The Carene is of a very artful design. Classic. I have the medium nib which is just right for me. The ink flows smoothly in this lovely pen.
Waterman SA now belongs to Newell Brands, headquartered in Paris, France.
I'm proud to own a Carene. One of my favorite fountain pens. Highly recommended.
The balance, the ink flow, the quality of the nib, everything was head and shoulders above my other Waterman (Expert) Yes, the price is significantly higher for the Carene but what a difference in quality! I d0, however, want to add one more thought. I also ordered a higher quality ink with the Carene while with the Expert I ordered the standard Waterman black ink. I'm certain the ink helps but is only a small part in the difference between the pens. My recommendation: Save your pennies and buy the Carene. You will have absolutely no regrets going with the Carene. Enjoy!
The pen body is beautiful, the lacquer finish smooth, and the balance dead on.
But the nib is scratchy, which can be tuned with some micro-mesh. However, the ink flow is so inconsistent and dry, and with the relatively unserviceable inlaid nib (and an expensive pen for me to experiment), the writing experience is intolerable for me to enjoy this beautiful pen.
Maybe I got a lemon, or maybe I should get the medium nib, but this one is going back.
The black deluxe option is the perfect combination of textures and metals for my taste The nib is as smooth as glass in almost all writing positions. I do not find myself shifting the pen looking for a sweet spot. The weight and circumference are very comfortable.
The Fine nib produces the anticipated results. Ink flow and duration using the 'long' cartridges is as expected. It isn't too wet nor is it slow to start after replacing the cartridge.
This is my third Waterman fountain pen in 22 years. The other two were each stolen from my hotel secured luggage. This was the least expensive of the three, but I actually like it the best.
Top reviews from other countries
La scrittura è praticamente perfetta anche con pennino F che risulta un po’ più spesso del normale (ma meno spesso di un pennino M) e che garantisce una fluidità veramente ottima.
Sono MOLTO soddisfatto dell’acquisto
Il est doté d'une plume originale et très élégante en or 18 carats, d'une laque ambre très réussie ( pour ma part ) et de riches détails que je vous laisserais découvrir.
Le stylo semble donc bien solide malgré son attribut central en plastique.
Au niveau de l'écriture, sa plume est bien rigide ce qui laisse un glissé sur le papier que je n'ai jamais vu ailleurs. Par conséquent la fluidité de vos mouvements se rapprochent du stylo bille et l'enre ruisselle habilement et continuellement bien que cela garde le privilège d'être un veritable plume.
Tout dépend donc de vos attentes et de vos goûts.
En ce qui concerne son ouverture, on le retrouve dans une jolie boîte Waterman imitation cuire ( extérieur ) et daim ( intérieur) avec à l'intérieur une cartouche d'encre bleu sérénité et un convertisseur Waterman qui semble lui aussi être de bonne facture.
Il est difficile aujourd'hui d'avoir un stylo aussi travaillé et de bonne qualité avec une plume en or 18 k pour aussi peu chère, d'autant plus que c'est une marque française avec un savoir-faire français.
Par conséquent, je ne peux que conseiller ce stylo des plus extraordinaires et qualitatifs.
When one opens the box.....the pen is impressive to look at....it's a flashy pen.
The build quality is excellent....lacquered metal body with 23kt gold plating with rhodium throughout over a real silver plated cap that also has "palladium" accents !
The nib is solid 18kt yellow gold with rhodium plating....writes fairly wet.... smooth...no skips....balance is excellent !
In my opinion it is half the weight....of a "Parker Premier Fountain Pen" and with the excellent balance makes this pen a comfortable all day pen to use.
The only complaint I have is the Waterman's pen box....it is the same box that houses all the various models of Waterman's pens and I feel for the cost of the pen.... the boxes for the.. "Waterman's Carene" ...should be a little higher quality....maybe to most... that's not important anyways.......so....
How Is It ?........I would recommend this pen....the price is right.....one is getting what they pay for.
However, as for the nib – FINE means medium-fine. It could not be compared with Japan standards for nib.
The best part of it, is that it slides over the paper. There is a negligible feat-back, no pronounced line variation, but it's gorgeous and classy.
I'am 100% sure that the production of this pen (only as materials) is less than $20 (inc. the metal, ca. 0.35g 18K gold and factory expenses), but all we, fountain pen lovers, pay for the distinction and the astonishment we get when this pen is in your hand! The time is money, the money are promises, but this is real master piece. BTW, very ingenious one.
