French entrepreneur Marcel Bich started a writing revolution in 1950 when he introduced the first BIC Cristal ballpoint pen. Now called the BIC Cristal Original, it offered fast smudge-free writing. His invention offered an unbeatable trio: a point, a perfectly spherical ball, and high-quality ink manufactured in the BIC plants. Since then, BIC has been tirelessly improving the BIC Cristal pen. Over the years, the pen has gradually been made lighter and the ink is always being perfected for writing with an ever-gentler touch. A ubiquitous object known and loved by all, for decades the BIC Cristal ballpoint pen has been an everyday part of life for countless people in every field from business to art. It is even part of the permanent collection at the Musée d'Art Moderne/Pompidou Centre in Paris and the New York Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) where visitors still marvel at its timeless design. Because only BIC is as good as BIC.
