There are many watch lovers who also have an appreciation of fine writing instruments. In fact, most of the watch magazines run articles on pens quite regularly. We particularly like the Caran d'Ache and Yard O'led brands. One quintessentially English, the other pure Swiss precision, both refined and elegant. In fact, it was interesting to see Giles Brandreth lament on the demise of the written word the other evening, we can only agree with him. Emails, texts and even blogs are fine but nothing beats the written word. In 100 years time how many important letters will appear at auction ? There is nothing like a letter or note, written on good quality paper, with a good pen......
Caran D'Ache
