Montblanc
John Lennon Limited Edition 70
Celebrating the musician's 70th birthday, and echoing his most remembered solo hit, the word 'Imagine', rendered in a skeleton of white gold, encircles the pen. The transparent precious resin on the cap and barrel recalls Lennon's trademark round blue glasses; a colour that's repeated in the sapphire set on the clip alongside three diamonds that mark out the song's chord. The pen's cone is lacquered to resemble a piano keyboard, and, on this 70-piece edition (HK$2.08 million), the 18K gold nib bears Lennon's self-portrait signature.
Dunhill
Sentryman Explorer II
The barrel conceals a little torch; a reference to the 'bag light' Alfred Dunhill created in the early 1900s for his wife. Three interchangeable nibs provide the choice of 18-carat gold fountain nib, pencil or ballpoint. Made from gunmetal grey PVD-coated carbon fibre, and limited to 150 globally, each pen is priced at HK$26,200 and comes in a black lacquered box.
