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 from gold and silver. Later, Waldmann developed 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 pen 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 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 leaving the company's own production was made by skilled artisans with many years of experience, using traditional craftsmanship techniques, which they perform with great care and love. Enthusiasm for innovation, modern techniques, and filigree craftsmanship is a long-standing tradition. Just like in the founding year, Waldmann still produces 100% of its writing accessories in Germany today, which is why Waldmann products proudly bear the label “Made in Germany”.

Waldmann is also renowned 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, as well as for high-quality writing products such as Waldmann. This wordplay and its meaning led in 2010 to a collaboration between Süddeutsche Zeitung, one of Germany’s most renowned daily newspapers, and Waldmann, the producer of exclusive writing instruments. 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”.
