The pencil represents a symbol for writing and drawing. No other writing instrument is so simple yet universal, so undemanding, useful and timeless. A poet once described it as an instrument on which to play the music of the soul and, even today, it remains one of the tools most frequently used by creative people.
Just as certain people have a natural affinity to certain others, some materials just “go together” . Ivory is frequently combined with ebony, known even in antiquity as one of the most beautiful and most expensive of woods.The heartwood, very dark brown to black, shows off the creamy white of the iviry almost perfectly. This composition takes ideal shape in the “Pen of the Year 2006″.
Exclusive materials of highest quality are chosen for the “pen of the Year 2006″: materials that are a challenge to obtain. For the best mammoth ivory one must undergo adbenturous expedititions to the coast of the Artic Ocean in Sibiria. Frozen in pure ice, the ivory there has retained its immaculate beauty. It comes to light only cluring the brief Siberian summer.For export the ivory reqires a license that cannot be granted until a scientific assessment has been carried out.
Mammoth ivory is no odinary ivory. It is heavier and a connoisseur will immediately recognize it from the unique veining. The material has absorbed moisture during the millennia it was buried in the ice, and needs to be slowly and carefully dried out over a period of three to five years. Only then can one cautiously cut, grind, turn, and polish it.

For men: Resolutely asserting the neoclassical style of the collection, the Millenary line for men features an oval case endowed with polished curves that contrast with its straight, satin-brushed sides. And despite its generous (45 mm) size and oversized crown, its ergonomic design ensures absolute wearer comfort.
Available in pink or white gold, the case is enhanced by a crocodile leather strap in a shade that matches the dial. The latter is immediately recognisable, since the gold luminescent hands sweep over an hour zone forming an offset circle within the minute zone. The former is adorned with applied gold Roman numerals, while the second displays Arabic numerals, in a variety of colours according to the versions.
Finally, the sapphire case-back of the Millenary for men reveals the subtle intricacies of selfwinding
Calibre 3120, an exclusive movement developed by Audemars Piguet and blending reliability and excellent rating precision.
For women: Within the Millenary line designed for women, the sensuality of the oval is sublimated by delicately curving soft lines and generous, distinctive proportions. The case is topped with a slightly raised bezel adorned with diamonds that light up the dial. In the steel version, the latter combines a light silvered colour with a delightfully fresh shade of pastel.
When the case comes in white, pink or yellow gold versions, this crown of diamonds underscores the subtle charm of a white natural mother-of-pearl dial; while in the jewellery variation, the gold of the case, bezel and lugs is set with brilliants standing out against a black or chocolate brown dial with diamond-pavé hour zone.
As in the men’s Millenary line, this ladies’ collection is graced with a dial playing on the theme of circles and ovals: arranged around a central disc, the hour and minute zones are both off-centred, with the former displaying Arabic numerals and the latter Roman numerals. The astonishingly modern appeal of this design is highlighted by figures that change size as the hours go by, just like the colours of time itself.

In tribute to this art, the Casablanca bags are exclusively crafted in beige or brown leather.
