📖 An era of ink and genius: This fountain pen is part of an extraordinary collection of Waterman who wanted to represent the stone set in the metal evolving not only a writing tool, but a symbol of elegance and spirituality, combining the goldsmith's art with the beauty of artistic masterpieces. Waterman is one of the most iconic brands in the history of fountain pens, with a tradition that dates back to 1883. Founded in New York by Lewis Edson Waterman, the company has played a crucial role in the development and spread of the modern fountain pen. Legend has it that Lewis Waterman, at the time insurer, lost an important contract due to a pen that stubborn the document, thinking that previously it was written with the feather and inkish pen. Determined to solve the problem, in 1884 he patented a capillarity feeding system that guaranteed a constant ink flow, avoiding losses and interruptions during writing. This system, known as "multi-channel power supply", represented a turning point in the sector and was the basis of the company's initial success. In 1888, the company took the name of Le Waterman Company. The brilliant Lewis Edson Waterman of whom I HAVE a profound admiration, among the following innovations they nod: in 1904 he invented and introduced the clip in his production to fix the pen to the pocket. In 1907 he launched the famous "Safety Pen" pen, a loss-proof retractable pen. In 1913 he implemented the lever charging system, which remained a standard for decades, this determines his activity as a great genius of unparalleled ability, a revolutionary and tenacious man who changed the history of the fountain pen, whose inheritance still arrives today among our hands by challenging a fountain pen!
