Just found your page. I was actually 1.23 into the video when I stopped it and subscribed immediately! First time I've ever heard Hemingway as a given name. I like it a lot. I am sure I'm going to have a lot of fun and learn much here.
Thank you so much! I appreciate it. I am so glad you like my Channel! Sadly, Hemingway is not my actual name. It is a name I made up for the Internet. Thanks for being here!
Many years ago, I saw several Cartier fountain pens in an upscale shop, but I did not know enough about fountain pens at that time to make a good decision about obtaining a Cartier. Thanks for another very, very enjoyable presentation. RS. Canada
Hi! New subscriber here, I thoroughly enjoyed your video. I have the same pen but mine came with a two-tone M nib. I do agree it writes really smoothly!
I’ve been a serious fan of that Levenger store in the Prudential mall and was quite sad when it closed down. I still work in downtown Boston and I can easily walk to the new Appleboom pen store on my lunch break.
I love your burgundy version, I've got two of these, one in yellow gold and the other in platinum (I presume). They both write very well, are wet, and have a perfect weight for me, and I keep them inked and ready to use along with just a few other pens. Thank you for the review.
New to your channel - just subscribed. Great video about a pen that is not often reviewed. You are right about the nib - in that it may well have been made by Montblanc - both companies are owned by Richmont. Montblanc made the nibs for Dunhill, post 1977 when Dunhill bought a share of Montblanc. The nib reminds of a me of the one on the 145.
Thanks so much for the background. That was pure conjecture. It would be cool to learn I was correct. Thank you so much for subscribing. I hope you enjoy the programs. I will strive to put up some different content presented in unique ways and to throw in some classical music when I can. All the best!
@@HemingwayJones I think you already have some great content. I think these collaborations between companies may. be more common than is realised. You may be interested to know that Montblanc reportedly sold the tooling/machines used to make the Noblesse pens to Rotring in the 1990s, which were then used to make the Rotring 700. The design of the Diabolo was all Cartier, though, as they had a whole family of pens. Monblanc ballpoints fit their ballpoints. Another cross-over pen is the recent Montblanc Purdey - as the shotgun maker is another Richmont company.
Thank you for this educational review of this pen. Funny enough, I just inherited this model, and color, as my first fountain pen, to where I am now just looking to learn as much as possible. Seeing how it is on the rarer side of pens to be found, I just ordered a Mount Blanc 145 to use as my more daily writer, in which I'm interested to know what the similarities are. Do you know by chance? From my limited knowledge, they're sister companies, to where your theory about MB creating the nib, and managing that aspect could be correct.
Note: The MontBlanc converter is identical to and interchangeable with the Cartier converter. Both screw into the section, which is favorable. Thank you for your videos!
The Cartier is very nice and very heavy duty. I have never seen a MB converter. All of mine are Piston fills and I have six or so of them. None use converters. Sorry, I wish I could compare. All the best.
Thank you Hemingway for this so interesting video on a lovely Cartier pen. Now, assuming one's income allows venturing into luxury, yes, I am more than willing to spent the thousand dollar bill on a classy fountain pen. There are several reasons for that, much as I love designer bags and scarves, the high end fountain pen towers above other forms of luxury as an epitome of civilisation. I treat mine like a jewel, for example when getting into the stores I always have some good looking gloves with me and visit the place properly clad. Next, I place them in pen trays I acquired from Harrods so that they never drop on the floor, and in fact right on top of a soft Gustav Klimt coaster so as to avoid scratching the porcelain. Third, I wash them regularly if they can handle water, if not, such as urushies and maki-e's, they go to the shop for professional, non abrasive cleansing. And finally, the more valuable pens always remain at home, the rest may travel with me but strictly placed in a silk pen pouch. And when not in use, back in their original box which I call their house. I just love this ritual that keeps used pens looking pristine.
Thanks so much for watching! I appreciate your great and interesting comment. It's good to buy something once and then it will last the rest of your life. Thanks for being here.
I believe that the Namiki Emperor collection is worth the thousand dollar price tag. Because you are paying for a really beautiful peace of artwork on the pen.
hello I’ve been watching you for a little while and just wanted to say you are an amazing creator also I’ve been wanting to get into journaling for a while could you make a video on how to start :)
A beautiful pen... my theory is that the nib could have been made by waterman France or Parker, I'm more inclined in Waterman because of the softness and broadness of the point, and the shape of the nib really reminds me of some waterman pens of the period. It seems Red/burgundy is always the less common color, like with certain montblanc pens. Thank you for the video
Thank you for a very special review. None of the pen channels I subscribe to have featured a Cartier pen, at least not that I can remember. Interesting that you chose to film the Diabolo against a background of Tarot Cards. Of course The Devil is one of the cards of the Major Arcana set, as you must already be aware. I like the pen and I like the brand. Your assessment of what constitutes a $1000 pen is probably correct in that you are, most certainly, paying for the name Cartier. The pen was probably made in small numbers and components selected very carefully. All adding to the overall cost. To get the pen with an 80% discount was a truly wonderful purchase, and definitely well worth it.
Hello David, My Friend. I appreciate the kind words and I will strive to bring interesting and compelling content. I try to make some striking visuals to go along with the narrative. Trying to keep it interesting. Be well and speak soon.
Levenger is not the same as it was in the 2000s, I used to frequent them, now it has been years since I even thought about Levenger. Glad you got a great deal from the error of their ways.
It is indeed. I imagine Cartier does the decoration, the barrel material, and perhaps the embossing of the nib, but all else is suspiciously MB. Happy to hear the facts. Thanks! Happy to meet you here.
I will never understand people who complain about the prices of things that were obviously never made for them. If you can't afford something, buy what you can and be content with it. Don't complain about something that's "too expensive", its not too expensive for those who can and do buy them. Let everyone enjoy what they can afford in peace.. and be grateful for what you can afford!
Very interesting pen and I'm a fan of your library.
Thank you very much!

