The Montblanc pen is a pen with attitude. CEOs of major corporations swallow the high price (in the hundreds) just for bragging rights. They will pull it out to sign major documents or just to make a statement and raise some eyebrows in the boardroom. They really serve no other purpose, the pen exists only to give its owner an aura of class. If someone can spend more that a hundred dollars on a pen, they mean business.
Yesterday I went in for an interview at an insurance company. As the recruiter pulled out some brochures to show me, he also put his pen on the table. I didn't notice the star until he began to use it as a pointer. He pointed to some items on the brochure and my eyes finally locked on it, unable to believe that he was giving an interview with a Montblanc. I raised my eyebrows slightly at him and he noticed that I noticed. He smirked a bit, as if to say, "Why yes, it certainly is." I felt like I had somehow lost a subtle pissing contest.
Or maybe he just appreciated my refined taste.
