About the brand
A story in ink since 1883
Waterman was born in 1883 in New York, with Lewis Edson Waterman and a three-channel feed system, designed to regulate the flow of ink and stop the pen from dripping. In 1888 the company became the L. E. Waterman Company.
In 1900 it won the gold medal at the Paris World's Fair. In 1926 JIF-Waterman was founded in France to make the pens there, and the brand still assembles its writing instruments in France today.

I was very happy to see Araujo & Sobrinho reopened, with materials of great quality. Walking into the shop again brought back many memories of my student days. It is a landmark and deserves to carry on this fine tradition.

On Largo de São Domingos, Araujo & Sobrinho is still a magical world. The old cabinets, the papers and canvases, and the same warm welcome as always take us back to times gone by. It is a house that keeps the memory of the city of Porto.
