Some dream pens.

Sep 26, 2024,17:08 PM
 

Here is a small selection of great pens. Each of them is a dream for me. 


Let's start with the Andy Warhol: 





The " Grimm ": 



The two " Guggenheim " with a preference for the white one:





The Mark Newson, so " Design "! 



The Chamonix Olympics: 



And last but not least, the " Orient Express ". 


My favorite remains the Guggenheim I had the pleasure to see at the Montblanc HQ in Hamburg, in 2016. 

But all of them are fantastic. 

Which is your favorite?

Best,

Nicolas

I'm not into pens but I did buy a Montblanc Limited Elvis Presley pen when I bought my split chrono from the NY boutique. They are so well made and have some heft to them.

That was a cool one. As for the Andy Warhol, yes, I really like this one. And not the most expensive!

I would go for the Andy Warhol

 
By: aWtchslvr : September 26th, 2024-17:37

2 for the Andy Warhol. It is not only nice looking, it is also funny.

 
By: amanico : September 26th, 2024-17:42

Ditto!

 
By: InHavenPro : September 26th, 2024-18:26

Definitely.

 
By: amanico : September 26th, 2024-20:57

the Warhol nib is also a winner !

 
By: VinnieD : September 26th, 2024-17:46
...  

You have it?

 
By: amanico : September 26th, 2024-17:47

no I went with the Origins 149 this year

 
By: VinnieD : September 26th, 2024-17:55
century edition of Meisterstuck ... But the Warhol is on the funky wish list

Agreed, really cool and tempting.

 
By: amanico : September 26th, 2024-20:56

PS: 3 for the Warhol.

 
By: amanico : September 26th, 2024-21:12

I'll take the Montblanc Red M

 
By: Thomas_3 : September 26th, 2024-18:05
by Marc Newson

Plus 1 Tom.

 
By: Doug from New Mexico : September 26th, 2024-18:42

Great design though not a dream of a nib.

 
By: aWtchslvr : September 26th, 2024-20:37

In terms of decoration?

 
By: amanico : September 26th, 2024-20:58

Yes, but especially because they use the same nib as the Starwalker series.

 
By: aWtchslvr : September 27th, 2024-07:06

Ah I see, now. Thanks for your feedback, mon ami.

 
By: amanico : September 27th, 2024-08:11

And 3-2 for the Warhol!

 
By: amanico : September 26th, 2024-21:13

Another one which aught my attention, and the more affordable one from this list.

 
By: amanico : September 26th, 2024-20:58

3 for the Warhol / 1 for the Newson.

 
By: amanico : September 26th, 2024-21:12

My Sheaffer Nostalgia is too dear to my heart:

 
By: quattro_spirit : September 26th, 2024-18:21
I can’t choose any other fountain pen. ...  

Love your penmanship!

 
By: orahu : September 26th, 2024-19:26

Oh, thanks a lot!

 
By: quattro_spirit : September 26th, 2024-19:47
Being a lefty, this is the hand I write with.

Me too!

 
By: amanico : September 26th, 2024-21:11

Oh, nice coincidence!

 
By: quattro_spirit : September 27th, 2024-03:31
Fun fact: my mother was left-handed, my wife and her mother are too, as well as two of our three children…

I am the only one in the family. The black sheep. :)

 
By: amanico : September 27th, 2024-08:05

Like my right-handed son in our lefty family 😅

 
By: quattro_spirit : September 29th, 2024-16:15
But I hope you didn't live it as a curse; rather as a difference which makes you stronger!

Well, I lived it as a challenge, when I was a little boy, then as a pride and a strength.

 
By: amanico : September 29th, 2024-16:26

That's quite nice.

 
By: Thomas_3 : September 26th, 2024-19:53

Thank you!

 
By: quattro_spirit : September 26th, 2024-20:28

Too nice!

 
By: amanico : September 26th, 2024-21:11

Thanks!

 
By: quattro_spirit : September 27th, 2024-03:32

None of these pens really appeal to me, but since you asked, the Guggenheim (non-red).

 
By: orahu : September 26th, 2024-18:22

3 for the Warhol, 2 for the Newson, 1 for the Guggenheim. ( Same choice for me, too ).

 
By: amanico : September 26th, 2024-21:13

They look lovely, yet EnjoyTheMusic chooses.....

 
By: enjoythemusic : September 26th, 2024-18:36
..the Pelikan M800 Concerto with Beethoven's Ode To Joy in gold. Sure it is a bit crude visually, they also had problems making it... yet Ode To Joy won me over Enjoy the Music ...  

Another nice choice!

 
By: amanico : September 26th, 2024-21:14

Tomato soup. I have a can in the kitchen

 
By: brauner : September 26th, 2024-19:41

The Newson? :))))

 
By: amanico : September 26th, 2024-21:14

No, like this. Couldn't find mine

 
By: brauner : September 27th, 2024-15:31
...  

