The Meisterstück Around the World in 80 Days collection, particularly the LeGrand Rollerball, beautifully channels the adventurous spirit of Jules Verne's classic novel. This writing instrument goes beyond being a functional tool; it tells a story with every detail, celebrating the unforgettable journey of Phileas Fogg and Passepartout.
The dark blue precious resin of the rollerball evokes the vast skies and oceans that Fogg and his companion crossed. The design on the cap—featuring a train elegantly lasered on it—is a nod to their travels across the American continent by rail, capturing the essence of this segment of the journey. The safety chain pattern on the cone adds another layer of depth, reflecting the heroic moment when Passepartout detaches the train to prevent further catastrophe.
The cap itself takes inspiration from the pressure valves and billowing smoke of the locomotive, bringing the power and motion of the train to life in a static form. The clip, adorned with a red lacquered heart card suit, symbolizes the romantic union between Fogg and Princess Aouda. This card suit motif further emphasizes the central role that Fogg's bold wager plays in the plot—a daring challenge to complete the journey in just 80 days.
The embossed timeline on the cap top, marking the 36-day stretch from Yokohama to London, ties the writing instrument to the essence of time—one of the novel's most vital elements. It’s a striking reminder of Fogg's race against the clock to win his bet, capturing the urgency and thrill of his remarkable adventure.
