Waterman Serenite Blue Rollerball Pen

With a graceful bow to the past and a sage view of the future Waterman's Serenite embraces cultures and eras known by few. Its sleek and curved body speaks a language of poetry and calm through the contrast of its matte solid silver trim against the stark beauty of its body. The Serenite  is a special edition series pen with flat cap and barrel ends allowing the pen to stand alone on either end. Each pen is engraved France and numbered on the silver disk on the bottom of the barrel. These pens have a sterling silver strip engraved with Waterman to receive the pen clip when the cap is posted. Rollerball Pen Features: Hand polished metallic blue lacquer finish barrel and cap. Sterling silver clip trim and center ring. 1 standard rollerball cartridge.

Let the next millennium be a haven. Calmer, more humane, more serene, finding gentleness in a pen so that the only violence may be that of words.

Let it also be a rejection. A rejection of being trapped by the keys of a keyboard. A rejection of becoming enmeshed in the flickering lines of a screen. A rejection of the telex, of the fax, and of the facsimile. A rejection of the digital voice and of digitalized thoughts. And of communicating solely by impersonal e-mail.

Since 1883, WATERMAN makes each writing instrument an object of wonder. At this most advanced state of its evolution, this pen does what no other has dared do before; it stands upright. It stands upright open, it stands upright closed and reinvigorates writing with a new strength, a new life. This is why W A T E R M A N is engraved on the nib upright.

The Waterman pen company is a major manufacturer of luxury fountain pens. Established in 1884 in New York City by Lewis Edson Waterman,[1] it is one of the few remaining first-generation fountain pen companies, as Waterman S.A..

Early Waterman pens were made of hard rubber and were equipped with 14K gold nibs. From early on, precious metal trim and overlays were offered. Many are still in use today, and their nibs are prized for their smoothness and flexibility.

Waterman's high production volume from c. 1900 on means that vintage examples are comparatively easy to find today. The most common models from the hard rubber era are the #12 slip-cap eyedropper, the #52 screw-cap lever-filler, and the #42 retracting-nib safety pen. Though largely ignored by present-day collectors, the Waterman C/F of 1953 introduced the modern plastic ink cartridge.

In 1983 and celebrating the company's 100th anniversary, Waterman created the Le Man 100, aiming its products at the luxury writing market. Former French President François Mitterrand was known for carrying two wherever he went. Other designs that went on to be a landmark in luxury writing were the Lady Elsa and Lady Patricia contemporary writing pens.

As Waterman progressed into the modern era, it produced many of the pens that are still available today including the Edson, the Exception, the Philéas, the Hémisphère, the Expert, the Harmonie, the Charleston, the Ici et Là, the Audace, the Sérénité, the Liaison and the Carène.
