This pen is made in France and measures 13.7cm with cap, 12.0cm without cap. The diameter at front section, where you hold it, 9.6cm. It is a very comfortable length and grip.It is medium weight at 27g and exceptionally well balanced. The ink flow is generous and the pen writes very smoothly and easily.The cap clips on neatly and securely without too much effort. The cap posts very securely with no wobbles.The pen comes with an ink converter for bottled ink, which will save money in the long term. Waterman pens usually use generic universal ink cartridges which can be obtained cheaply but if you buy a serious pen like this it would be a shame to use cheap ink.Overall this is an exceptional pen to write with and comfortable all day long.

The aesthetic of the pen really is wonderful, it's understated but elegant, with great attention to detail on the engraving on the gold trim.I bought this on Prime Day at a much lower price point than retail, if I was to buy this at retail it would probably only be 3 stars due to the occasional skipping and general build quality at the higher price point.To elaborate on the skipping, it's usually an issue with the first stroke, but seems to happen more frequently in longer writing sessions, this could be down to poor writing technique on my behalf, but I've never had the issue with the other pens I've used. I rarely have problems with skipping whilst writing slowly too,

The beginning of this review was when I first boughtthe penAmazing pen!Incredibly smooth to write with and very slick looking. Takes normal universal ink cartridges. The box may be the best thing about it it may be the nicest boxes I have ever seen a product in it is incredibly soft.All round a stunning pen and would recommend for anyone.So it has been four years close to 5 since I received the pen and it’s still working like a dream.And it has not had a easy ride. I bought it at the start of my GCSE course and it was the only pen I used for the whole thing including all my exams.I am now in the final few weeks of my A-levels and it continues to be the only pen I use.

The Waterman Hemisphere range are reliable and solidly built (I use both the roller ball and the fountain pen variants). The fact that the main body of the pen is a sturdy metal adds much needed weight and also means that you don't necessarily need the lid on rear of the pen to balance out the weight. It's construction also means that it doesn't show wear and tear as easily as other pens do.As other customers have pointed out - the pen does take a while to get flowing if it hasn't been used in a while. I use this pen with red ink for my marking and, when it is in full flow, it is a pleasant pen to write with and my standard everyday pen.To any would-be purchasers out there - This is a great

I bought this pen from an Amazon seller some years ago before Amazon were actually selling it themselves. My pen came as part of a gift pack which included the converter and a bottle of Florida Blue Waterman ink.I must say I have been very happy with it. I didn't use the also included cartridge at all but fitted the converter right away. The pen has never skipped or failed to write at any point, and even if I am working on carbon copies it will work legibly through all three layers without having to apply much pressure to the nib. The Waterman inks are rather wetter than some so may be rather heavy on some types of paper, making it possible to write on one side only because the ink marks will be visible on the other.

I have two Hemispheres: the nibs are very smooth indeed and have good ink flow, although the fine nib is a bit 'drier' than the medium ones.On the negitive side: the plastic finger grip is a little slippery to hold; also, the nib has very little character to the stroke. The medium nib is noticeably broader than a M fitted to a Waterman Expert (which is slightly less smooth initially).It's a fairly small (thin) pen and I don't care to use it for long essays, but it is a good note-taking pen, although I don't find it a particularly 'expressive' writer.Nevertheless, I was tempted to buy another with a fine nib and it is as smooth as the medium; obviously it is finer and has a little more flex.

I have wanted a Waterman Fountain Pen for a while now and this morning my "hemisphere" arrived from france within 3 Days. What amazing service THE PEN SELLER.I am absolutely over the moon with it to say the least.The stainless steel nib is so smooth and delivers the ink to the page with such ease that I could have carried on writing all day!!!Not only is this pen stunning to look at, it is also a nice size and weight and I would recommend anyone wishing to start or return to using the traditional fountain pen to end your search here. You will not find a better pen at this price anywhere.I own quite a few Parkers but am already looking to buy another Waterman to add to my growing collection.I now know why the are called the Rolls Royce of Pens.

