Which of these Models do you already own?
2 Lamy 2000 Fine and Medium. Performs better than my Montegrappas or Viscontis
@@karlgozo thanks for sharing your experience Karl
MB 149 with a medium nib and the Lamy 2000 black and medium nib.
montblac meisterstück and pelikan souverän
I have the M1000 and of course the 149. Both are wonderful pens made to last a lifetime.
I’m new to the game.
So far, I love Lamy Safari fountain pens.
I have three of them.
They write like a dream, look great, feel very comfortable, and don’t cost too much.
I started with Lamy fountain pens because I stumbled across and purchased a Lamy Safari mechanical pencil more than 25 years ago that I still use as my primary mechanical pencil. Wonderful products.
I've just started into the fountain pen journey! And thanks to Samuel, because your videos were the reason that made me fall in love about this pens! I have two, for now.
The first one is a LAMY SAFARI COZY STRAWBERRY. And the second one is a WATERMAN GRADUATED that my dad gave to me as a gift (he also collects).
I want to buy the Otto Hutt Design 04. I think its pretty beautiful.
Cheers from Brazil!
Joao thank you for your comment and sharing this. It’s so nice to read!
Thanks for sharing about these great pens. I currently have the Lamy 2000 and MB 149. Both are superb everyday smooth writers for me. I especially love my Lamy. Simple clean design and light. It is so discrete i can just leave it on my office desk without worry of anyone taking it. Cheers :)
Thank you for sharing this Dear!
I totally agree with your choices! They are some of my favorite pens too!
Glad you like these too! Thanks for letting us know!
I have all of these except the Otto Hutt and hardily agree with you that these are great pens to own and write with.
Thank you very much for sharing your opinion!
I have several models of Pelikan pens, from the iconic 212 to the M400, I also have the Lamy 2000 with an OM nib. I also enjoy several vintage Parker, Moore, Esterbrook, and Schaeffer pens.
Thank you for sharing this John! Great pieces! 😍
Those are 5 beautiful pens. Such a nice selection of different looks, while remaining true to German heritage.
I have a very high opinion of Faber-Castell steel nibs; it would be wonderful some day to try out a GvFC gold nib.
Thanks for your comment Ichiro. Glad you like the selection. I have to agree on the steel nib of Faber. They’re very good too.
Love my Otto Hutt DesignC!
That’s another top piece bro. I love mine too 😍
Montblanc 149 is just too good. Classic. Love it.
Good video
Absolutely yes!
From this list I only own a Lamy 2000. It is my favorite pen from my collection. It looks great and writes beautifully.
Thanks for sharing this! 🙏🏼
My M1000 & 149 are in my piquadro Nicolai 2 pen case.
These are my top tier fountain pens because of the writing experience and are above sailor king of pen, pilot custom urushi, montegrappa ducale grande emperador and waterman Edson which I also own and that's saying something.
Thank you for the excellent presentation, Samuel Naldi!
Thanks for watching Howard!
Currently it happens to be that I am currently using the Graf von Faber-Castell classic.
What I love about the 2000 is that it's so surprisingly light to hold in the hand. You can write with it without any effort.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 thanks for sharing!
how is the ergonomics of gvfc?
Samuel, I own an original production run 146 MB in Bordeaux and gold trim, Lamy 2000 in SS and the Makrolon version, Pelikan M817 Tiffany in Cobalt blue.
I am currently refining my collection and will be reducing the number that I have.
Regards,
Chris
Stunning pieces Chris!
You’ve given me the kick in the butt to get a Pelikan and Lamy 2000; I want the silver Lamy 2000. I haven’t decided which Pelikan ( right now I only have the Twist!) ❤
That’s two great pieces Liz that you surely won’t regret owning and using!
For once I have all items that are shown in the video. Lately I’m fascinated by the ink-gushing nib of Pelikan (M1000). But today I may have found a new appeal to Lamy 2000. I think I will pull it out of my old pen storage and try it for a while 😂😂
Hahah do that Toru. You have an awesome collection by now! 😎
I agree full heartedly. I started collecting in 1998 with Sheaffer and Parker. Then Visconti, Delta, and Montagrappa, then in 2000 Montblanc, Pelikan and Lamy.
