Tuxedo...Top Hat...and Cross Townsend® Tango

For those events when black tie is de rigueur, no ordinary ball-point will suffice. Tuck a Townsend Tango pen by Cross® into the pocket of your tux for utter panache. The Townsend Tango pen balances elegant composition with perfect practicality for occasions when refinement is your calling card.

The Townsend Tango bears a classically styled silhouette that is sleekly adorned in black or slate-colored lacquer and contemporary engraving details. For that chic black-tie gala or your best friend’s wedding, this writing instrument completes the sophisticated man’s attire, offering a suitably dressed partner for the most formal occasions...or the simple year-round enjoyment of an accessory that subtly conveys your true polish.

Taste...luxury...it’s all in the details of this pen, which is rendered in two timeless styles. One option features a link pattern engraved on the rhodium-plated cap, accentuated by stunning, slate-hued lacquer that is hand-polished for incredible depth of color. Another version offers a “cross hatch” engraved pattern – modern geometrics – smoothly paired with luxurious, hand-polished black lacquer. Both styles feature rhodium-plated appointments.

The Townsend Tango can be customized with engraving for a personalized touch. This exceptional writing instrument is available in three technologies: ball-point pen (suggested retail price $100), Selectip® rolling ball pen (suggested retail price $125), and fountain pen (suggested retail price $235).

For your own wardrobe, or as a gift for that dashing dance partner that has it all, the Townsend Tango makes for memorable writing moments. Available online at www.cross.com, at Cross stores, or through select retailers beginning February 2007, the Townsend Tango pen is backed by a lifetime guarantee, as with all Cross writing instruments.
