I am really starting to like these pens just as much as i like watches

, what do you guys think of this pen Hublot came out with?

Wow! Thanks for posting this one. I was not aware of it but just did a brief google and it looks like a really interesting pen!

Titanium and ceramic and what looks like a filling system similar to Parkers old and wonderful Vacumatic. I love that it has a custom filling system instead of the Standard CC system (nothing wrong with that, it is one of my favorites!) and the 18k nib finish is wonderful.

I would love to handle it and give it a go and for a limited edition the price is not bad at all, especially with that intriguing filling system! I notice as well like a lot of fine quality pens it has an ebonite feed so all the ingredients are there for a quality fountain pen.
I did find this review of the pen.

Holy mother of god!

It's certainly...unique...but is it practical? In my experience, most people like lighter pens since the extra weight can be uncomfortable. I hope this thing isn't too heavy.

That ink-bottle sure looks interesting, though. I'd love something like that.

lol, thank you. I was looking through hublots online catlog and found it. ;). Did anybody find the price?

Ian, gave us a link to a review which tells you how much it cost in Swiss francs and what materials are in the pen body.....2200 (CHF)swiss francs and the material is black titanium and black ceramic.....

1000ftSub · 22 April 2010, 02:41 AM

lol okay

JBat · 22 April 2010, 02:50 AM

2200 Swiss francs equals ~$2055 USD. A pricey pen!

Though not too bad for a limited edition with custom filler and the special materials used

Beautiful pen. I would love to have one. But, $2,000? Not sure I would ever pay that for a pen.

But I really do love that pen

Indeed, but thats just Hublot infact, i don't think Hublot sells anything under $1000 dollars. Just couple weeks ago i priced the ceramic bracelet for my Big Bang and just a bracelet from Hublot is $4500 dollars. lol

You're right, Ian, but there's so much cool stuff to be had for less than a grand. I think I'll stay in that range for a while.

Lion · 23 April 2010, 11:22 AM

John, I agree there are plenty of other pens to satisfy my cravings before purchasing a $2000.00 USD pen!!!
