The Enthusiast’s Note: "The Expert is Waterman's most assertive model. While the Hemisphere is slim and the Carène is fluid, the Expert is built with a certain 'gravity.' The contrast between the smooth stone lacquer and the finely chiselled cap is one of the most stylish combinations Waterman has released in years."
