There is something about pens and their exclusivity that makes them very alluring no matter how paperless and digital we all become. One can never show one’s superiority and richness with a boring old laptop or even with a seal. If you have a chic pen that costs loads, you can directly be seen as someone who can afford luxury.

That makes buying expensive pens something irresistible for most people who are well heeled. The S.T. Dupont Havana Fountain Pen is something that every rich guy must buy and it comes wrapped in Havana Brown Alligator Leather. Thanks to a palladium pen cap which has the alligator’s scales engraved it looks really expensive if you asked me.

It has been over 25 years that the Swedish actress who set the screen on fire during her prime, breathed her last. But she continues to be admired through the age of super-technology in films.

Ethereal beauty and inner strength marked her life as she fought through prejudices and emerged triumphant. Can one ever miss the memory of a Casablanca or Anastasia without her angelic face? We may be living in the age of emails and MS Word, sms texting and iPods. But the actress is a symbol of that lovely bygone era. Probably reminding one of the ethereal beauty of past, was what the brand intended to do, with the launch of superbly classic writing instruments in her name.

Mont Blanc has brought out a limited edition of writing instruments that pays homage to Ingrid Bergman.
The writing instruments major has launched three models after the most awarded actress by marking her six year stay at Italy. Among the models of luxury pens, Ingrid Bergman Woman ranges between $ 740 and $ 1,000. Another model named Ingrid Bergman Actress prices at $ 24,000. And Ingrid Bergman Diva is available for $120,200.

“The pen is mightier than the sword” wrote Edward Bulwer-Lytton. Little did he know that in future it will be ‘costlier’ also than most things! While it might disappoint our friends who have leftist inclination, the fact is, that pen, once considered a weapon of the intellectuals, has now become a status symbol. Well I am not going to crib or cry about that. If we can spend millions on our silly whims and fantasies, splurging on the good ol’ pen does make sense to me. ( to be taken with a pinch of salt!)

The new Maserati sterling silver pen is designed by none other than Armando Simoni, the true blue native of Italy. Only thing is, he makes a rinascimento in luxury goods! A total of 1,914 pens is all that the company is launching, in memory of the year when the company was established (1,914) as a status symbol.

The pens are available in roller and fountain both. The roller ball costs $2500 and the fountain one is appropriately priced at $2750.
