Waterman
American creativity and innovation combined with the proverbial French elegance come together in Waterman fountain pens, a brand founded in New York in 1883, moved to France for business reasons in 1967, and characterized, from the outset, by its pursuit of innovative technical solutions. Nearly 150 years of history have contributed ingenious inventions with the laudable desire to improve the user's writing experience, resulting in patents such as the incorporation of a feeder that leveraged capillary action to regularly supply ink to its nibs in the "regular" model of 1884; the inclusion of a clip that allowed the pen to be attached to pockets in its "clip-clap" fountain pen; the introduction of the retractable nib in the "safety-pen" fountain pen; the first fountain pen with a lever-filling system and ink sac; and the invention of glass ink cartridges. A vast creative background in the technical field combined with aesthetic proposals defined by their undeniable appeal and elegance. All of this explains the commercial success of Waterman fountain pens, their enormous prestige as a brand, and their continued existence as a true icon of writing to this day.
