At PRECIREX TECHNOLOGIES, innovation has always been one of our founding principles. \ud83e\udd14<\/p>\n\n

In the 1890s, the Rubin brothers, founders of our Minirectif company, teamed up with a mechanic from the Geneva region to propose an innovative solution to a doctor. The latter could no longer bear carrying his inkwell to all his patients to write out his prescriptions. \ud83d\ude37<\/p>\n\n

So the brothers got to work and came up with an ingenious system for putting ink directly into the nib. A patent was registered for the nib, and a few examples of these innovative prototypes still exist.<\/p>\n\n

Later, the Waterman brand invented a baffle system to optimise the regulation of ink flow and prevent it from drooling on the paper.<\/p>\n\n

Even back then, ingenuity, precision and attention to detail were in our DNA. \ud83d\udca0<\/p>\n\n
