F. P. Journe fountain and rollerball pens

I know that these have been out since 08 but I have not heard much if anything about them. Anyone have any insight on them and the price. I really like the way they are made cap-less, and the blue is stunning in photos. Surely someone here has one or has handled one. I doubt I will ever afford one, but hey one can dream right?

Yeah... so...! Wow!

If their pens are anything like their timepieces they should absolutely ROCK!

I did a bit of research and could find no pricing. Lots of nice photos out there though!

Let us know if you can conjure up any information. In the meantime I will be looking on this end.

:)

Yep seems like a really cool pen but like you I can't find conclusive pricing. I have seen anywhere from 11k to 35k new, but only in stipulations.

I would bide my time and wait.

At some point one of these will show up somewhere either here on the classifieds, Ebay, Green Board or Go Pens and then you can snag it.

As from what I understand ... only 300 of them were made, those options seem to me to be the best options.

Totally agree and that is my intention but any "reckon" I can do before hand I want to do. For me to get to a boutique would be for hell to freeze over.

This set was at auction last year with estimate of CHF3,000-5,000. Don't know if sold or at what price.

That would be a bargain for a set I would think. Too bad I didn't know about it and the set wasn't blue.

I can't believe I didn't know about this website.

Thank you for sharing it! Sweet!
