Breitling Watch Face and Parts Rollerball Ink Pen

Getting into the watch manufacturing business in the mid-1880s was no easy feat. Switzerland was experiencing the worst part of a long recession. Yet, despite the economic difficulty, social unrest and uncertainty about the future, 24-year-old Léon Breitling stayed true to his vision of creating instruments that could measure, divide and master time.  This is how the Breitling brand was born. With passion and enthusiasm, this inventive founder created the useful, functional, reliable and sturdy timepieces we’ve come to know and love today.

This pen blank is made with beautiful blue dyed Paua Abalone shell as the background.  Paua Abalone shell is harvested and cleaned and the most beautiful part of the shell is used in jewelry and other applications that call for a stunning iridescent material. The Paua is cut into thin strips, then ever so delicately each strip is meticulously hand-applied onto the pen tube. It is then cast in clear polyester resin to enhance and protect its beauty.

The gears are intricately laid over the shell after the high end watch face has been positioned. Such a stunning one of a kind beauty.

When it comes to writing comfort, few pens can compete with the rollerball pen. The Junior Anthony Rollerball Pen is a quality writing instrument with the right amount of heft, a screw-on and postable cap and with a gold and chrome finish.  This pen uses a Schmidt style ink cartridge which provides the same beautiful ink flow as a fountain pen, but without the mess.  This ink glides over the paper.  Refills and replacements are available where office supplies are sold. 

Optional gift box available for $5.
