The makers of the world’s most magical writing instruments salute one of history’s best-loved movie franchises with the open-edition Eye of Sauron. Available in fountain pen, rollerball and ballpoint modes, a handmade, modern design reflects the New Line Cinema trilogy’s profound impact on the 21st century’s pop-cultural landscape. The dark terrain of Mordor is represented by intense blackness: a smooth, all-over satin-matte finish is underscored by black ruthenium-coated hardware of stainless steel and brass. A replica One Ring made from gold-plated brass can be removed from the cap and used as a good- luck charm. The Dark Lord’s fiery Tengwar inscription is etched into its surface. Sauron’s all-seeing eye never sleeps. Applied to the pocket-clip in orange Super-LumiNova® enamel, it absorbs energy through the day to glow through the night. PACKAGING
