What a particularly beautiful pen. If I bought pens strictly on looks, I would already have this one. I believe this style of nib is referred to as an inlaid nib.
The Carene is one of my top 5 I have. I love it to death. Every time I use, I am just wowed at how well I enjoy writing with it. I have the Amber Marine and love the look of it too. The pen is one of those rare pens that posts deeply and securely and because it post so deep, almost being the same size as not posted, the center of balance is dead center. When I use it, I often say, I waited too long to get this pen. I wanted it for a long time, but fears of leaking from the ink hole. So far no problem (knock on wood). All Waterman pens have that slit in the clip. I hope you enjoy the pen for years to come.
Funny story, I bought a waterman carene in medium and didn't like it so I sold it immediately. Then I had the opportunity to buy a RED one with a fine nib for a great price so I did and I liked it much better. Then kirk speer ground it into a monoline and I'm in LOVE with it
What a beauty! I have this one on my list for this year. It's interesting that it seems to write broader but i do like a thicker line sometimes. Enjoy it!
Gosh! I received a pen on 31 December, and I'm hoping to last a short while before i succumb to the lure of another one 😄 But the Carène is gorgeous! My partner has one, but we're not sure where it is 😢
I love Waterman pens and this one is a must have for me this year of 2025... And yes Waterman's are wet writers. Enjoy your new in this new year. Happy New Years, stay bless.
The Carene is one of my dream pens. ❤ It looks like I'll should get an F when the time comes. I usually get M or B nibs since I write quite big, but this pen seems to be a real gusher. 😁
What's up Brittany! Waterman is an awesome Brand. I do not have this pen because I am afraid of nibs shaped like that, but I do have the Expert and the Hemisphere. You have what should be a reliable pen for a very long time. I carry my Expert with me everyday and my #1 goto pen along with whatever else I want to carry. Let me know if that thing is a monster to clean?💜
Have had my amber Waterman Carene for over 20 years, you have invested in a classic! Enjoy!
I just got the amber for Christmas, it's a fantastic pen!

how fun, this pen has been tempting me too
Love my Waterman! I have the Sea Green Simmer Carene in fine, and it writes like a generous medium! They all write broader, regardless of the ink...

I just got the blue and silver Carene in the end of year sale and it is an absolutely gorgeous and smooth writer. I am so happy for you.
That is so great to hear! I hope you enjoy it and thank you!

Yes, but super smooth!
Always liked the look of this pen model.
Classy! I like the unusual nib and end finial.
This pen is on my list for 2025! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you, and Happy New Year to you as well!
I agree with you regarding the width of the medium nib. It’s a bit wider than I expected. I wonder if it’s possible to buy a fine replacement nib.
Love this pen. I may have to add it to my 2025 Wishlist
I’m sure you will love it! 😊

Thanks. What worries you about the nib?
@@CarrotsOlives Cleaning; I'd be so concerned about not getting up under that nib to make sure the ink is out.
I have a fine for trade :)
Thank you for the offer, but I haven’t had enough time with my pen yet
