The pen is exquisite albeit being very expensive. More expensive than warrants I think, but the concealed settings and mastery of craftsmanship looks incredible.
You know, you can complain about the excessive use of stones, how it can feed the children, cure aids, or other banal cliche farms found in these fora, but the fact of the matter is this: This pen is the flagship model celebrating the centennials of two renouned companies. Handmade with finest materials, it is impeccable, a work of art. I can guarantee you that these will be purchased by true purists of the art of writing instruments and not by born-rich libertines. When was the last time Paris Hilton bought a Renoir ?
"Why" ? (Aside from being an investment) For the same reason museums and benefactors spend millions on paintings - owning a unique piece of history and appreciating (or letting others) the mastery of it. Hardly a case of self indulgence.
