Fountain pen Meisterstück Around the World in 80 Days Solitaire LeGrand

The collection Meisterstück Around the World in 80 Days is inspired by the famous adventure novel by Jules Verne. The Solitaire LeGrand fountain pen, dressed in precious metal, retraces the epic journey of Mr. Fogg and Passepartout. Embarking on the final leg, from Yokohama to London via the United States, the duo crosses the vast American continent by train. Dive into the details: a train elegantly laser-engraved on the cap, a safety chain pattern on the cone, reflecting a crucial moment when Passepartout detaches the train from the locomotive to save the crew attacked by Sioux. The design of the cap and body represents the pressure valves and the smoke spirals of the locomotive, while the clip is adorned with a red lacquered heart, symbolizing the union between Phileas Fogg and Princess Aouda. Furthermore, the maps represent Phileas Fogg's bold wager to complete the journey in just 80 days. The top of the cap bears the embossed timeline of the journey: 36 days from Yokohama to London, for a total of 80 days around the world. This writing instrument is enhanced with an 18K gold nib handcrafted and marked 14/11 and 21/12, recalling Mr. Fogg's departure from Yokohama on November 14 and his ambitious plan to return to the London club before December 21 to win the wager. It is also adorned with a representation of a hot air balloon, referencing Jules Verne's first adventure novel.
