I make my living as a writer, so you might assume I spend my days hammering away at a keyboard. That’s only partially true. First I write my pieces out in long hand on a legal pad, because the process of putting pen to paper allows me to think more clearly and to select my words with care. It may seem like an antiquated approach to writing, and yet I lose nothing in time. This process is made all the more enjoyable because I use Parker pens. Their new and innovative arsenal of pens, the Parker Ingenuity collection, is set to revolutionize the look and feel of writing.

A leading manufacturer and renowned pen specialist since 1888, Parker’s handcrafted pens reflect innovation, style and quality. Parker’s first ball pen, The Jotter, came out in 1954 and is still in production today. It has sold an incredible 750 million worldwide. Chances are you’ve used one.

After extensive research into consumers’ wants and needs, and after combining the favorite features of the four current writing modes — the classic beauty of the fountain pen, the smoothness and precision of the rollerball, the ease and longevity of the ball point, and the smudge-free, fluid experience of the porous point—Parker researchers have developed the 5th technology. It’s a cutting-edge refill tip with an engraved metallic hood. The new pens come in six beautiful finishes. Take one out during a board meeting and you’ll be certain to get compliments. It’ll make you and your business look fashionable and first-rate.

This video ably demonstrates how a Parker pen can be a perfect accessory.
