Conception/Création : Reflexgroup


A legendary name, creator of the first refillable fountain pen: Lewis Edson Waterman, founder of the brand. The timeless design is enhanced by the sumptuous, luminous interplay of precious resin, gold, and platinum surfaces,culminating in the exquisite beauty of the unique nib set into the barrel. A technological gem, infinitely reliable,retaining the smoothness of its ink flow even at altitude. Beneath the 18-carat solid gold nib, the ultimate pleasure in writing.

To celebrate its 125th birthday (2008), WATERMAN has created EDSON 125 ans. A limited edition of 1883 pens to mark the year in which the brand was born. With this jewel of a writing instrument, an artistic union of lacquerand palladium, EDSON 125 ans marks the event with the most elegant of fountain pens.
