Beautiful silver pen with rhodium-plated elements – Waldmann

The captivating 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 designed 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. For the first time, this master craftsman was 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-action pen included an ink cartridge in the barrel, while the other end of the pen could be used as a fountain pen.

Everything that leaves the company's own production is crafted by skilled artisans with many years of experience using traditional craftsmanship techniques, who perform the manual work with great care and love. Enthusiasm for innovation, novel techniques, and intricate craftsmanship is a long-standing tradition. Just like in the founding year, Waldmann continues to produce 100% of its writing instruments in Germany today, which is why products from the Waldmann factory rightly bear the signature "Made in Germany".

Waldmann also gained fame 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 capable of producing unique writing instruments with this unique and elegant engraving method, done individually. Tradition, quality, and craftsmanship since 1918 - Waldmann has combined them all in its writing instruments.

925 silver is therefore 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 the production of jewellery and coins, but also for the production of high-quality writing products such as Waldmann. This play on words and its meaning led to a collaboration in 2010 between Süddeutsche Zeitung, one of the most renowned 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".
