Stylish hand-engraved fountain pen, perfect as a gift - Waldmann

The unique history of Waldmann began in 1918 in Pforzheim, the traditional German jewelry metropolis in the Black Forest, as a high-quality manufacturing plant of push-action and twist-action pencils made from gold and silver. Later, Waldmann designed and produced fountain pens and ballpoint pens crafted from metals such as brass, silver, or 18-karat gold! Waldmann writing instruments with special rotating mechanisms for 2- and 4-color systems received worldwide patents. For the first time, this master craftsman was honored at the 1937 World Expo in Paris with a silver medal for a four-color push-action pencil. Subsequent patents were successful, including the legendary “Two-in-One” in 1972. This push pen with a nib contained an ink cartridge in the barrel, and the other end of the pen could be used as a fountain pen.

Everything leaving the manufactory’s own production has been crafted by skilled artisans with many years of experience, using traditional craftsmanship techniques performed with great care and love for handmade work. Enthusiasm for innovation, pioneering techniques, and filigree craftsmanship is a long-standing tradition. Just as in the founding year, Waldmann still produces 100% of its writing instruments in Germany today, which is why products from Waldmann are rightly branded with “Made in Germany”.

Waldmann is also renowned as a specialist in unusual finishes for writing accessories. Notably, the old art of engraving deserves special attention. Only a few master engravers still master the “Viennese pattern,” and only Waldmann can produce unique writing instruments with this distinctive and elegant engraving method, performed individually. Tradition, quality, and craftsmanship since 1918 — Waldmann has combined them all in its writing instruments.

Silver 925 is 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 jewelry and coins, as well as for high-quality writing instruments such as Waldmann. This wordplay and meaning led in 2010 to a collaboration between Süddeutsche Zeitung, one of Germany’s most renowned daily newspapers, and the luxury writing instrument manufacturer Waldmann. The coveted “Edelfeder” series, which has been an integral part of the Waldmann collection since 2011, was also created and designed in honor of outstanding journalistic achievements in “Edelfeder”.
