Montblanc’s Limited Edition Alexander Von Humboldt Pen

We have already come across many writing wonders, including the Krone’s Cluster pen, Issac Newton’s pen, and the world’s most expensive Mystery Masterpiece fountain pen. Here is another entrant to the family. The latest offering in the Montblanc’s Patron of Art series is a 2007 pen that is dedicated to the German naturalist and leading cultural patron Alexander von Humboldt. The pen is made of granadilla, a rare wood found in the southern hemisphere where Humboldt spend most of his time in scientific exploration. The pen is trimmed in sterling silver on the ends, clip, and band. The centre shows an abstract motif that point to the art of the native people Humboldt studied during his expeditions. The pen touts an 18K nib imprinted with a sextant and there are 4,810 pieces only for sale. You can own the masterpiece by paying US $2,552.
