At about the same time my maternal grandfather gifted me a Longines Equestrian Collection fountain pen. Having the ability to write purposefully as one does with a pen that highlights mistakes was a Rolex Day-Date necessary skill and one I wasnt Hublot Big Bang cut out for at 14. My connection to pens lay dormant for a decade until a calligraphy pen landed in my hands.Now I collect pens too. I like memories and the slow hand.
