This Pen is not just a Pen, its the essence of the one and only Bugatti Style!

The Bugatti Type A, designed by Ferrari da Varese, is a limited edition which reminds us of the classical lines and structure of the Bugatti style. The project took about two years from the visualization of the model to the definition of the production’s details, to the technical solutions, to the extreme engineering of the shapes.

The main material used is aluminum, a technical metal that gives us lightness and durability; the selected alloy is perfectly chosen to enable the smoothest work on the C/C machines. All parts are treated before being plated: most of them are hand brushed while the others are hand polished, to create that slight elegant contrast of different light reflections. The plating technique is a very advanced one, involving four different materials and creating four subsequent layers: first nickel, and then three precious metals being sterling silver, palladium and platinum. This way we ensure perfect durability and avoid oxidation.

The sapphire glasses are milled with the same caution and precision used in high-end watch making in order to obtain a calibrated and invariable housing, and they are tested against temperature variations, which could modify their assets.

To ensure the perfect closure of the cap, and a precise line-up of the different parts, an unusual and advanced bayonet system has been created, made possible by using a stainless steel micro-sphere. It is inserted in the cap within an elastic ring system that allows its breathing while the ball runs along the mill-made groove on the steel nib grip up to the point where it secures the cap with a soft click.

Absolute precision is guaranteed by the use of multi axes machines to shape the smallest details of this complicated though smooth pen. A second bayonet closure with a micro-sphere, again innovative, in the high end writing instruments world, is set in the body of the pen to block the nib grip and secure the converter.

The “writing engine”, the feeder and the nib, is qualitatively superior. In particular, the nib is rhodium coated 18kt gold, and it is equipped with an iridium tip that guarantees smooth writing.

Notice the fine milling of the Bugatti logo at the end of the barrel, excellent miniaturized technical proof, hand lacquered in black to make the brand even more outstanding

A superb manual and technical craftsmanship, both hand crafted and artistic: this is the spirit of co-operation between Bugatti and Ferrari da Varese; the mating of two different worlds which have in common the passion for the new, the research, the attention and love for the beauty, guided by a long tradition of excellence manufacturing.

Classy Hollywood star, Scarlett Johansson embodies the essence of Dolce & Gabbana’s  new ‘Rose the One’ fragrance. Subtly sexy with grace undertones, we can see why Scarlett was selected for this ad campaign.  The actress absolutely sizzles with girl next-door charm.  Though, this is only one of many D&G campaigns she represents. Her femininity and sexy sophistication definitely make for a lasting impression!

Would you pay $ 4500 for a big heavy 30 pound aluminum billet book? The book is only about some expensive car. Before you say NO the book explains the process of making a car out of aluminum billet. Larry Ellison, CEO of Oracle, commissioned Kirkham Motors ports to build the amazing aluminum billet roadster. The book reveals the secret of the ultimate car, which took 2 1/2 years to complete. I don’t think i would buy that book and i sure would not like to get hit with it!
