Jinhao 15


It is said that the Jinhao 15 is designed after the tower of Guangzhou. Other voices remark the striking resemblance with a famous Waterman pen, called Sérénité.

It comes in red, wine-red, black and blue, has a hooded nib and writes 0.35 mm lines. It closes with a click. The converter is a slide converter.

The quality is quite good - as usual for Jinhao pens.

Slimming down

Update: I started selling - see my sales pages : In order to sell most of my pens, I first had to made up my mind what I want to keep. May I present here my target collection, the ones to keep. It is a page in progress, there are still many holes in the data. Waldmann Pens Counting from the left, pen 1-4, 7-10 are the same model: the model Precieux (Deep Wide) Lines in Sterling silver. Pen 8-10 are the original model (fountain pen, mechanical pencil and ball-pen). Pen 1-4 are the yellow-gold vermeil version of it (mechanical pencil, rollerball, ball-pen and fountain pen) and pen 7 is the rose-gold vermeil version of the fountain pen. The rose-gold fountain pen has a rose-gold-plated 18k nib. Pen 6 is the same model in steel, coated in black (Waldmann P2000). But it is not a typical steel, it is  a recycled steel from gun barrels recycled by the German police. It is a limited edition, meanwhile sold out. Read more about it here . Unfortunately, the silver model is meanwhile als...

Waldmann Pen's catalogs 2008-2024

The company Waldmann Pens exists since more than 100 years. Due to destruction of the Waldmann factory including the archives during WWII, all information before this event is lost. After the death of the founder in 1964, the owner changed several times until in 2007, the recent owner, Stefan Schnirch, took over. And only since his start, catalogs of the produced models exist. You can see and download the catalogs from 2008 until 2024 from my Goggle Drive. I got permission from Mr. Schnirch to offer them here. GoogleDrive

My cafe at the Boulevard St.Michel is now relocated into a shopping mall in Japan

Once upon a time, I was young and was studying for my thesis in Paris (at the end of the 1980s). Every Saturday morning, I went by Metro to a cafe at the Boulevard St.Michel. I don't remember the name but it looks like it is called "Le Lutece" now. I bought a German newspaper, had my coffee and wrote some to do memos for the next week. Now, 35 years later, Paris is too far away and such kind of cafes do not exist in Narita (Japan). So, I am going by bicycle to a shopping mall. I am also buying groceries here and there. I am using a back-pack and shopping consists of regular  removing all the contents of my back-pack and repacking them. I am always afraid that I would loose my pens when doing this, so I have a special pen set for this "coffee-drinking-shopping". This is it. A leather daily diary and a leather pen box and some famous pens. I gotcha.  Everything in this picture is not what it looks like.  While the pen box is described as "leather" on Ali...
