Cross Pens - A History and Reputation of Excellence
When pens are inspected at least 120 times during production, drop-tested nine times in various arrangements, and guaranteed they will still work after a drop of about three feet, it goes without saying that the Cross brand’s excellent reputation is justified!
Did you know that Cross is the pen of American Presidents? Presidents Reagan, Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump, and Biden have all selected Cross pens as their official pens. Each has had their pen developed based on personal specifications, so although those models are not sold to the general public, they are modified versions. Cross is a well-known brand that offers a range of high-quality writing instruments, including fountain pens, rollerball pens, and ballpoint pens.
Are Cross Pens a Luxury Writing Instrument?
They are not the most expensive and not the cheapest; the Cross brand of writing instruments and accessories is considered one of the best mid-range luxury brands available. The well-balanced Cross pen profile is deemed to be a recognizable and beautiful design by many pen enthusiasts, so the appearance, more than the price, is undoubtedly considered to be in the luxury category.
What’s So Special About Cross Pens?
For starters, the company is known its remarkable achievements in the fine writing industry. They are known as one of the initial developers of the modern mechanical pencil and early stylographic pens (which was the forerunner of the ballpoint pen).
Plus, Cross pens are made to last! Dependability and longevity are the keywords used to describe their unquestionable quality and reputation. The company has been able to hold its high standard for over 170 years, which says a lot considering the onslaught of competitors. They are crafted from sturdy materials that, when given proper care, can be passed down as heirlooms.
What is the Cross Pen Price Range?
The prices of Cross pens vary considerably and depend on the model. They are well-designed and constructed, so you always get your money’s worth (plus see the Cross Lifetime Mechanical Warranty below). At MyGiftStop, we offer a full range of writing tip styles and exterior materials, determining the manufacturer’s retail cost. However, we always have fabulous sales on all of our Cross pens, especially during various holidays throughout the year. Some of our favorite models are the Bailey and Bailey Light, the Calais Satin, the Classic Century and the Century II, and the Scuderia Ferrari.
The Cross Lifetime Mechanical Warranty
Another fantastic benefit is the unquestionable guarantee the Cross company offers on all Cross writing instruments. The warranties vary depending on the model. For example, Cross Tech2, Tech3+, and Tech 4 are covered if it has a mechanical failure (no matter their age) and will be repaired or replaced at no charge. The Cross Tech Pro and Cross Townsend Fine Tip Stylus Pens are guaranteed against electronic failure for one year from the date of purchase. Obviously, these guarantees are provided in accordance with the Care and Use Instructions!
