Waterman "Preface" fountain pen
This classic fountain pen comes in blue, red, brown marble and basic black, and Bob Slate salesperson Brian Oles says it's a favorite year-round. Sporting a solid 18 carat gold nib, the Preface has a simple, clean design and minimal leakage that has received rave reviews from customers.
"With levelly understated lines, it's elegant without being overstated," Oles says. A special item to spice up signatures and love letters, or just a luxurious way for your friend to do her problem sets.
