Along with Darth Vader, Slave Leia, and about a thousand catchphrases, we also have Star Wars to thank for those sugar-fuled nights spent at the local laser tag arena. Originating in 1984, inventor George Carter came up with the concept after watching the Battle of the Blockade Runner in A New Hope, spawning a TV show, series of novels, and a number one selling toy line.

Like fine timepieces, quality pens require detailed craftsmanship. That's evident in the perpetual calendar mechanism of the Anytime pen from Paolo Favaretto and Montegrappa. The pen's lid has three notched dials for the date, day, and month that provide haptic feedback when adjusted and lock into place using technology from the company's ratchet piston-fill mechanism. The pen is available in two models: Maestro, with a black resin and Delrin body with stainless steel trim, and Supremo, with a red resin body and yellow gold-plated brass trim. Both rollerball and fountain versions are available; the latter models have 18k gold nibs, and every pen regardless of model is limited to 365 numbered pieces and arrives pre-adjusted to show the date of manufacture.

No matter which one you choose, it's sure to become a wardrobe staple.
