This is the ballpoint companion to the Souverän fountain pen counterpart. First introduced in 1955, soon after ballpoint technology was developed worldwide, Pelikan’s clicky ballpoint pen, true to form, is reserved, conservative, but chic without being ostentatious. When in the marbled finishes it looses any pretension and gives grandfather vibes and nostalgia which Choosing Keeping is very partial too. A great candidate for a prop on a postwar film set, this lesser known piece of stationery is really nice.
