History of Waterman
Waterman is one of the original pen brands dating back to 1884. American inventor Lewis Edson Waterman was an insurance salesman who, to impress clients, purchased a reservoir pen. These pens were severely flawed, often leaking and actually cost him sales. From this terrible misfortune he decided to improve on the invention and went on to develop the three-stream fountain pen and create the ‘Ideal Pen Company’. In 1888 The company was renamed to the LE Waterman Company.
Over the next century this family business went from strength to strength. Continuing to invent and innovate. In 1904 the pen clip was invented allowing the pen to be held in a pocket, and in the same year the company introduced Safety, the first completely ink-flow-proof retractable pen.
In 1926, Jules Fagard created the JIF-Waterman company in France, where the pens would be manufactured. Over the next 30 years many new pens were designed. In 1953 the plastic pen cartridge was introduced to the range.
The company celebrated its 100th anniversary in 1983 with the Man 100 pen, which became an icon for fine writing pens. Waterman continued going from strength to strength with five new pen ranges in the 1990’s, including the Expert, Edson, Hémisphère, Carène and Serenite. In 2001 Waterman entered the Newell Brands group and continued to introduce new collections of pens, such as the Audace and Perspective along with the Elegance – the ultimate pen jewel.
