Since our founding in 1846 by Richard Cross, we’ve been rewriting the rules for fine writing instruments. Richard, a passionate advocate for writing as an art form, established the A.T. Cross Company in Providence, Rhode Island. His son, Alonzo Townsend Cross, continued the legacy, revolutionizing the industry with patented inventions. Today, as a global innovator, Cross crafts top-performing pens distributed in 140 countries, combining inventive designs, meticulous attention to detail, and renowned craftsmanship to evolve with modern living and working.
From the iconic Peerless Fountain Pen to intricate gold and silver pencil casings, Cross Pens mark generations’ personal and professional milestones. The Cross Collection expands with cutting-edge designs, offering personalized engravings for a unique touch. Rigorous quality standards ensure reliability, with pens drop-tested and finishes checked for corrosion resistance. The Townsend, known as The Pen of Presidents, and Century II, chosen for White House signing ceremonies, solidify our place in history. With an industry-leading Lifetime Mechanical Warranty, Cross Pens are designed for a lifetime of enjoyment, a testament to our global leadership in the fine writing industry.
