About the Kaweco Company:
There were times when Montblanc, Pelikan or other European pen makers,
would look at a Kaweco pen first before making their own.
Kaweco at the end of the 19th century and up to the 70’s, was one of the biggest manufacturers in Europe,
everyone had a Kaweco pen, they stood out from the competition
as they made the highest quality and best designed pens at the time.
The company was founded in 1883 as “Koch Weber & Co” by
the friends Luce Koch and Enßlen Weber in Heidelberger Germany,
Koch Weber & CO, thus KA WE CO.
They had a great start and up to 1929 they had several thousand employees, with revenue at over a million DM.
However, in 1929, the same year Pelikan patented their piston filler,
Kaweco filed for bankruptcy, unbelievably as they could not sustain their enormous growth.
A considerably smaller fountain pen company known as Aurumia,
bought the factory, and decided to use the same name old name Kaweco,
as it represented superb writing instruments. Since 1920's up to late 1970’s,
Kaweco made some of the most luxurious pens in Europe, the most expensive and high end pens,
extraordinarily build quality. By the late 1940's Kaweco had at least one major retail store in all bigger cities,
from London to Istanbul, and this was not the case with any other manufacturer in Europe.
"Nazareno Gabrielli" by "KAWECO" Designer Ballpoint pen in
Good Overall condition.
An investment in Nazareno Gabrielli is an investment in
the rich and timeless heritage of the iconic Italian fashion label.
Gabrielli was founded in 1907's, when craftsmanship and quality surpassed society’s fashionable needs.
However, Nazareno Gabrielli realized consumers were instead seeking a refined,
uncompromising blend of both – a purist mix of the traditional and contemporary.
For nearly a century, the fashion house designed and produced not only accessories but clothing,
as well, so the wearer could be outfitted in Gabrielli from head to toe.
At present, however, the Italian-based label offers solely
a range of luxurious lifestyle accessories – from its signature leather diaries
to structured totes, sleek luggage, watches, cufflinks, ties and scarves.
This allows the brand to focus on the fine craftsmanship and utterly timeless design of its beloved,
signature accessories.