In 2017 Platinum, Pilot, and Sailor. Last purchase was in 2023 the steel version of the Lamy 2000 in a broad nib and its prima! Samuel could you do the same types of videos for the Japanese and Italian brands please.
Regards,
Chris aus Kanada
Awesome Chris! I will definitely do my best to do a similar version with italian and japanese Pens!
What’s ur fav pen these days? The lamy 2k?
@XxXhardcoreshredderxXXxxxXXxxxxxXX Yes, and the oringinal production run MB 146 in burgundy and gold, Lamy 2000 in all steel, and the Pelikan M800 any colour.
Chris
I was trying to pick between the montblanc 149 and 146
👏🏼
I am a very recent owner of Gvfc Bentley Fountain Pen and instantly you fall in love with the guilloche and yhe knurling..what design and outstanding writing experience...Is a Grail for me ..By the way I am a biiiig fan of you @Samuel
Beautiful piece the Bentley! Thank you Chirantan!
Great video Samuel. You forgot about the Diplomats,especially the Excellence series?
Only had space for 5 pens 😂
Thanks Dr. Kassim
Even I own 3 of the 5, The exact same Pelikan and Montblanc show in the video down to the nib size! both Mediums. I own 3 Lamy 2000 F, EF and OB (Steel Version).
Fantastic! 🤩
Hey! Thank you for all your great content. I just bought a 149 partly thanks to you. However, I have a quick question. Is a Montblanc nib in the size Fine less durable over the years than a nib in Medium or Broad? Is it more likely to be worn out, bend or break? Thanks! 🙏🏽
Really glad to hear. The answer to your questions is: NO. Each Gold Nib has an Iridium Point at the tip that prevents the Nib from wearing out over the years. You will be perfectly fine for decades with your 149 if you treat it well! 🙏🏼
you need to feature more Montblanc instruments, you must have more to share
Will definitely share whenever i have something really exciting
Love the video. I am own Pelikan, MB, and Lamy. Here in the US, Pelikan service was acceptable when I used their help for a nib exchange. However, the MB service center has had my "diplomat" hostage since the beginning of September of 2022!!! They have given me multiple ETA's, only to change it later. I am starting to feel like giving up on them. While they may be very well reliable, fast is not something I'd classify them as. I understand they "hand make" their nibs, but 8 months [and waiting] for a nib exchange is outrageous! Just had to add my 2 cents :)
As always, great video!
Hey thank you so much for sharing your after sales experience. Indeed Pelikan is very fast. Also Graf von Faber Castell and Caran d’Ache are extremely fast. Montblanc usually takes 6 weeks, if you leave in the US i would count with 9 Weeks, which is a bit more than 2 months 😂 and not 8. Your waiting way too long. I’m sorry fo hear that. Would be great if they explained you why it’s taking so long.
@@SamuelNaldi They keep saying "because our nibs are hand made"......
@@Shak-MD that’s ridiculously funny 😂 really bad response.
Love the channel and learning a lot. Can you do videos about pens from different countries? England (UK including Scotland), America, France, Japan, and others you’re aware of. Then a best of the globe? Thanks for the information and keep the videos coming.
Lamy 2000 leaks on the nib if shaken 😢
Thank you so much for watching. Will surely do a Best Italian and Best Japanese! 🙏🏼
An English company that sort of goes under the radar but makes excellent pens is Yard O'Led. I don't think any pens are made in America any more. Not since the closing of the Parker Janesville plant.
@@thadtheman3751esterbrook? Indie brands like franklin christoph?
Great introduction 👍🏻🔝 I will bring my small collection to your store as soon as I visit you!
I have a Montblanc LeGrand I think- not sure when I mesure (it was a gift so I don’t know). Can you detect the „size“/model without measuring?
The Mozart that I have is clear 😅
If it’s a size similar to the Chronoswiss by Pelikan (Styloscope) then it might be a LeGrand. If it’s thinner then it’s a Classique!
