The Pen of the Year 2008 by Graf von Faber-Castell bears a unique detail, the world's smallest parquet of finest Indian satinwood. The design was inspired by Countess Ottilie's private salon in the Faber-Castell castle, which has 100-year-old panelling in luxurious East Indies satinwood. The pen's herringbone pattern comes from the Countess's writing desk. There are no fewer than 84 Satinwood rectangles on the pen and they are all individually handcrafted The barrel is repeatedly polished and varnished. The numbered edition is crowned by a chessboard-facted citrine gemstone. It can be found for £1840 at Pens from Heaven.

Marlen Astrologie Pen

We've been covering a lot of cool astrology-related stuff lately. The simple, stylized glyphs work so well as design elements. Marlen's Astrologie fountain pen does more than display the zodicac signs; it also celebrates the history of astrology with a function that shows the planetary hours. A quick turn of the titanium sleeve shows off the planet glyphs associated with the day and hour. I'm not sure how useful this is in our modern age but it is certainly cool. The pen also has a blue titanium barrel and a sterling cap and 18K gold Astrologie fountain pen nib engraved with an strolabe design. The pen is limited to 488 pieces worldwide and has a list price of $3,000.

The Waterman Serenite pen has a beautiful curved shape that echoes the days of writing quills. The new blue lacquer version has a solid silver ring designed to look like melting ice. The cap has a solid silver clip like a needle and the 18K gold nib is overlaid with rhodium. The pen is available as a fountain pen or a rollerball. The pen stands upright open or closed. The fountain pen costs $720 and the rollerball is $595 from Fountain Pen Hospital. The pens are available for May delivery.

Revolution Pen

This unique object is the Revolution pen from Parafernalia. The pen, which is hand-made with 31 miniaturized metal components and a push mechanism, has been exhibited at the Modern Art Museum in New York. The pen has been available as a ballpoint or a mechanical pencil for a while but can now also be purchased in a fountain pen model for $90. It may look odd but the triangular shape is actually said to be quite comfortable to write with.
