Even in this age of technology and e-mail, pens will remain an important part of personal communication. The Cartier writing instrument will continue to add a special element of beauty and luxury to those who own one. Consumers seem to be turning away from gold-colored products to other colors. Though Cross is undoubtedly the pen company currently most involved in electronics, Boss s thoughts on the pen industry in the year 2000 come back to old-fashioned pens. I feel gel ink roller balls will become the preferred way to write.
Gel ink gives writers the best of both ball pens and fountain pens in a better product than either.
You have to believe Robert Kronenberger when he says he never aimed to follow the crowd. Since the company s beginning, Krone pens have created a stir. Models like the Lincoln pen, which contain Lincoln s replicated DNA, and the Sir Edmund Hillary Mount Everest, in which a piece of stone from the mountain s summit is inlaid, caught the attention of a wide audience. Kronenberger s intent is to expand the market to include those who simply appreciate pens and those who are fans of the subjects that Krone pens commemorate. I want to continue to bring a broader base of clientele into the pen collecting market.
