I am really curious about the Carene. It is definitely one of my dream pens. It is rarely reviewed though. Great video by the way!

It's beautiful! Waterman doesn't get the attention they deserve these days. They make some really great pens that write very well out of the box unlike so many other brands. Most of their current models have been around forever! They're quite conservative and don't experiment a whole lot, sticking to the basics. I wish they brought back so many of their discontinued models. Their Serenity fountain pen was unlike any other pen out there!

This and the pilot e95s are the most elegant looking pens around. Inset nibs really make pens look great.

I just ordered this beautiful pen. I have two other Carenes, one in amber and another in black, but this one has been gnawing at me since I watched this video. I love these pens and I'm sure I will enjoy the L'Essence du Bleu version at least as much as the other two. I do wish the broad was widely available but it's a small thing. Thanks for your excellent video and a Happy New Year to you and your family!

It is quite stiff with no flex at all. It behaves a lot like a steel nib in that respect, but not in the feedback respect.

@@peterpete5848 Thanks for the response! I think that's why I love Aurora nibs so much. Smooth, but always just enough feedback. I have a Caran d'Ache which is just SOOO smooth. It's a very nice nib, don't get me wrong, but it's just SOOO smooth and free of feedback, it's not quite the same, if that makes sense. Is the Exception got a little more flex? My only complaint with the Carene is that it's a bit like writing with a nail.

I finally got one of these a couple of months ago (had been backordered a while). Watermans are usually viewed as rather humdrum by collectors, but his pen is something special. I got it in a Fine, and the Waterman fine was finer and less feedbacky than a Graf von Faber Castell EF. As a writer, it's absolutely smooth, very little feedback, no skips or hard starts. The nib itself, while gold, has almost no flex to it, behaving more like a steel nib in that respect. The main con in my book is that it's a cartridge/converter rather than piston-fill, which I always find superior. It's a little pricey but not overly so for a special edition pen with a gold nib that's such a smooth writer. (I have mine inked with Waterman Mysterious Blue, which I far prefer over the Serenity Blue ink used in the video)

Lovely pen, I love the silver/blue combo. I have the same Carene model with black body and gold accents, it’s a dream to write with, so smooth. I had been wanting to add a Waterman to my collection and I’m so happy with the decision, now I want the silver and blue model.

I LOVE THIS PEN. Yes, I've said it and I shouted it. I LOVE THIS PEN! It has one of the most unique nibs I have ever written with. I've got a medium nib as well. I am now going to go after one with a broad nib via Appelbloom. This nib is like...magic or something. I love writing with it. I keep it inked all the time. So glad you had a similar experience and that you love how it writes too!!!

Welcome to my world....I have tried just about every pen out there.....I had totally turned my nose up at Waterman for years, until I tried one....Now I am well on my way to building a complete collection of the Carene line. You should check out the Coral one as that is my latest purchase. I was lucky enough to find new old stock of the Coral and it is wonderful. On point to your pen, I have that one too and it is much more beautiful in person than come across on the video.

🥰 The only thing I can afford about the lineup is to pronounce it “le sense do blue”. Do you see that blue? It so plays well against the silver. Your nail color even matched 🤪 I would like to get the Exception, when I can. I have only seen one review of the Exception which is a slim pen. Have you had a chance to touch the slim Watermans?
