Fashionistas appreciate the asymmetric diamond layouts in their watches. That assured, they will definitely fall for the one attempted by Montblanc. Come January and the watch world will witness the all new Star Pluie d’Etoiles luxury watch for women. And from the looks of it, one can safely expect something truly extraordinary. The design is such that the case and the dial work in synergy for an overall harmonious effect.

The frame holding the watch has been made from 18 carat white gold and is 36mm wide. Several baguette cut diamonds line the bezel on the outside while the inside has been done up with what looks like to be round cut diamonds. And mind you, all of these 298 dimonds are top Wesselton.

Montblanc recently brought out a limited edition pen in memory of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, the father f the Indian nation. He is widely believed to be the proponent of Ahinsa, which is the theory of non violence through which he is said to have helped Indians achieve their freedom.

The Montblanc pen comes with Gandhi’s image etched on the nib and the pen itself is carved out of a 18 carat white gold material. The image is engraved with a 18 carat yellow gold wire. The limited edition pens cost $25,000 and many Gandhi followers did not like the idea of Gandhi’s image being etched on a luxurious pen as he was against such “worldly pleasures”.

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.
