Elegant Maserati Pens

Maserati Pen luxury Elegant Maserati PensSearching for a stylish luxury pen? Grab yourself a sterling-silver Maserati-branded pen. Designed by Armando Simoni, the OMAS (Officina Meccanica Armando Simoni, named after its founder) is a standing evidence of the luxury that Italy is famous for.

The Maserati pen comes in roller ball ($2,500) and fountain ($2,750) styles. Each features a Maserati trident and Maserati signature fender vents etched into the body and cap. There are going to be 1914 pens (1914 is the year when the company was established) : 1,200 of the fountain pens and 714 roller balls are to be made.

I would love to show off this elegant pen in my office, but I have got the distinction of being the world’s foremost loser of pens. I buy pens by the dozen, and they disappear at the rate of one per day so I think I am going to keep buying those luxury BIC Pens.
