If the name in question is Breguet, the expectations and their realization become even more problematic, because what one expects from the company heir to arguably the most illustrious watchmaking tradition in the world is not merely very high quality, but a certain expression of quality- in short, an embodiment of a philosophy.
The star of the collection is of course the Breguet fountain pen, which, like the other two pieces in the collection (a rollerball, and a convertible ballpoint/fountain pen) seems deliberately calculated to make a statement about Breguet's relationship to quality in general, and to their own design heritage in particular.
Breguet deserves credit also for casting the clip from solid silver, rather than stamped and rolled sheet metal, as is the case on many of even the highest quality modern fountain pens.
