BENU’s Tribute Collection celebrates the people, places, ideas and creations that continue to inspire us. For this year’s Christmas Edition, we turn to one of the season’s most cherished stories.

Inspired by Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, this hand painted edition brings together the mystery of a Victorian winter night and the warmth of Christmas. The silver grey material recalls frosty streets, soft moonlight and the quiet, lightly Gothic mood of Scrooge’s journey. At the same time, the painted details add a festive feeling and reflect the hope, kindness and joy at the heart of the story. The result is a Christmas design with a touch of mystery that captures the spirit of one of the season’s most beloved classics.

Step into the opulent parlors and shadowed alleys of Victorian London with Retro51’s newest Tornado™ Popper, inspired by Oscar Wilde’s haunting classic The Picture of Dorian Gray. This limited-edition rollerball captures the tension between unblemished youth and moral decay with a striking gloss black print layered over a light blue-gray, glow-in-the-dark barrel.
The design balances Dorian’s radiant, youthful innocence on the top half against the grotesque, sin-ravaged reality of his hidden portrait below. Surrounding his portraits are the haunting faces of those broken and discarded by his fatal wish—a dark, visual reflection of the heavy price paid for eternal
pleasure.
More than just a writing instrument, this rollerball is a reminder of the secret masks we all wear—the balance of outward vanity and the inner soul. Stealth Black accents sharpen the mood, while the top disc features the DG initials bookending an hourglass, capping the story’s theme of fleeting time.
Only 1031 pieces exist, each engraved on the top ring and packaged in a matching collector’s tube worthy of this timeless gothic masterpiece. Like Dorian’s fleeting innocence, this edition shall not last long—claim yours before it vanishes into the shadows

Some spaces make you instinctively pause, look up, and hold your breath. The new Retro 51 Tornado Vintage Metalsmith Cathedral rollerball captures that exact feeling of stepping into a historic sanctuary.

Look closely at the details:
• 🏛️ An acid-etched and printed architectural design wrapped around a warm, stone-inspired off-white barrel.
• ⚜️ Rich Antique Brass accents that add a deep, old-world character to every twist.
• 🌹 A hidden gem—the top disc is beautifully emblazoned with a miniature Rose Window design that catches the light like stained glass.

Whether you are signing a contract or sketching a dream, it brings a sudden sense of gravity and old-world craftsmanship to the palm of your hand.
