Condition and information:
We have difficulty understanding how can a barrel and cap be made in this shape, when it seems as they are not cast.
The pen is extremely heavy, over 52gr., that puts it in a super heavy category out there, and when holding it, it really feels as holding an instrument which is more than a pen, it gets another meaning completely. Most importantly, the curvature is mean to just lie/rest/bend over the hand. Even if the pen is rotated in a different direction, it will naturally always take that position, curving over the hand, posted or not. The pen has several cool details worth mentioning:
- The clip and clip holder are asymmetric and made out of silver
- The clip is spring-loaded, and it is suspended inside the clip holder as a lever, so one can press the back side of the clip, and the clip will rise/open
- The pen can stand upright in any position, cap down; barrel down, or even upright when posted
- Instead of the front tip unscrewing, the sterling silver grip section rotates and it pushes the sterling silver tip of the pen upwards. This is done in order not to have the refill and collar rotating inside the barrel, rather the section rotates, i.e. the inside thread is the one that rotates, quite ingenious design
- The small Waterman inlaid plate on the top of the barrel is also silver, and it serves as a slot for the clip, so to make the posting easy, precise and it serves as a resting place for the clip as not to damage the barrel edge when the cap is posted
- The inlaid circular button/plate inside the back of the barrel is also silver. This is where the serial number of the pen is imprinted and its believed to be the number of the pen made in this series, in this case this pen would be No. 4197
- The pen can use both rollerball and ballpoint pen refills, as it was originally sold with both, but it can also use the correct size fineliner refills
Few excerpts from Waterman's brochure inside the box:
- Surpassing convention, the Serenite pen draws on the forces of nature to release its own energy. It shows us the world in a new light, in a moment of endless plentitude, a moment of Serenite.
- Witness with Serenite an amazing balance of all that is pure and original. It will stand upright, cap on or off - something no one else has dared try. Its curve mocks the elements bowing in the wind, only to come back standing.
- The brilliance of the silver is offset by the deep blue lacquer. One's gaze is lost between day and night, between sparkle and darkness.
- The solid silver clip stretches out... there is only one position for the pen with its cap on and only one with its cap off.
