Author: Jerome of Tatár

A lawyer on weekdays, a fan of pens, watches, cars, and golf on weekends. He has been passionate about fountain pens since he was six years old, completed watchmaking school, can always polish a cylinder head, and is always available for 18 holes. His first pen was a constantly leaking Chinese Parker 51 imitation, so in elementary school, his fingers were ink-stained more often than he raised his hand in class. He has no favorite brand or era. He likes it when an object is not only beautiful but also functional.
