Beautiful brown-silver ballpoint pen - Waldmann

The timeless history of the Waldmann company began in 1918. In Pforzheim, the traditional German jewellery metropolis in the Black Forest, as a manufacturing plant 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 colour pen systems obtained worldwide patents. This master craftsman was first honoured at the world exhibition in Paris in 1937, namely with a silver medal for the four-colour action pencil. Subsequent patents were successful, including the legendary "Two-in-One" in 1972. This push 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 perform with great care and love for handwork. Enthusiasm for innovation, novel 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 products from the Waldmann manufactory rightly bear the signature "Made in Germany".

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

925 silver is therefore a precious metal alloy 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 jewellery and coins, but also for the production of high-quality writing instruments such as Waldmann. This play on words and meaning led in 2010 to a collaboration between Süddeutsche Zeitung, one of the most well-known German daily newspapers, and the producer of elegant writing articles Waldmann. The coveted "Edelfeder" series, which since 2011 has been not only an essential part of the Waldmann collection, was also created and designed in honour of outstanding journalistic achievements in "Edelfeder".
