The story

For years, the title of the most expensive pen in the world was held by the Fulgor Nocturnus by the Florentine house Tibaldi: a fountain pen set with 945 black diamonds and 123 rubies, designed according to the divine proportion. Only one piece was ever produced. It was sold for $8 million (≈ €7.4 million) at a charity auction in Shanghai in 2010 (source: https://luxurylaunches.com/other_stuff/take-a-look-at-the-worlds-most-expensive-pen-it-costs-8-million-and-is-studded-with-black-diamonds-and-rubies.php).

Most Expensive Brand now claims this title — differently.

Ours is not a jewel-pen. It is the Meisterstück Solitaire 149 by Mont Blanc — the emblematic piece of a German house founded in Hamburg in 1906, whose nib has signed some of the most important acts of the twentieth century, including the peace treaty between Israel and Jordan in 1994. Body in solid 18-carat gold, nib in 18-carat gold, cap crowned with the six-pointed white star — the House's emblem, a stylized representation of Mont Blanc seen from above. Not a single diamond. Our piece is engraved "MEB" on the cap by Mont Blanc's master engravers, as a token of cross-authentication — German house, French signature. Not a single stone. The form, the material, the German precision.

The previous record was a jewel-pen. Ours is a writing instrument — the one that has signed history. The price is not in the material. It is in the promise: to be, in its category, the most expensive object in the world. Nothing less.
