The Write Stuff: Gray & Sons’ Selection of Luxury Pens and Writing Instruments

Many people often associate the world of luxury with unnecessary excess. Some however, find intrigue and wonder in the elements of beauty, refinement, and class. When it comes to the accessories we obsess over, those of us that get it find that it’s all about the details. When you spend a lifetime working your way to the top, slaving away, burning the midnight oil, and making sacrifices each step of the way, every success is noteworthy.

But when the time comes to mark that ultimate achievement, the one that changes everything, the deal that catapults you to greater heights and maybe even adds some weight to your pocketbook, you can’t just sign your name with the crumby old Bic sitting in the corner. No, this calls for something special, something memorable that will always remind you or even that important client of what was accomplished that day.

Just over half a century ago Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964. What most people don’t know is that he reportedly used over 75 pens to complete the task. Why? It’s because these items essentially become treasured artifacts associated with a special moment in time. They do more than just sign names on dotted lines. They mark a special point in history and are meant to be cherished for a lifetime. Even though you may not be changing national policy, you’re still the author of your own story. That’s when a high quality fountain or ballpoint pen becomes the perfect choice.

It’s also intriguing to realize the true value of a high-end fountain pen. It’s a different level of craftsmanship that can often go overlooked by most people. The heft, the performance, and build quality are just perfectly balanced. Many of the top manufacturers like Montblanc, Tibaldi, and Montegrappa use only the finest materials like white gold, sterling silver, platinum, and even palladium. They develop limited edition pieces that are numbered and some have even been known to appreciate in value. Factors like history, scarcity, and materials all play a part in a pen’s investment potential and Gray & Sons has no shortage of these fine instruments.

Another great advantage is the fact that these pieces just make for the perfect signing gift. If your day-to-day involves tackling larger than life deals and contracts that just aren’t for the faint of heart, you’d do well to look into these magnificent works of art. It’s simple. If you aren’t keeping a few of these on hand for your clients and partners, you’re doing it wrong. It’s the perfect touch when the time comes to seal the deal.
