Unique hand-engraved white and pink pencil - Waldmann

The beautiful 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 of gold and silver. Later, Waldmann developed and produced fountain pens and ballpoint pens made 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 World Exhibition in Paris in 1937, receiving a silver medal for the four-color push 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 produced by the company’s own manufacturing is made by skilled artisans with many years of experience using traditional craftsmanship techniques, who perform their work with great care and love. Enthusiasm for innovation, modern techniques, and intricate craftsmanship is a long-standing tradition. Just as in the founding year, Waldmann still produces 100% of its writing accessories in Germany today, which is why products from Waldmann are rightfully branded “Made in Germany”.

Waldmann has also gained fame as a specialist in unusual finishes for writing accessories. Notably, the old art of engraving deserves special mention. 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, done individually. Tradition, quality, and craftsmanship since 1918 — Waldmann has combined them all in its writing instruments.

925 silver 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, but also for high-quality writing instruments such as Waldmann. This play on words and meaning led in 2010 to a collaboration between Süddeutsche Zeitung, one of Germany’s most well-known daily newspapers, and Waldmann, the producer of exclusive writing articles. 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”.
