You can see the correlation between fine watchmaking and penmaking.

Excellent watches........I mean pens

I'm waiting for these to be made available. Very similar to the Simpoles here, also by Conway Stewart.

About $2K for the silver. A lot more for the gold.

Those are also Henry Simpole's work - he uses CS bodies for all his pens.
Bryant just decided to order some Chatsworths with other colour bodies.


edited to add www.henrysimpole.com go and look at the full story of Henry's work.
