In a digitised world that’s constantly evolving and growing faster than ever, we’ve unconsciously replaced certain items, such as stationary, with digitised alternatives that are better suited to our fast-paced lives. That being said, our digital lifestyles can also prompt us to better appreciate the fine craftsmanship that goes into items such as fountain pens, which can help us slow down and appreciate the finer things in life.
These are STYLE’s top picks of luxury fountain pens that will surely inspire you to write a letter or improve your penmanship.
1. Cartier

The Crocodile Décor from Cartier features two diamond-encrusted gold reptiles crawling towards each other along the length of the 18k yellow gold body. Along with a crystal stand, every aspect of this fountain pen screams opulence, priced at US$114,000 (HK$895,000).
2. Lalique

Joining forces with legendary name Caran D’Ache has inspired a pen of light and shade. The Crystal & Diamonds edition has a shapely white gold body contrasting with a ruthenium cap, both set with a total of 340 diamonds, and comes with a crystal ink holder for an extra touch of flair. Price upon request.

4. Harry Winston

Taking inspiration from majestic birds of prey, the Falconry Legacy fountain pen matches with a pair of cufflinks with the same badging, sharing also the emerald-cut diamond detailing. Price upon request.
