What looks like a De Bethune inspired dial of the Styljoux Le Calibre pen with the blue hand indicating the center of balance

The Styljoux Le Calibre Pen With Watch Technology And A Real Dial

May 7, 2016/3 Comments/in Highlights, Writing instruments/by Nancy Olson

Styljoux unveiled another twist on writing instruments with the new Le Calibre collection, whose sleek look belies what’s going on inside the barrel. The limited-edition pens with sapphire crystal barrels incorporate a weight adjustment mechanism that engages by simply twisting the ring on top of the barrel and effectively changing the center of gravity to the taste of the pen user. Wow!

Etat Libre d’Orange: The MB&F Of The Perfume World

May 2, 2016/0 Comments/in Fashion & Grooming/by Martin Green
