a limited edition (special edition) Mont Blanc ball point pen dedicated to a World reknown Violinist Yehudi Menuhin.
A Mont Blanc "Floating Star" Edition fountain pen which I use regularly to sign documents etc. It was a gift from a friend at Dell Computers. Notice the star on top of the pen in which seems to float in mid air?
