Everybody is jumping on to the crypto bandwagon and make use of the Bitcoin brand. I see no connection between this pen and Bitcoin, except that you can purchase it using Bitcoin or Ethereum. If the brand belonged to a company and was copy-righted, they couldn't pull off a stunt like this.

I would much rather partner up with a hardware wallet manufacturer like Trezor or Ledger to develop a quality Pen/Hardware wallet

combination. This will be a very desirable gift for any Crypto currency enthusiast. {Most of these wallets support many Alt coins} A

pen with a Bitcoin logo is not my idea for a special gift.  {especially a over-priced gold plated pen}

I am quite sure that a lot of the physical crypto items collectors will like this, and maybe even consider purchasing one. It has a limited supply, which is also something people look forward to, and especially the first few lowest serial numbers. I personally wouldn't really buy this since I am not that much into collecting anything, but if we're talking about luxury items, I am looking to get a small BTC symbol in 24k gold either custom made, or ordered from a store. That's something I have always wanted to have, and actually wouldn't mind paying some decent money for.

limited edition pens like this reputable brand is gonna be definitely a
collectors item. I like this project its very novel but very interesting
from a collectors viewpoint. It means that top brands are looking at
bitcoin in a different light.



It looks to me like they are going to be taking payment in BTC also >

Me like Bitcoin Pen. I am interest.

It seems to be a great investment with the current prices and discount. It costs $1250 now and is expected to be $2500 at retail, so it might be worth it to buy one just to sell it later. I like it, although I'd be afraid to carry it around with me. If I were to use it it would be only at home which in a way defeats the purpose of having all that BTC bling on it.

haha, i don't really understand how exactly it's related to bitcoin except that it has printed bitcoin logo on its pen?

Interesting. Even such an old company, which seemed to be conservative, decided to create a limited series of its production and connect it to bitcoin. It's a sign that people are ready to accept bitcoin in their lives

Think I just saw Chronoswiss also releasing a "crypto watch" series... same "token sale" model as Arcona, it would seem. I never actually really knew that this luxury item industry existed until I arrived in Brunei in 2013. Tax-free income there, lots of disposable income, and almost everyone collecting shoes, handbags, motorbikes, watches.

Granted, they all seem to appreciate in value due to collectibility, but then no one actually buys it until the original owner is dead

Maybe a hundred years from now, we'll find one of these Bitcoin Pens or Bitcoin Watches in some rich aristrocrat museum somewhere. Well. Not us. Our... descendants.
