History of Waterman

Waterman’s first pen was invented in 1884, from the loss of a big sale with a client due to a leaking fountain pen. Lewis Edson Waterman invented the ‘Three Fissure Feed’, which was the first pen to prevent excessive discharge of ink when the pen is in use. In 1888, the company originally named the “Idea Pen Company” was renamed to the LE Waterman Company.

In 1899, Waterman developed the ‘Spoon Feed’ supplying system, to prevent ink overflow and in 1900, LE Waterman Company received a Gold Medal of Excellence at the “Exposition Universelle” in Paris.

Throughout the next century many more innovations were made. In 1904, the pen clip is invented, allowing the pen to be help in a pocket, and in the same year the company introduces 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 more pens were designed, but more notably in 1953, the CF model was introduced, which was the first model to include the now iconic Waterman clip design. In 1953 the plastic pen cartridge was welcomed to the range.

A new factory in Saint-Herblain was opened in 1967, followed by Francine Gomez being appointed to the CEO of JIF-Waterman. The company celebrated it’s 100^th 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 Newall Brands group and continued to introduce new collections of pens, such as the Audace and Perspective along with the Elegance – the ultimate pen jewel.
