Lincoln, RI, July 1, 2005 -- A.T. Cross Company (AMEX: ATX – news) will introduce a stylish limited edition ATX® Fall Collection in September, in time to join the 2005-2006 fall fashion lineup. In addition to three beautiful new colors, the new ATX Fall Collection pens feature rich, rose gold tone appointments which add a warm, fall glow to the contemporary ATX design.

The new ATX Fall Collection is available in three luxurious colors: Champagne White, Jade Green, and Claret Red. The rose gold tone pen clips are laser etched with exclusive patterns designed by Cross called Maltese, Plaid and Pearl. Each color features one of the three engraved patterns. Elegant and sleek, the new ATX Fall Collection will round out this season’s wardrobe, adding the important extra touch that makes an enviable statement.

“The new group is a continuation of our seasonal approach to the ATX line, which complements the trends in fashion,” said Bruce Willox, Director of Global Marketing for A.T. Cross. He continued, “The ATX Fall Collection follows our ATX Spring line, which sold out. Our customers recognize the importance of carrying the right accessories. They know our products offer them great style as well as exquisite details.”
