Waterman Carène Black Sea GT Fountain Pen

Waterman Carène Black Sea GT fountain pen

The distinctive tapered design of the Carène line and a timeless, classicist combination of materials and colours, comprising a barrel and cap coated in glossy black lacquer and various gold-plated metal decorative elements, are the hallmarks of the premium Waterman Carène Black Sea GT fountain pen. This is one of many models in this fascinating collection of writing instruments and a superb example of the refinement of Waterman's craftsmanship and the unquestionable expertise of the master craftsmen who hand-make and assemble them at its French plant.

The Carène line is one of Waterman's most luxurious collections and an aesthetic marvel defined by its original design, inspired by the hydrodynamic shapes of boats and characterized by its sharp, streamlined forms. Beyond their distinctive shapes, meticulous workmanship, and the rich materials of their various models, if anything distinguishes the fountain pens in the Carène collection, it is the unusual morphology of their nibs. Unlike most pens, they are embedded in the grip section, blending their silhouette with that of the latter.

Among the various decorative elements that enliven the surface of Carène fountain pens, the most notable are their clip, equipped with the characteristic central groove of Waterman pins, the ring located where the grip section meets the barrel, its strong culotte and the fine ornamental band located at the bottom of the cap, which has the brand name engraved around its circumference.

As already mentioned, the nib of this model is recessed into the grip section, is crafted from solid 18K gold, is supplied with ink via a cartridge or converter system, and features a simple engraved decoration consisting of the Waterman logo, formed by a double-v inscribed within a hexagon, and the inescapable reference to the purity of the gold used in its manufacture. This exceptional component is available in a limited range of nib points, covering fine (F) and medium (M).

The Carène pens are presented in a magnificent premium dark blue gift box.
