Waterman Exception Fountain Pen

This collection represents a truly unique offering, sourced directly from the personal archives of a former CEO of Parker Waterman USA. As such, it presents an extraordinary opportunity to acquire writing instruments with significant historical and developmental value. Notably, the collection includes several prototype pens, providing a rare glimpse into the innovative design processes and experimental craftsmanship inherent in the creation of these iconic brands. These prototypes, all confirmed to be in working order, offer a fascinating perspective on the evolution of pen technology and aesthetics, making this a highly desirable acquisition for discerning collectors and enthusiasts.

The Waterman Exception exemplifies technical ingenuity. The design and engineering of this prestigious pen required considerable skill to achieve not only visual appeal and functional excellence but also a superior tactile experience. The Exception’s distinctive lines are intended to inspire the writer, reflecting Waterman’s tradition of creating masterful writing instruments.

The pen’s aesthetic is characterized by the striking contrast of luxurious silky black lacquer and contemporary silver-plated trim, resulting in a distinctly modern style.

The intricately engraved rhodium-plated 18K solid gold nib showcases a contemporary interpretation of the WATERMAN Ideal and globe signature.
