The Mont Blanc Red Gold Metal Pen collection draws on the opulent appeal of gold, richly reinforced in the advertising image below.
That the Mont Blanc Red Gold Metal Pen collection tugs on the enduring appeal of gold is unmistakable.
The ballpoint pen has a twist mechanism, has a red gold plated clip, red gold-plated mat black lacquered surface with diamond-cut lines, made in Germany.
The rich and deep color of the pen ensures it matches well with various brown leather products and accessories, and that on its own it exudes luxury in a sophisticated way.
Indeed the red gold-plated diamond-cut lines shimmer as they reflect light in various angles, as if the pen glows. I'm quite sure this radiant effect won't be achieved by a solid red gold-plated finish. That would seem to me too brash. And personally I don't enjoy the feel of a solid metal barrel, especially when writing long letters or signing many power documents, as my fingers tend to slip down the pen after a while.
Many images on the net don't do justice to the pen. This picture is the "catalog" image, and it looks very pale, hardly appearing as red gold.
One more thing I like about the Mont Blanc Starwalker Red Gold Metal Ballpoint pen is the metal barrel fittings, which gives an added sense of a well-built and long-lasting pen. Many pens, Mont Blanc included, have precious resin barrels, all the way to the threaded ends. I feel these can get worn over the years, unlike what you have here, on Limited Edition pens like the Mont Blanc Carlo Collodi and Thomas Mann Writers Edition pens, or the Mont Blanc Starwalker Black Mystery lacquer pen
The Mont Blanc Starwalker Red Gold Metal Ballpoint Pen and Carlo Collodi Limited Edition Ballpoint Pen have metal barrel fittings that are unscrewed to replace the Refill, and add to the overall solid construction of these well-designed pens.
How much is the pen? What's the price in Singapore? And can I get a discount? Read on.
Before that, let me say that gold has been highly valued from the early days of man. In the very first book of the Bible, the second chapter, gold is already mentioned.
A river watering the garden flowed from Eden; from there it was separated into four headwaters. The name of the first is the Pishon; it winds through the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold. (The gold of that land is good; aromatic resin and onyx are also there.) (Genesis 2:10-12 NIV)
Gold was also quite abundant, and an example was that gold was used to make shields in a number of instances recorded in the Bible.
He carried off the treasures of the temple of the Lord and the treasures of the royal palace. He took everything, including all the gold shields Solomon had made. (1 Kings 14:26 NIV)
Gold can be a gift presented back to God, as the Magi from the East did before the baby Jesus.
When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. (Matthew 2:10, 11 NIV)
Gold can also be turned into an idol that can lead us into many troubles. We are strictly instructed not to do this.
Then the Lord said to Moses, “Tell the Israelites this: ‘You have seen for yourselves that I have spoken to you from heaven: Do not make any gods to be alongside me; do not make for yourselves gods of silver or gods of gold. (Exodus 20:22, 23 NIV)
Now, equipped with these insights, you can go ahead and buy this Mont Blanc, while ensuring you use it in a God-honoring way.
How much is it in Singapore? About SGD 1100 in a Mont Blanc boutique. It's more expensive than some Limited Edition pens, and even the special edition Tribute to Mont Blanc white lacquer pen.
If you know the right shops, you can get up to 15% or 20% off, a hefty savings of more than SGD 150.
That's it for now.
