Daring dragons and calligraphy-minded cockerels who would opt for a truly elegant writing tool over a banal ballpoint any day of the week will find Montblanc’s new Chinese Zodiac-themed fountain pens especially appealing. One particular model – the Journey Among Dragons fountain pen, part of the Signs and Symbols collection – comes in a limited edition of just 88 pieces and costs a fairly impressive HK$115,300. Its striking design features a dragon emerging from the water, engraved by hand on a sterling silver cap, as a nod to one of Asian mythology’s most abiding embodiments.
