List of products by Waterman brand
Waterman is a brand of writing instruments created in New York by Lewis Edson Waterman, a restless businessman who founded the company in 1883 to address the technical shortcomings of fountain pen writing at the time. Just one year later, this brilliant inventor and entrepreneur patented an advancement that revolutionized writing worldwide and propelled Waterman to a leadership position in the industry: the use of capillary action in nib feeders. Since then, the Waterman brand has endured countless ups and downs, most notably the move of its headquarters to France in 1967. However, it has maintained its founding spirit and commendable drive for innovation, virtues that explain why, almost a century and a half after its founding, the Waterman company continues to be a benchmark in the field of handwriting.
