Waterman Carène Black Sea Fountain Pen

[@bobjob7611]

That is the kind of pen I can see signing countless million dollar deals. Classy and elegant

Thank you for another video Azizah, always a pleasure to see you on the screen!

[@randy-9842]

Appelboom Pennen - thanks for providing this pen (and many others in the past) for review!

[@barbarawest1205]

The first fountain pen I ever bought as an adult was a Waterman LeMans. I decided it was less flashy than a Montblanc, LOL! For many years it was the only fp I owned and I still have it. The Carene is elegant but is probably too slim for my hands. Thanks for the review!

[@randy-9842]

Thanks, Azizah. No surprise, but I agree with Appelboom Pennen - it's always a pleasure to see you (and your reviews) on screen. I own no Watermans nor any inlaid (sp?) nibs, but they intrigue me. It certainly looks like a comfortable and sleek pen.

Hello, you can to utilize international cartridges by Waterman --Pelikan, Faber Castell, Caran d'Ache, Montenegro Blanco,...--. Antonio Saiz, from Alicante, Spain.

I’m glad you used a broad nib. I purchased a Carene with a fine nib, but have also ordered a stub nib, as I now remembered from my school days, before you were born! that I liked italic writing with good contrast between the different pen strokes. When I ordered the pen with fine, I had forgotten that. Your use of a broad nib and you mentioned it was a bit ‘stubby’ really helped me. Cheers 👍

The design is very nice, I definitely have this in the wish list (one day).I remember SBRE found some problem of ink leakage... the nib looks quite stubby but that’s ok.

[@nicholasadams1283]

Thank you. But there are some problems here. Interweb has a lot of stories about leakage. I had serious problems with leaking within the barrel and from what seemed to be from around the nib. I replaced the nib and grip on the recommendation of the dealer where I bought the pen. I ended up shifting to a cartridge--and that solved the problem. I have been advised that the converter was a bad fit. So: I use the pen very happily now but keep your warranty card!

I laughed at your comment about 'adventurous' watermans

[@welee0188]

Mine Carene clip has the sideways issue. Seems like Waterman got QC problems...

Is there a push on to show this pen? I think I got one of these 25+ Years ago, and they haven't changed at all from what I can see in your video. The one I have is Green/Gold.

Doing pen reviews from your bedroom must mean that you are in self - containment from COVID-19 or Brown doesn’t give you a proper desk to use! I have a Carene in Amber and a med. nib with NO issues whatsoever. A smooooth writer and no leakage. Best buy in pens that I have made since my Parker Duofold. Just a s a side note: when I received the pen directly from Waterman, the cartridge leaked over the interior of the case and the literature. CHANGE the way you ship ink Waterman!

Hi Azizah As usual you did a fabelous job, as elegant light and full of elegance as the carene pen Just as an owner of one, I do stick international cartridges in him and it is working just fine, did they change the model? Be and kudos

[@manuelsalazar3938]

I've also read comments and other reviewers say that Waterman is propietary but no, they take international standard size cartridges and converters. I wonder what's happening here...