This pen just makes you want to write forever. The look and feel of this pen is great and people comment when I write with it as the pen looks so good and also people can't believe I write with a fountain pens.One thing I would suggest when you purchase this pen, buy some actual waterman ink cartridges. The reason I say this, is I believe the ink cartridge provided with this pen may have been old and stale or it is not an original waterman ink cartridge as when I was writing with it, it left gaps in the writing where the ink was not flowing.I purchased waterman cartridges and I can't believe how different the pen writes, it makes you wanna write forever as the ink flows through the hemisphere cleanly,

The pen looks great but not as good as what I expected to be like what I saw in the picture, the material looks a bit cheaper of course but the quality of the pen is really ok for me, I mean it's very smooth and painfree when I write. And it comes with a blue color cartridge so don't worry, it's just well - hided under the pillow or whatever that is called, just in the box. What I love is how fast the delivery is, I ordered it on Saturday and the product arrived at the carrier facility in my town on Sunday. And I got the product on Monday morning!! That is like just one working day!! I can now do my work before the deadline arrive.

Very very impressed. I had desired a Waterman pen for years, but they were always too expensive. Then while browsing for a quality leather bound journal i cam across this. Excellent value i thought, so i went ahead and ordered.A couple of days later this little beauty arrived, popped in the blue ink cartridge (blue not black as mentioned in the description) and tested it out on some scrap paper. It writes beautifully, is a pleasure to hold. And indeed to write with.Recommended. A quality pen that writes beautifully and looks expensive.Just bear in mind, this may come with a blue cartridge, and if like me you like to lay black on the page then order some black cartridges (you will need them

This pen is an absolute joy to write with!! Even my untidy scrawl looks better when I use this, and it is a tactile delight, so that the chore of letter-writing becomes an almost sensual pleasure. I've long been a fan of Waterman pens - one of the few remaining bastions of good craftsmanship, imo - and the Hemisphere range is an affordable one, although it certainly doesn't stint on the iconic Waterman quality. This is a slim, lightweight pen to hold and the nib glides smoothly over almost any writing paper - even a heavier, slightly textured paper. I love it, but whilst I find it the perfect writing instrument, it might be just a tad too delicate for male taste! :-)

First fountain pen I've ever bought so not much basis for comparison here, but seeing as I picked this thing up for £20 on Black Friday, let me say - well worth the investment.It's a beautiful pen, writes well (with some intermittent skipping I might add), but I'm hoping that the nib is malleable enough to shape to my writing style and solve these niggly bits.Replacing the ink cartridge is a breeze and, seeing as a 10 pack of bics is easily a tenner, it's well worth the extra cash - more pleasing writing experience, easy on the wallet and my friends are jealous! Ticks all the boxes.

I haven't used a fountain pen in a great many years but recently decided to treat myself. I didn't want to spend a fortune but saw little point in buying a cheap pen which would undoubtedly prove a disappointment. So, I chose this mid price Waterman and I am delighted with it. I had forgotten how almost sensual an experience it is to write with a finely crafted pen. The Waterman writes smoothly and is comfortable to hold. It looks like it is worth twice the price and is now my default choice of writing instrument.I would recommend this pen to anyone thinking of buying a fountain pen.

Some time ago I decided to buy a decent mechanical pencil, and went for the Waterman Hemisphere. I've been using a while and loved it, so decided it would be nice to have a fountain pen to match. Eventually, when the price was at a level I felt I was prepared to pay, I went for it, and I have no regrets. The pen is just as lovely to use as the pencil; it's comfortable to hold in my hand, is a good weight, and smooth across the page. I've bought a refillable adapter to go with it, but haven't used that yet as my first cartridge isn't empty.

It is a great delight to use this fountain pen on a daily basis. The fine nib works with absorbent paper and avoids bleed-through and feathering. The pen is on the drier side and I like that because when you have to write lot of notes quickly, it is difficult to wait for the ink to dry- just remember to cap the pen while pausing to write. Moreover, I am quite biased with Waterman fountain pens- they have stood the test of time. This fountain pen feels light for daily use, but the metal body is very sturdy.
