Montblanc is ushering within the Lunar New 12 months with one in every of its most luxurious writing devices thus far. Named The Earthly Dragon, the fountain pen celebrates one of the legendary creatures in East Asian tradition, the dragon — representing luck, wealth, knowledge, and energy.

Harnessing that fortune, the instrument options an Au 750 white gold cap, a hand-engraved dragon set with treasured stones, and a stable champagne-tone gold cone with a Tsavorite. The gold nib bears a tremendous engraving of an emblem standing for Fu Xi, the eighth son of the dragon. Your entire cap high is made out of stable gold with a Montblanc diamond crown. Restricted to eight examples, Montblanc’s Earthly Dragon is priced at $168,000 USD.
