Classic pencil from Germany - Waldmann

The fascinating history of the Waldmann brand began in 1918. In Pforzheim, the traditional German jewelry metropolis in the Black Forest, as a manufacturing facility for high-class push-action and twist-action pencils made of gold and silver. Waldmann then developed and produced fountain pens and ballpoint pens made from metals such as brass, silver, or 18-carat gold! Waldmann writing instruments with special rotary mechanisms for 2 and 4 color pen systems received world patents. For the first time, this master craftsman was honored at the World Exhibition in Paris in 1937, namely with a silver medal for the four-color action pencil. Subsequent patents were successful, including the legendary "Two-in-One" in 1972. This push pen with a pen contained an ink cartridge in the barrel, while the other end of the pen could be used as a fountain pen.

Everything that leaves the manufactory's own production has been crafted by skilled artisans with many years of experience using traditional craftsmanship techniques, which they carry out with great care and love for manual work. Enthusiasm for innovation, novel techniques, and delicate craftsmanship is a long-standing tradition. Just like in the founding year, Waldmann still produces 100% of its writing instruments in Germany today, which is why products from the Waldmann manufactory rightfully bear the signature "Made in Germany".

Waldmann also became renowned as a specialist in unusual finishes for writing accessories. The old art of engraving deserves special attention. Only a few master engravers still master the "Viennese pattern," and only Waldmann is capable of producing unique writing instruments with this unique and elegant engraving method, done individually. Tradition, quality, and craftsmanship since 1918 - Waldmann has combined them all into its writing instruments.

925 silver is therefore an alloy of precious metals consisting of 92.5% silver and 7.5% other materials. It is a harder and more stable alloy, making it ideal for the production of jewelry and coins, but also for the production of high-quality writing products like Waldmann. This play on words and meaning led to a collaboration in 2010 between Süddeutsche Zeitung, one of the most well-known German daily newspapers, and the exclusive writing articles manufacturer Waldmann. The coveted "Edelfeder" series, which since 2011 has been not only an essential part of the Waldmann collection but was also created and designed in honor of outstanding journalistic achievements in "Edelfeder".
