Caran d'Ache

The Art of Caran d'Ache

The Art of Caran d'Ache begins in Geneva in 1915, where Switzerland's only Maison de Haute Écriture still crafts every writing instrument. Guilloché-engraved and precious-metal-coated in its own ateliers, each fountain pen, ballpoint pen, rollerball and mechanical pencil unites watchmaking precision with the pleasure of writing by hand. Signature collections define the house style: the lacquered Léman and slender Léman Slim, the faceted gold- and palladium-coated Ecridor, the visionary Varius in carbon, ceramic and lacquer, and the vivid Chromatics inks. From hexagonal Goliath icons to fine leather goods, Caran d'Ache turns the everyday gesture of writing into Swiss-made art.
