Montblanc

just made his PhD.

There is a tradition in my family that whenever someone makes his PhD
he is gifted with a pen.

In fact as far as my family tree can be reconstructed there has been
only two occupations (although we don't live in caste system ) teachers and soldiers.
If I recollect correctly T.Bean told me when we were in Paris that in Chinese tradition teachers, soldiers and doctors
are most esteemed occupations. It's obviously time for one doctor in family
OK back to subject.
This time it was my turn to choose a pen.
Although I'm not very decisive when multiple choices are in question this time
it was no brainer for me.

I opted for classic



I opted for 149



Congrats bro


Of course we had little salutation as well

Congratulations to your brother!  

lucky again

That is indeed a wonderful gift.  Please forward my best wishes to him on this milestone in his professional career.

This is exactly the "reputation" MB has built for its pens over the past century...

Now they just have to accomplish the same for its watches.

Best, Mike

I'll send him your best.

I had to buy my own after graduation, but it has stayed with me as a wonderful momento of the achievement.

Now we have one more thing that combine us

This reminds me of Russell Crowe's "A Beautiful Mind" when the other professors recognize his achievements in mathematics and they each give him their pens.

Cheers,
Anthony

Thank you for kind words
