Earlier we have introduced you to world’s most-expensive pen for $730,000 and also made you familiar with the Namikis 18-carat-gold nib pen, now its time to update the list of most-elite pens, which have become a more of an accessory.

Swiss luxury stationery maker Caran d’Ache displayed its pricey “1010″ fountain pen in Tokyo market on 17 October. With a demanding cost of $174,000 (20 million yen), this pen is festooned with 18-karat gold and studded with a diamond and a ruby. The company produced only 10 limited edition models with one piece made available for the Japanese market. It is Kelvin Tan’s passion (a photographer by profession) for watches and beautiful pens that drove him across newly opened Caran d’Ache boutique in the shopping mall of Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Singapore welcomed the pen with full generosity on 10/10/07 (coincidence). The expertise used to produce such elite pens is worth applauding, as the competent market is ready to beat with its emerging products. Also, the pen is loaded with minutiae that can be associated to fine perfunctory watches.

Known for producing unique writing instruments, Namiki has lately unveiled the Namiki Limited Edition Maki-e Emperor Butterfly and Chrysanthemum. As against the mystery masterpiece worth $730,000; a joint effort by Montblanc and Van Cleef & Arpels, this Japanese pen offers quality under a thin price tag.

Festooned with Japan’s national symbols viz. the Great Purple Emperor butterfly and Chrysanthemum, the great mind of Michifumi Kawaguchi behind this creation has made an efficient use of ages-old way of Maki-e lacquering to design this pen. The displayed pen is the result of the multi-layered designs carved using urushi (sap from lacquer trees of Japan) on the barrel and cap of the pen.

I am sure it would be a different experience altogether to write using 18-karat gold nib with rhodium accent and a piston ink delivery system. With the limited production of counted 99 pens globally, each pen comes packed in a classy gift box, whose cover is ornamented with a “Kaga Yuzen”, a conventional silk dyeing method of Japan.

Well a new accessory viz. Limited Edition Mystery Masterpiece, a joint creation of Montblanc and Van Cleef & Arpels, is a token of love for all the writers under the sun. This beautiful and well decked pen is the reflection of the expertise of two luxury industry giants, who celebrated their centennials in 2006.
The pen comes in three versions i.e. ruby, sapphires and emeralds, accented by diamonds. There are three versions of each pen for a total of nine. Each pen has 840 diamonds and more than 20 carats of gemstones set in a Van Cleef & Arpels patented “Mystery Setting” that conceals the stone settings.
A groove is made on the culet, the bottom facet of the stone, which is then slid onto the threads of the lattice design so that the stones can be held in place side by side without any visible support. The Mystery can be grabbed at the retail of $730,000, making it the most expensive writing instrument ever created. Truly a masterpiece of the jeweler’s art, I just wish my better half would gift me this pen on our ring ceremony. Nothing else can be a better gift for a journalist like me
