Now for a mere $19K (Silver. Gold considerably more) you too can have one of these. The best of both worlds in one!!!

The Caran d'Ache 1010 Limited Edition.

Caran d’Ache’s 1010 Limited Edition fountain pen is a tribute to honor the Swiss watchmaking industry.

The inspiration for the name “1010” comes from “Ten minutes past ten (10:10),” the moment when the hands on a watch dial are rightly balanced.

The body of the pen recalls the delicate gears of fine timepieces and is made of rhodium-coated silver. The clip looks like a watch hand, then there is a decorative balance wheel mounted between two rubies under a sapphire dome. Plus there are tiny tick marks around the barrel. The luxury pen even has a piston pump set with a ruby and a sapphire crystal dome at the bottom tip.

The pen is presented in a black lacquered box along with a raw glass bottle containing blue-black ink and a palladium-plated silver stopper. Each limited edition of 500 is individually numbered. Price: $19,000 (and up, depending on your choice of rhodium-coated silver or gold).

2careless · 7 November 2009, 04:18 PM

Well, where are the dial and hands?

Or, it has a fake movement?...

The dial I haven't found yet, but the hand is the clip of the pen.

Did you see the crown??

No how, no way, could I ever imagine myself spending 19K on something made from silver, it had better be 18kt or platinum. Regardless of the workmanship, silver is a semi-precious metal. Richard, I hope you're not getting any ideas or I wouldn't blame your adoring wife for slugging you.

Very nice.

Taffi Abernathy · 7 November 2009, 04:51 PM

Hi Eddie,

So nice to see you. For starters, that's a lovely pen. You need motivation to use it? Ok, try this on for size . . . how about agreeing to an "assignment" that you will take it out of the drawer and write with it sometime this weekend. At the end of the weekend, post a picture of what you have written. Will you agree to this?

Taffi Abernathy · 7 November 2009, 04:54 PM

Boy, did I screw this up royally. I hope a mod comes by and takes this out.

Yume-sama · 7 November 2009, 04:55 PM

Yeah, they best be making it in gold if they want my $19k!

My fault Faith, I posted in the wrong thread and then moved my post.

You can edit your posts or just delete them. Just blame me.

I change my original post to 'Very nice'. Hey! I may be dumb but I'm not stupid.

luv

So what's it gonna be, little mister, do you agree to pull your pen out of "storage" try it and post something you've written?

Nope. Not I. I just thought it was unique.

But the GOLD one, now that is a different consideration.

R1@160@alltimes · 7 November 2009, 10:48 PM

Beautiful pen but I would rather buy another watch (with real movement) if I had 19K to burn.

Thanks for sharing this treasure.

Skullring · 7 November 2009, 11:02 PM

Very nice.

2th Dr · 7 November 2009, 11:34 PM

Beautiful pen! But as already been said, WAY to much for silver!

iSellJerseyShore · 8 November 2009, 01:40 AM

That is pretty crafty, but I am with Faith.... That had better be WG for 19K not Sterling Silver!!

Neat find!
