The Waterman C/F was an innovative fountain pen launched by Waterman in the 1950s. Its main innovation was the use of disposable ink cartridges, a pioneering system that marked a turning point in fountain pen writing. With an elegant, streamlined, and modern design for its time, the C/F combined high-quality materials with a wide variety of finishes. Although production ceased decades ago, it is now highly prized by collectors, both for its historical significance and for the smoothness and precision of its nib.
