Kultur Colors, 62 Of Them

[esteroids]

It's been a couple of years since I've found a Kultur color I didn't already have. So I figure I have almost all, if not all.

I don't include post production advertising or printing. And I didn't include the Eiffel Tower because I've only ever seen a ballpoint.

I did include the Croft, Harley, and 2000 pens because they were Waterman Kultur models.

 

So below are pictures of the 62 distinct colors. If you know of more feel free to comment. But I might just cover my eyes to avoid the knowledge.

 

4 Croft and 6 Harley:

 

7 Solid Color:

 

9 Marbled Opaque:

 

11 Metallic Solids:

 

2 Fluorescent and 3 Reflectis:

 

3 Glitter and 7 Matte Color Demos:

 

8 Clear Color and 2 Marble Demos

Didn't know there were 6 Harleys from this version.

 

Ofcourse there are also the versions with the exterior embellished with motor parts.

AFAIK these, too, are based on the Kultur.

Woah, all of these are pretty. Some of them look like real beauties to me.

 

Remind me again why they discontinued this model? Wouldn't it be the perfect competitor to Lamy Safari?

Undoubtedly this must make you the most Kultured person on this forum.

Wow, I thought I'd done quite well with my little collection... but nothing like this! And some of mine, to be honest, are not in quite such nice shape. That really is a wonderful show!

There's the Horizon model. They use the same nib, but a different barrel and cap featuring a cylinder and pushrods. The Horizon comes in a fuel tank case.

The other I think is the Combustion. They use an Expert II nib and feature something like a front fork. The Combustion comes in a head light case.

 

Common sense makes me think the Combustion is the cylinder and pushrod model and Horizon would have the suspension and headlight, but I think I have it right that the names came confused from Waterman.

 

Anyway, neither model is a Kultur. The Kultur Harley is called the Freewheel.

Nice set and excellent pictures.

Do you have the Y2K pen (2000 on the cap)?

It's with the pic of the 11 Metallics.

Well, this was an education!

 

I only have my clear one, but it is the pen I have my company's color in, so I use it every day.

 

Here's a question: do these all have the same problem my Kultur does of drying out if not used at least once a day, preferably twice?

A definite Yes.

[pajaro]

A definite Yes.

 

Do you think this has anything to do with the clip on the Kultur and on the Phileas? I don't think it is the nib, because an 18K nib from one of the other Watermans that fit right onto the Phileas dried up the same way.

Using the 'blow' test air passes through their caps with very little restriction.

There's also a French football world cup one, but I've only seen that as a ballpoint.

Beautiful pens. For those who experience drying out, I accidentally found that a wetter ink, such as Sailor dark blue or purple, will keep the moist at least overnight.
