Kaweco: German Engineering Meets Portable Precision
Kaweco's story begins in 1883 when Heinrich Koch and Rudolf Weber founded their pen company in Heidelberg, Germany. The name itself—KA-WE-CO—comes from the founders' surnames and became synonymous with robust German engineering.
What made Kaweco special was understanding that writers needed tools that could travel. While other fountain pens were often cumbersome desk accessories, Kaweco pioneered compact designs that never compromised on performance. Their Sport series continues this legacy—short when capped for portability, perfectly balanced when posted for writing.
Kaweco appeals to those who appreciate understated quality over flashy features, designed for writers who need reliable performance whether jotting notes in a café or filling pages at a desk.