@@SamuelNaldi They are about the same, indeed. Must be a LeGrand then. with the cap the Montblanc is a bit larger, without, the Styloscope (including the nib). Without
the nib and cap they are quite the same. From thickness they are almost equal. I guess its LeGrand. I while bring it to the shop as soon as I visit you.
best regards
Pana
@@pianotaste with pleasure dear! 🙏🏼
I use Lamy Safari stub nibs.but they are a bit scratchy.
Pilot B stub nibs are the smoothest though, and Pilot pens are best value for money.
Even my fabulous Pilot Custom Heritage 912 with the FA flex nib only cost me 200 pounds.
I have Jinhao X750 fountain pens in many beautiful colours. Lovely number 7 nibs that write perfectly,
if you want to know what a Montblanc feels like in the hand, the Jinhao is under 10 pounds.
Thanks for sharing your opinon Neil
❤all great writers, the Lamy 2k is my fave!
Thanks for letting us know 🙏🏼
I find the second one most stylish ❤👍
Thank you for sharing! ❤️
Hello!
I'm new here but loving your videos.
I have a query.
What's your opinion on the Graf von Faber-Castell Guilloche vs the classic?
Thank you so much. Classic definitely a better pen than the guilloche, but it’s also more expensive. The Guilloche is fun and cool. Personally would buy the wooden one
@@SamuelNaldi Thank you so much for getting back to me! It's honestly a very pleasant surprise.
It's something I'll definitely consider.
I only ask since I'm in situation were I can buy a Guilloche for around CHF 200, brand new.
@@nikitafreidrich407 my pleasure Nikita. well, it’s always about what you are willing to do. Would you rather wait and put more aside to buy the Wooden one or go for the guilloche right away? The Guilloche is a great pen for what you pay. You get an 18kt gold nib. A nice guilloche decoration, a cool design. Metal grip section and metal cap. So again, you’re getting a lot for.
@@SamuelNaldi I really do appreciate your time and knowledge.
Again thank you for the information.
Wishing you all the best and to stay healthy.
A must have ❤
❤️
Please do a Caran d’Ache presentation; especially the Léman series is amazing 😍😍
With pleasure!
@@SamuelNaldi Thank you! 🙏😍
I only buy German and Japanese fountain pens… kind of like cars… I only consider those two.
Thanks for letting us know 🙏🏼
Thus far, I own the Lamy 2000. From each of the other brands I also own pens, but not those you showed 😂 From Pelikan an MB, I own the M800 and the LeGrand 146. Also in my collection are Otto Hutt Design 01 and 04, and from GvFC the Guilloche in India Red.
All beautiful pieces Florian. Thanks for sharing this!
What’s your overall best pick to you? Favorite?
@@XxXHardcoreshredderxXXxxxxxxxx My overall favorite is alway the last pen I purchased 😂 Which is at the moment the Nakaya Decapod in aka-tamenuri finish. But I really like all of my pens and I use them all on a regular basis. But just considering the finish, my favorite would probably be the Caran d‘Ache Leman in Klein blue. It is such a vibrant color, I could stare at it all day long 🤣
@@florianbuerzle2703 that's really cool, thanks for sharing bro! I just got an esterbrook estie in petrified wood with a custom scribe grind nib that they sell. I really like it a lot. For some reason works really well and easily with my handwriting. I tried out pilot signature nib on the custom 74 and l.. yeah it wasn't a good fit for me. I bought my friend a visconti Zeus (the introductory level fountain pen offering) and it really is a beautiful pen. Cheers!
@@XxXHardcoreshredderxXXxxxxxxxx Ah, Esterbrook pens are great writing instruments as well 😀 From them I have the Estie Oversize Sea Glass - a really beautiful pen that perfoms really nicely.
Great video. I also love my Design 08. Do you sell that pen pot on the desk?
Thank you so much! 🙏🏼 Yessir, i sell that Pen Holder on the Desk ❤️
And so glad you love your design08
I only saw the Smythson with divider. Really like the one on your desk with wood accent. Did I miss it on your website?
@@jbots8883 yes that piece is not on the website yet. Send an e-mail at info@styleofzug.ch and we’ll send you pics and pricing of it 😉
My favourite of these is the Montblanc not only on account of its characteristics but also because of its title. Switzerland for me is my other homeland so the association is immediate. I love their devotion to detailed design.
