In this video, I review the Waterman Carène Contemporary Gun Metal (medium nib). This is one of many models in the Carène series, and it is somewhat peculiarly designed with its deep grooves. I really like the modern look of this pen, but I'm sure this specific model is not for everyone. So if you like the overall design (nib, cap, etc.), just check out the Waterman website: there are many models that look a bit more 'classic'!

  • Thanks for that...will have a look for one!

  • @20conv Let me know what you get in the end - I'd love to hear what you think about the pen!

  • What's your recommendation for a broad wet nib?

  • @20conv A 14k broad Visconti. Or, if you'd like something (significantly) cheaper, a Sheaffer Prelude with a broad nib. I think my Sheaffer Prelude has one of the broadest and wettest nibs I own (if you're interested, check out my review of that pen for a writing sample).

  • is this puppy smoother than your "Oprah" elements?

  • @arweiss21 It's close, but I think the Opera Elements is smoother!

  • @atosov I'm sorry to hear that. I think these are nice pens, but of course, they should work!

  • @sbrebrown thanks for your reply ...wow that's a lot of detail ...ok may be I will try some waterman pen ,thanks for your kind again.

  • I have a Carène that I bought in the late '90s, and it has never worked properly, despite my sending it in to Jaynestown for adjustment or replacement three times. It has always had either too much or too little ink flow, and the nib has never moved smoothly on the page. It looks and feels great, but I think that Waterman quality went down the toilet when the company was taken over by Gillette or whoever owns it now.

  • @shrumpkin So am I :-). Still got a couple of videos shot and cut that I have to upload, then I'll record the nib comparison ;-).
