Top 10 Best Luxury Pens In The World. Photo KnowInsiders

There is an endless selection of different pens. Ballpoints pens, fountain pens, small, large, retractable, and so on… As you probably know, Montblanc is one of the most, if not the most, prestigious and well-respected makers of luxury pens, and with that said, it is not strange that many of the pens in this list will be from Montblanc, but we’ll, of course, look at other brands too.

Pens also vary greatly and price. And when we are talking about ”luxury pens”, it’s not just about it being expensive. Because what you are getting when you buy a luxury pen is a writing instrument that is built to last for years, perhaps even for generations. It is built like a true work of art with the utmost care and attention to detail.

Just like your clothes, the accessories you use say a lot about you as a person and the impression you make when taking out a generic plastic 50 cent pen compared to an elegant luxury pen is huge.

Some of you might think this is a European brand, but it is actually American. It was founded back in 1912, and it has created some of the best luxury pens on the market ever since.

In the last few years, they have expanded their business to tablet holders, leather pen pouches, and ink cartridges. Legacy Heritage, Intensity, and Prelude are some of the best pens from their exquisite collection.

There are three types of pens available to buy:

The luxury fountain pen, which is the most expensive type of pen available. It utilizes fine nibs, which some companies make out of gold, that is perfect for making fine lines. This type of pen also has internal reservoirs or refillable converters, so you can cherish it for a long time.

The luxury ballpoint pen is pretty popular, because it is very easy to use. Some also have replaceable refills and twist or click-top action.

The luxury rollerball pen might not be as attractive as the fountain pens, but it is perfect for fans of smooth writing. They also come with disposable refills and have twist-on caps as well.

8. Aurora

This brand might not be as well-known as some of the others in this list, but their craftsmanship and quality should be noted. Founded in Italy in 1919, they have been manufacturing bespoke leather goods, paper, fountain pens, and various types of stationery.

Their Diamante limited edition diamond-studded pen, which is manufactured in Turin, in Northern Italy, was priced at a staggering $1.47 million, which made it one of the most expensive pens ever sold.

Encased in exotic alligator leather and featuring a gold monogrammed trim and nib, Louis Vuitton’s Cargo fountain pen is a combination of elegance and craftsmanship. The exclusive LV leak-proof patent stops the ink from being affected by changes in air pressure, making it the perfect option if you are working from your private jet.

5. Smythson Viceroy Fountain Pen

From the makers of luxury notebooks and fine leather goods, the Smythson pens are every bit as luxurious. All-silver with fine, etched lines down the body, it's sleek and ideal for the minimalist. This Viceroy fountain pen is made of solid silver and is available in a variety of nibs. We personally love the personalisation option, making this luxury pen a great gifting option.

Considerations to take into account when investing in an expensive pen:

Premium Materials – High-quality resins are an indication of luxury, but they might also include ebonite (hard rubber), celluloid (specialty material), or gold.

Finish and trim – The finish must be impeccable and of the highest quality, if not you might as well get a regular pen and call it a day. Engraving is always a good idea, and if there’s a pattern to the design, it should align with the barrel and cap. The finish should also be smooth to the touch, so you will enjoy using it as well.

Quality and price – The best quality luxury pens are built to last a lifetime, and prices can range anywhere from the mid-$100s upwards to more than $1000. As we said, a lifetime investment.

4. Montegrappa Cigar

A few years ago Montegrappa has come up with this beautifully designed cigar-inspired pen to add to their collection. Very similar to a real cigar, the light brown hue and pearlized streaks on this luxury pen resemble tobacco leaves very well.

This exquisite pen also features a sterling silver trim, an 18karat gold nib, and it is engraved with its filigree pattern. It is available as a rollerball as well, if you prefer this option.

3. S.T. Dupont

The French company that specializes in luxury goods such as handbags or lighters, has added luxury pens to its repertoire. One of their most sought after pens is called Mr. Bond Rollerball, a limited edition pen that was made in collaboration with James Bond.

It features the 007 logo across its lid, a pen worthy of a fictional spy. The rollerball is made of brass that comes in an S.T. Dupond box, so it makes a refined gift for a true Bond fan.

2. Breguet Classique

When creating its line of luxury writing instruments, Breguet collaborated with world-renowned pen manufacture Montegrapppa to pay homage to Breguet’s classic timepieces. The sterling silver body and cap of the Classique are decorated with the same engine-turned guilloche that adorns Breguet watch dials and the silver clip mimics the house’s signature hour hand. Resin accents in Breguet Blue adorn each end and the 18-karat rhodium-plated gold nib has the brand's iconic ‘B’ monogrammed at its centre.

1. Montblanc Heritage Rouge & Noir
