Editorial take

Why we picked it

I've spent a decade trying to look busy in meetings, but this pen has finally automated the process for me.

It's a writing instrument that spends its life trying to escape its base, hovering at a jaunty angle that suggests it has better places to be.

It's essentially a very expensive fidget spinner for people who wear blazers and enjoy making their colleagues slightly uncomfortable with "science."

Detailed verdict

The full review

The Irresistible

  • The sheer theatricality of it standing there, unsupported, is enough to make any desk feel like it belongs on the bridge of a Starship.
  • The magnetic cap snaps into place with a satisfying "clink" that provides a hit of dopamine usually reserved for winning at pub quizzes.

The Clever Part

  • It is engineered to sit at a 23.5-degree angle, mimicking the Earth's axial tilt, which is exactly the kind of over-engineered nonsense we live for.
  • The Schmidt ballpoint cartridge means it actually writes like a dream, assuming you can stop spinning it for long enough to sign a cheque.

The Fine Print

  • If you have a cluttered desk, you will inevitably knock this over and spend ten minutes crawling under your chair to find a piece of "interstellar" aluminium.
  • The magnetic base is a menace to any credit cards or mechanical watches that dare to get too close.

The Reality Check

  • The "uncap" ritual is so dramatic that you'll feel like you're launching a nuclear missile just to write a grocery list for milk and bin bags.
