Waterman Pens

The Waterman pen company is a major manufacturer of luxury fountain pens and was founded in 1884, New York City by Lewis Edson Waterman and is regarded as one of the few remaining first-generation fountain pen companies.

Early Waterman pens were made of hard rubber and were equipped with 14K gold nibs. From early on, precious metal trim and overlays were offered. Many are still in use today, and their nibs are prized for their smoothness and flexibility.
