Mark One is... Minimal. No superfluous details, not even a visible logo. Clean, simple, elegant, and it comes in two colors. Durable. The entire pen is made out of metal, and coated with a robust ceramic polymer coating, which gives the pen a great feel in the hand. Retractable. We wanted a click pen for our favorite refill, and we went to great lengths—including a custom mechanism—to make it happen. Satisfying as heck to click.
Unless a pen is made from an exotic material (Carbon Fiber, Ceramic, Titanum), you better believe there is a high mark-up if it's anything north of $10. Pentel, one of the largest makers of pens and mechanical pencils go for less than $10 for most of their offerings with only there drafting models selling for more and they are regarded as some of the best on the market for years. I have a fancier pencil I bought years back with a unique metal body for I wanna say $20 or $25 but that was because I liked the heft and size of the metal body but $50? Go back to the drawing board buddy, you're drunk.

Wow they are trying to make an Apple pen.
The worse you treat the customer by removing features, the more they believe they have something special.
Overpriced pen selling on customers emotions.

Don't be fooled. This is just an overpriced pen missing a plethora of features (most important one being having a clip).

Smart idea to generate an extra income from creating a pen! And you need to chase him in all the places
Pros:
A pen
Cons:
Nothing genius about it! Just a pen but a very expensive one :(
I'm always in the market for a good pen. I keep a Field Notes notebook and pen on my desk, and I prefer minimal pens like this. I'll have to keep an eye on it.

It looks like many people who have commented on here have totally missed the point of this product. It is not fair to compare this pen to a cheap "drugstore" pen or even a something that you can buy on Amazon. You get this pen to be compliment to your everyday desk set-up and have for years. You get this pen to be refilled multiple times and to be something that you carry around in you pocket to reliable write on whatever shitty paper your restaurant receipt is printed on. You get this pen because you care about good design and you want to buy quality items that will last you for years to come.
Pros:
Beautiful minimalist design, durable coating, and what sounds like a really satisfying click mechanism.
Cons:
I can't have it now.

I've used this pen for a long time. It's fancy. It looks cool. But that's it. It looks cool. Nothing premium about it compared to other pens I've used. I was meant to review it on my site Successisforall.com about products that help, but it doesn't help with writing at all.
Pros:
It has a nice heavy feel on it.
Cons:
The ink is atrocious. It stopped working after 3 weeks. Oh, and eventually the pen also scratches.
