General
In 1884 the Waterman Pen Company was established in New York City by Lewis Waterman, being still 123 years later one of the few remaining first-generation fountain pen brands, known as “Waterman S.A.” This Waterman Expert Mk II Fountain Pen (2002-2012) comes from France and was most probably made around 2012.
Features
Waterman positioned their pen very specifically as: self-assured, Parisian style, free-flowing, skip-free writing, fits comfortably in your hand, available in a choice of colours and finishes. Last but not least – made in France. The earlier models of Expert are now highly collectable. Furthermore, Waterman Fountain pens supposed to be are the epitome of sophistication and status. Confirming our own Amor Poetico selection, their unique, streamlined nib delivers the finest in poetry, movement, personalisation, and design. Waterman claims that these nibs glide smoothly across the paper, delivering fluid curves with…grace and authority. When tested, everything worked just right “out of the box”, which is not always the case with some other designs.
Comment
Designed and made in France, the writing style is smooth and assured, with a satisfying feel as the nib glides easily across the paper. In the collector and professional worlds, where first impressions count, the Waterman Expert II is a fine and modern writing pen you can rely on to deliver.