Thanks for sharing your opinion Gihan!
thanks , great
❤️
Quality and stylish.
❤️❤️❤️
Lamy tenho uma há 65 anos, minha primeira caneta de tinta permanente --- Pelikam tenho uma há mais de 40 anos e a minha esposa tem uma pelikam com mais de 60 anos.
Lamy has had one for 65 years, my first fountain pen --- Pelikam has had one for over 40 years and my wife has one for over 60 years.
Fantastic! 🤩 thank you for sharingB
Great video Samuel. I was hoping this topic (German pens) was going to win! I have the Lamy 2000 and love it. I inked it with Jacques Herbin Bleu Austral and it writes beautifully. Very broad line though; almost like writing with a Sharpie. 😀
Thank you for your comment Kurt!
I have the 2000 (black amber edition), M1000, the GvFC in both Alexander and Pernambuco, and the 149. I almost got the Design08 because a dealer was willing to let me have it 50% off but I passed because it was an extra fine nib. Still kick myself for that one.
Amazing pieces you got there! 😍
Can you make a video of 5 best Japanese fountain pens
Yesss, will do that too, indeed!
Thank you
thank you ❤❤ but pelikan m805 better than pelikan m1000
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Good qualité
The Faber Castell Factory is not in Nuremberg but in Stein since 1761.
Yes, Nürnberg is right next to it.
@@SamuelNaldi Like Canada is next to the US? ;-) For the folks in Stein it is quite important to not get mixed up with Nürnberg. Local patriots - you understand?
Lamy Studio and 2000 (Pico for quick trips.) with the Waterman Expert to round out my daily drivers. Graf von Faber-Castell , I was introduced to as a kid growing up in Wiesbaden. When I came back to the USA, I stepped into desk models such as Waterman Exception (blue), several Graf’s (partial as it was my first purchase), I have several Classics as you call them, here in the greater Boston area, we call the “Guilloche’. Black, Macassar, walnut, cognac, Classic Anello fountain and the E-motion wood and a Bentley (Sequin Blue) rollerballs. Graf is by far my favorite manufacturer. *I mix my own ink to provide unique color profiles based on the purpose of use. Example, any business deal is signed Mitch a mix of black and blue with a hint of Yama-Budo to tinge the feathering to ensure ORIGINAL signatures on documents. If it doesn’t have the purple feathering, it’s a fake! My business diary replaces Yama-Budo with you-yake while my personal diary changes between Shin-Ryoku and Ajisai. My base is almost always Graf carbon black and Pelican or Waterman blacks. Paper places a determining factor as well. Clairefontaine - Triomphe responds to different nibs (SF) leads to less feathering and color combinations better than say, Rhoda with a fine nib. While Apica is the epitome of paper that I have experienced. I welcome more knowledge on the subject. My signet is QuillTip. I’m always available for greater knowledge on this subject. Thank you for your videos!
Lamy Safari when I wear Seikos, 🤘🏽MontBlanc 149 when I wearing Rolex 💪🏽
Love that!
The quality of Mb fountain pens is not the same anymore 😢 Brand new pens have issues with either the nib or the flow. It’s a shame that despite the deterioration in the quality the price is ridiculously high. Go for PELIKAN, LAMY or Japanese fountain pens!!!!
I gravitate towards Black pens with gold accents thus Montblanc 149 and Pelikan souveran are surley the most titillating
I own Montblanc 146 and definitely love it but i use Pilot 74 and pilot Capless more often than anything else
Your videos are dangerous for the wallet
German pens are like German cars.
Absolutely!
Same that you don't really show the Pelikan stripes.
There is always a reason to complain 🙄
Lamy 2000 is the best by far
Glad you enjoy the Lamy 2000 🙏🏼
👍👍👍👍👍

Luxury fountain pens for a world population that increasingly writes with a keyboard.
yes exactly. and Mechanical Watches for a a population that doesn't know how to read analogic time.
Wonderful reporting. You must keep representing the high value and high quality pens in this world. Too much is being pushed that is mediocre every day
I own a GvFC Guilloche and love it. The rest of the pens in this video I’m not personally a fan of. Especially the Lamy, that brand is so overrated in my opinion!
