Their very design, aside from being the epitome of sophistication in their polished silver and metal casings, exudes utmost functionality and smart engineering. Indeed, using a Cross fountain pen can give you advantages you never thought a pen could provide.
1. Cross fountain pens provide flexibility and options. Why debate between gold and silver when you can have your choice among gun metal, platinum, slate, lacquer, and garnet as well? A Cross fountain pen can suit you in the boardroom, when you're signing your first "real" job contract, or inking your property documents. For example a Cross Silver Pinnacle fountain pen can take you from serious black-tie affairs (you never know when you'll be mistaken for a Hollywood hunk and need to sign autographs) to a business deal-sealing lunch. You can be assured that there is a Cross fountain pen to match your personality and style. If you're thinking of getting married, you can even get a pen to match your motif. Your bride'll certainly be thrilled to give you your just rewards.
2. Cross fountain pens give you an air of understated elegance. Walk down the street and spot people whom you think possess style and class. Chances are the ones you picked are not wearing head-to-toe designer outfits. Look closely; it could be the punchy tie, the diamond studs in their ears, or some other small item added to a casual ensemble that makes it different from anybody else. A Cross fountain pen can give that classy personal touch -- wear like like you would a boutonniere or an expensive watch. Don't treat it like a pen; make it a part of your personal style and see how people'll look your way.
3. Cross fountain pens are practical. You could be raising your eyebrows now. Fountain pens are rarely practical right? The inks runs, the nib gets damaged, and soon your several-hundred-buck pen is a goner. But not with Cross fountain pens. Cross provides nib replacements while the design and ink cap prevents the ink from running. Cross fountain pen nib replacements can be had in the same finish as your original nib -- it's almost as if you got a new pen for a lesser price. Don't worry about nib sizes, Cross has it all standardized. But if you're still worried, you can take your Cross fountain pen with you to a retail outlet and have it fitted. Also Cross fountain pen ink are not prone to running and with affordable ink refills, you will be using your pen for a long time -- a worthy investment.
