クロスは創業当初から、紙にペンを走らせるためのルールを塗り替えてきました。創業者であるリチャード・クロスは、筆記を芸術の一種として捉え、専門家の手によって作られた優れた道具にふさわしい、個人的にやりがいのある体験であることを熱烈に支持しました。1846年、ロードアイランド州プロビデンスにA.T.クロス社を設立した彼は、アメリカ初の高級筆記具メーカーのリーダーとなりました。
リチャードの息子であるアロンゾ・タウンゼント・クロスは、父の先見の明を共有し、すぐに特許を取得した発明品で筆記具業界に革命を起こし始めた。今日、クロスは世界的な革新者であり、世界で最も広く認知され、最高の性能を誇るペンを製造し、140カ国で販売されています。独創的なデザイン技術、細部への徹底したこだわり、そして名高いジュエリー品質のクラフトマンシップを通して、私たちは今日の私たちの生活や働き方のための製品で、その輝かしい歴史を築き続けています。

Generations have celebrated important milestones, both personal and professional, with iconic Cross Pens. Many have become prized family possessions passed down through the years. Our fine writing instruments are cherished gifts to be used proudly throughout one's journey, whether you're honoring a birthday, graduation, individual achievement or important business deal.
Today, we continue to expand the Cross Collection with cutting-edge designs and multifunctional features. From time-honored classics to new tech-based essentials, Cross Pens become truly one-of-a-kind with a personal engraving. Most Cross Pens can be custom engraved in a variety of styles and gift-wrapped at your request.
No detail is overlooked in the creation of a Cross Pen. Our unsurpassed quality standards and commitment to excellence result in distinctive and exceptionally reliable products for the most discerning of users. All writing instruments are inspected at every stage of production – at least 120 times – to ensure a superior performance. Each instrument is drop-tested nine times in different configurations to guarantee that they’ll remain operational after falling a distance of approximately three feet. Prior to launch, all new finishes are tested for up to 100 hours to ensure that they’re resistant to corrosion and color fading. Every component of every pen is top priority.
To uphold the trust our customers place in Cross, we offer an industry-leading Lifetime Mechanical Warranty that sets us apart from other brands. All Cross writing instruments are unquestionably guaranteed against mechanical failure, regardless of age. Any writing instrument requiring service under this warranty will be replaced with a similar or equivalent item. And all Cross Pens and pencils are designed to be easily refillable and reusable for a lifetime of enjoyment.