Thanks for sharing your opinion and for watching!
I love my black makrolon Lamy 2000, perfect in every way, but I also have the stainless steel version, which writes beautifully but doesn't post well: the cap is loose and often slips off. Very frustrating. Totally agreed about the Pelikan however. I have the M1000 which is fantastic. MontBlanc 149 - I've always wanted one, in principle at least, but overpriced and too many people have said it is fragile.
With the MB 149, people will notice you know about luxury, but not about fountain pens. Although I like them, when you got deep into the hobby, MB is not so important anymore.
Montblanc is very important and the reason why the other brands still exist. If MB wouldn’t do the incredible job they’re doing for the community even fewer people would be interested in fine pens. Montblanc Pens are extremely well made and thought and if you had the chance to visit their manufacture in Hamburg you will understand how much know-how and care goes into each Montblanc.
@@SamuelNaldi No. In the 1950-2000 Sheaffer and Parker did more for fountain pens then MB. Now Twsbi and Pilot do more.
As for well made, the late Frank Dubiel once said that every year old MB 149 he inspected under a loupe had microcracks.
The is not to say that MB does not occasionally make a good pen. The Medici for example.
@@thadtheman3751Are you sure the micro cracks that he saw were not from his loupe? 😂
@@bornfree3963 Do you know who Frank Dubiel was? If he says there were cracks there cracks.
I have these pens of those shown: Lamy 2K; Pelikan M1K, M800 nd many others, and Montblanc 149 and others. I don't like pencil--like pens or pens with metal sections, so I don't even want to try any Graf von Faber Castell or Otto Hutt products; I think of them as effeminate and aesthetically unappealing. I want and own pens with some girth.
Have you ever seen the design08? That has quite some Girth!
@@SamuelNaldi asked:Have you ever seen the [Otto Hutt] design08? That has quite some Girth!....... I looked it up. It has an annular grip and an unappealing barrel and cap design. I prefer more traditional cigar shapes, or designs such as Sailor Pro Gear. In addition, I prefer pens made of acrylic, ebonite, or plastics, decorated with pleasing color schemes.
Diplomat
Cool. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Well if you have the Lame 2000 you perhaps should have considered the Diplomat Excellence A2?
As for the German thing about precision. I' sorry people said that fifty years ago. Compare to Japanese pens, some of the modern U.S. manufacturers, perhaps the British hand made pens and companies like Aurora? The world has access to the same machinery if they want. It's all about the target market niche.
Then look at Montblanc who often have a wobble in the threads between the cap and the barrel. Overall Montblanc aren't really that well made compared to the Graf Von Faber Castel, or Pelikan, for example.
As for Pelikan, you fail to say that the M80x and M1000 are of the same top quality and that the others are not.
The GVFC is not a wooden barrel by the way - have you not looked inside it? A metal barrel with wooden cover. A beautiful pen. But, don't let facts get in your way.
I stopped watching at this point. The heavy over sales pitch was just too much.
I'm sorry, though there are some superb pens in your selection, I have a low tolerance of marketing B.S.
Everything i’ve read here is absolute non sense
@@SamuelNaldi Pick one fact I have wrong and tell me.
I had the respect to quote verifiable facts. Your reply is a meaningless global response.
And, you did not challenge any of the facts.
Should I come back and tear the rest of the video apart? Citing facts at every stage.
A lot of the video was not so much incorrect it was so OTT, sales B.S.
No, you missed the best writing German fp of them all, Kaweco. Don't believe me? Buy one.
I mean… 1. you really think i work with these kind of pens and have never tried Kaweco? 2. I definitely didn’t miss Kaweco when reviewing this line up 😅
OOPS....wrong corner
This is video fo Saudis
Sorry?
@@SamuelNaldi * ...for wealthy people = not for common mortals B)
German pens are great & like their cars, overpriced. Although I like Montblanc Pens, their 144 Meisterstück is the 'Chevette' of pens. It is a fragile set of compromises that has a cap that falls off, uses thin fragile resin and is still seriously overpriced. You pay for status NOT quality.
Lovely, but the gloves make the pens feels like something full of shit.
Ok
