A Timex watch in a digital age.
Well over a year ago I read a review (UK Fountain Pens) of the Franklin Christoph Model 02 and I decided to order one.

As The Indian Marmalade Company has now been operating for over two years the board and I met and when I say met I mean I talked and the board opened one eye, washed her paws and went back to sleep. I took the lack of opposition as the board’s approval for me to make the investment and acquire an official company pen.