Damn! Does it write well? :)

 
By: amanico : September 27th, 2024-15:37

😉

 
By: brauner : September 27th, 2024-20:26

Hehehehe! ;)

 
By: amanico : September 27th, 2024-21:01

Another thing I collect is pens. 😬

 
By: Champthekid : September 26th, 2024-20:07

And problems, too. :)

 
By: amanico : September 26th, 2024-21:14

Lol. YES!

 
By: Champthekid : September 26th, 2024-21:18

Aaaaah, Passion!

 
By: amanico : September 26th, 2024-21:18

I will take any of the skeletons.

 
By: GWIS : September 26th, 2024-20:27
But ideally a Charlie Chaplin: Picture from Fountain Pen Network. ...  

I love this one, too!

 
By: amanico : September 26th, 2024-21:14

I have got this Warhol

 
By: penfriend : September 26th, 2024-20:48
the cheapest of the Warhol series but to me the best

Agreed! 4 for the Warhol, 2 for the Newson, 1 for the Guggenheim.

 
By: amanico : September 26th, 2024-21:15

Another for the Warhol

 
By: mblum3 : September 26th, 2024-22:43
But the Orient Express comes in 2nd for me. All of them great though!

5 for the Warhol, 2 for the Newson, 1 for the Guggenheim. The Orient Express is exquisite, indeed.

 
By: amanico : September 27th, 2024-08:10

Guggenheim Red

 
By: Moka-Tiger (Ron) : September 27th, 2024-01:50
I love red and flashy. I love fountain pens too. This red Guggenheim is quite flashy, so I'll take it. ha. The MP red is really nice too, but it resembles a Lamy IMO.

5 for the Warhol, 2 for the Newson, 2 for the Guggenheim, now. Yes, the MN Red is really cool, too.

 
By: amanico : September 27th, 2024-08:11

Beauties...

 
By: Cardio : September 27th, 2024-06:06
Here's mine inked today (yes: I belong to the generation that still use fp for note-taking) with a Nakaya case and clairefontaine notebook. Geeky. ...  

I write something around 6 to 10 000 pages per year... With a fountain pen, too. ;) Superb one you have!

 
By: amanico : September 27th, 2024-06:13

Lovely Omas with a Nakaya case!

 
By: GWIS : September 27th, 2024-07:28

+1

 
By: amanico : September 27th, 2024-08:11

Thank you

 
By: Cardio : September 27th, 2024-09:53
The case is, unfortunately, one of a few that can fit this version of the paragon. The pen may appear bulky but it is quite a dream to write with.

Which is the most important!

 
By: amanico : September 27th, 2024-15:54

Nice pen. You are not alone

 
By: Thomas_3 : September 27th, 2024-13:14
on the note taking aspect, I use a fountain pen for everything at the office, and at home.

Glad to know that this technology is still in use by a few!

 
By: Cardio : September 27th, 2024-14:02
This is real 'sustainable' technology--they last a life time!

Sure!

 
By: amanico : September 27th, 2024-15:38

Like me.

 
By: amanico : September 27th, 2024-15:38

I actually own the Mark Newsom design in black, lovely

 
By: aperna : September 27th, 2024-12:46
However, the Andy Warhol is tops

THAT is cool. 5 for the Warhol, 3 for the Newson, 2 for the Guggenheim

 
By: amanico : September 27th, 2024-15:39

From your list...

 
By: Goh : September 27th, 2024-13:41
it'll be Andy Warhol and Peggy Guggenheim 4810. But my favourites are PoA 2013 Ludovico Sforza 4810, and PoA 2012 Joseph II 888.

6 for the Warhol, 3 for the Newson, 3 for the Guggenheim. Any photo of those you mentioned?

 
By: amanico : September 27th, 2024-15:40

Pics from Montblanc:

 
By: Goh : September 27th, 2024-16:48
...  

The Joseph II is sublimissime.

 
By: amanico : September 27th, 2024-20:56

For the best writing experience, go with the bigger nib...

 
By: patrick_y : September 27th, 2024-13:49
The Grimm has a great combination of a lower weight body and a flexible "6" sized nib.

6 for the Warhol, 3 for the Newson, 3 for the Guggenheim, 1 for the Grimm.

 
By: amanico : September 27th, 2024-15:40

All great looking in there own way. The Andy W. Would be my first pick i think

 
By: Watchonthewrists : September 28th, 2024-07:31

7 for the Warhol, 3 for the Newson, 3 for the Guggenheim, 1 for the Grimm, now. These pens are so attractive and addictive!

 
By: amanico : September 28th, 2024-08:02

Warhol !!!!

 
By: bimbeano : September 30th, 2024-21:46
Although the Newson looks clean .. and I like clean ... but that's probably because I'm chaotic myself ...

8 for the Warhol, 3 for the Newson, 3 for the Guggenheim, 1 for the Grimm. That doesn't surprise me! :)))
