The Meisterstück "Around the World in 80 Days" collection is inspired by Jules Verne's famous adventure novel. The Solitaire Doué Classique fountain pen, adorned with polished precious dark blue lacquer and a metal cap, retraces the epic journey of Mr.
Fogg and Passepartout. Embarking on the final leg of their journey from Yokohama to London via the United States, the duo crosses the vast American continent by train. Immerse yourself in the meticulous details: a train elegantly laser-engraved on the cap, a safety chain motif on the cone, echoing a crucial moment when Passepartout detaches the train from the locomotive to save the crew attacked by the Sioux.
The cap design recalls the pressure valves and swirling smoke of the locomotive, while the clip features a red lacquered playing-card heart, symbolizing the union between Phileas Fogg and Princess Aouda. In addition, the playing-card symbols represent Fogg's bold wager to complete the journey in just 80 days. The top of the cap bears the journey's timeline in relief: 36 days from Yokohama to London, for a total of 80 days around the world.
This writing instrument is enhanced by a hand-crafted 18-carat gold nib engraved with the dates 14/11 and 21/12 – a reminder of Mr. Fogg's departure from Yokohama on 14 November and his ambitious plan to return to the London club before 21 December to win the wager. It is also adorned with a depiction of a hot-air balloon, in reference to Jules Verne's first adventure novel.