Thank you so much for watching! You may yet have another chance. There are always opportunities out there. Happy Hew Year!
Thanks, excellent review. I am thinking about buying this pen and you have clarify some of my doubts. You won a new suscriber.
Thank you very much! Let me know your thoughts once it arrives.
I truly admire your way of life and Sophistication i want to be like you when i get out of college
Thank you most kindly!

Thanks very much and welcome! It is an amazing pen.

I still work in downtown Boston and I can easily walk to the new Appleboom pen store on my lunch break.
Appleboom is where Bromfield used to be. They used to service my pens and were excellent and fairly priced. I hope Appleboom still has service.
@@HemingwayJones That I don’t know for sure! I’ll ask next time I’m there.
@@ginopagnani7286 Thanks! I need to get down there too. You used to be able to watch them working on pens through the window. It was very old school.

You can see the craftsmanship from the finish of the pen, I just love it. Do you like the Vac 700?
Thanks so much! I love the TWSBI Vac 700R! It’s a very well made pen with a nice nib
Greetings from Australia.
Great review. I love that pen and I will share this video with Fountain Pens Australia.
My grail pen now.
Thank you very much! I appreciate it. All the best.

It's like a museum piece.

Thank you, Harrison. That is very kind of you to say. Tune in Thursday at noon and my YT on journaling goes live! You have perfect timing.

how to refill
It’s a cartridge / converter. Thanks for watching.
informative review thanks
Thanks very much!
Can you do a Introduction to journalism
Sure.
Levenger is not the same as it was in the 2000s, I used to frequent them, now it has been years since I even thought about Levenger. Glad you got a great deal from the error of their ways.
Such a stroke of luck! Do they even exist?
Great video
Thank you!
What a beautiful pen! Do you prefer this over the Montblanc 149?
Thank you! I actually still prefer the 149. You cannot beat the piston fill or the warmth of that pen.
It is made by Montblanc. And the Cartier inks are coming from the same „dwell“ as Montblanc inks, as well.
Wouldn’t surprise me. The similarities are uncanny.
@@HemingwayJones I saw some proof myself. Feel free to reach out in case this should be of any interest.
It is indeed. I imagine Cartier does the decoration, the barrel material, and perhaps the embossing of the nib, but all else is suspiciously MB. Happy to hear the facts. Thanks! Happy to meet you here.
@@HemingwayJones The embossing is done at MB, as well. I saw the stamp.
Damn that's a great offer. 80% off. One friend of mine who has a lot of pens also gets super deals like this.
It was so lucky. Thanks! I’m so glad I have it.
@@HemingwayJones Do you have a video on how you started your collection and how you got here and all that?
I will never understand people who complain about the prices of things that were obviously never made for them. If you can't afford something, buy what you can and be content with it. Don't complain about something that's "too expensive", its not too expensive for those who can and do buy them. Let everyone enjoy what they can afford in peace.. and be grateful for what you can afford!
Very good point. It’s the different between cost and value. Some people define value in very narrow terms.
great channel intro
Thank you!
