The Meisterstück Around the World in 80 Days collection is inspired by Jules Verne's famous adventure novel “Around the World in 80 Days”. The Solitaire LeGrand fountain pen in black stained wood draws inspiration from the second leg of the journey, from Bombay to Yokohama. The wood was chosen to pay homage to the moment in which Fogg saves Princess Auda from having to commit the practice of Sati. In this second adventurous stage, the protagonists travel on a majestic elephant, which appears in a cartouche on the hood. The body and cap bear an engraved pattern with symbols. The clip features a red lacquered Ace of Diamonds and the cone is engraved with a pattern and card suits, representing Fogg's bet to make the journey in 80 days. The top of the cap features embossing of the duration of the journey, 25 days from Bombay to Yokohama and 80 days in total. The writing instrument is completed by a handmade 18K gold nib, decorated with a hot air balloon and with the dates 20/10 and 14/11: Fogg leaves Bombay on 20 October at 8pm and Yokohama on 14 November at 6pm.
