Classic Sport Rollerball Pen
About the original
The Kaweco Classic Sport Rollerball is a pocket-sized rollerball pen with a 0.7 mm ceramic-ball tip, built around the octagonal Sport body based on Kaweco's 1935 design. The German manufacturer was founded in 1883 in Heidelberg as Heidelberger Federhalter-Fabrik and now produces the Sport line in Nuremberg. The closed pen measures 10.5 cm and posts to 13 cm, sized to fit in a shirt pocket with the cap attached for length. The body is high-gloss precious resin with a gold-tone clip and Kaweco Sport logo embossed on the cap. Supreme's FW13 version is the same Classic Sport body in white, marked with a box logo, and was one of the first Supreme x Kaweco collaborations.
About Kaweco
Kaweco is a German writing instrument manufacturer founded in 1883 in Heidelberg as the Heidelberger Federhalter Fabrik. Heinrich Koch and Rudolph Weber took over in 1889, and the brand name Kaweco is built from KOch, WEber and COmpany. The first Kaweco safety fountain pen launched in 1909, and by the 1920s the company employed 600 people producing 130,000 fountain pens a year, with subsidiaries in Berlin, Paris, Zurich, and Vienna. The name and tooling were acquired in 1929 by Knust, Woringen and Grube of Wiesloch. Kaweco's pocket-sized Sport model, introduced in 1935, remains its defining product. Supreme collaborated with Kaweco on a Sport fountain pen.
