Jun 04, 2026
The intersection of fine art and fine writing instruments has produced some of the most beautiful objects in the world, and the Platinum PQ-200 Meteor Fountain Pen — a limited edition collaboration between Platinum and The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met) celebrating East Mythology — is a stunning example of this tradition. In this review, we'll explore why this extraordinary limited edition pen is a must-have for art lovers, fountain pen enthusiasts, and collectors across the UK.
The Collaboration: Platinum x The Met
The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York is one of the world's greatest art institutions, home to a collection spanning 5,000 years of human creativity. The collaboration between Platinum and The Met brings the museum's extraordinary collection of East Asian art and mythology to the barrel of one of Japan's finest fountain pens, creating a writing instrument that is simultaneously a work of art and a precision writing tool.
The East Mythology theme draws on the rich artistic traditions of East Asia — Chinese, Japanese, and Korean art and mythology — to create a design that is both culturally meaningful and visually stunning. The Meteor name evokes the celestial imagery that features prominently in East Asian mythology and art.
