Keywords: Pens and Writing Instruments

Romain Jerome captured our attention with their Titanic DNA collection of luxury timepieces, and has yet again returned to impress us with a collection of exquisite writing instruments inspired by the story of the doomed vessel.

Each fountain pen is crafted with a multitude of precious materials such as palladium, stainless steel or gold, and brass to flaunt aesthetic elements of the Titanic’s intricate anatomy.

With the innovative inclusion of a sapphire glass porthole, one can see how a wheelhouse steering gear draws ink into the pen nib through a propeller.

Every pen barrel features a ring which combines rusting steel from the Titanic, and steel from the Harland & Wolff shipyard where it was built—preserving a rare piece of history encapsulated in a single pen.

Conceptualized by Jean-Pierre and Benjamin Lepinem, together with Romain Jerome CEO Yvan Arpa, only 88 pieces of each riveting design will be sold.
