The cap is inspired by a globe viewed from the poles and is crowned with an individually selected 2ct lapis lazuli gemstone, while the phrase \"Parker 130 Years Around the World\" is laser-engraved around the jewel. The 18K solid gold two-tone nib is engraved with a compass motif, a tribute to the navigational tools used during the founder's travels, and the entire pen is manually hand-assembled from 22 components at Parker's workshop in Nantes, France.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Story\u003c\/strong\u003e This edition honours George Safford Parker, founder of the Parker Pen Company in 1888, whose passion for world travel — from Paris and Egypt to China and South America — inspired the design of some of Parker's most celebrated writing instruments.
