Waterman Carène L'essence du Bleu fountain pen

The Waterman Carène L'essence du Bleu fountain pen features one of the most striking and refined finishes in the Carène collection of writing instruments. It features a brilliant blue lacquer-coated barrel and a captivating palladium-plated metal cap with a delightful chiseled wave pattern. This superb aesthetic is complemented by various ornamental details in lustrous palladium-plated metal, which, together with the aforementioned details, constitute a splendid example of the magnificence and luxury achieved by products manufactured and assembled by hand in Waterman's French factory.

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 and is crafted from solid 18K gold, fitted, in this case, with a rhodium mask to harmonize with the silver-colored trim of this pen. It 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 in 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 thicknesses, covering fine (F) and medium (M).

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