Waterman Limited Edition Edson 125 years Fountain Pen

The year 2008 marks the 125th anniversary of the founding of the Waterman Pen Company in 1883 and Waterman celebrates this occasion with a refined and contemporary fountain pen. The cap and barrel are palladium plated and the trim is silver plated. The barrel reflects a modern interpretation of the use of a filigree design, a technique introduced by Waterman over 100 years ago. In this new recreation, the metal is first hollowed out by master craftsmen to reveal the detailed design. Lacquer is then meticulously applied and then the piece is polished to reveal the contrast between the sheen of white metal and the dark brilliance of deep blue lacquer. The cap is finely engraved with a delicate design that is an extension of the barrel design. This limited edition is enhanced with a medium width, rhodium plated, 18 kt gold nib, cartridge/converter fill.
