Caran d'Ache Varius Edelweiss Ballpoint Pen, Limited Edition – Swiss Made Ballpoint Pen
The Caran d'Ache Varius Edelweiss Ballpoint Pen, Limited Edition is crafted by Caran d'Ache, the Swiss Maison de Haute Écriture founded in Geneva in 1915. Every Haute Écriture instrument is produced in the company's Geneva workshops under the “Swiss Made” label and assembled by hand.
The Varius Collection
An accomplished form and hexagonal body with a unique feel: Caran d'Ache's iconic Varius collection is the result of a passionate work of materials, and the only collection to offer fountain pen nibs in up to seven widths.
About the Varius Edelweiss Limited Edition
Varius Edelweiss, a tribute to the Alpine flower. Caran d'Ache invites you on a journey to the heart of the Swiss Alps with the creation of a beechwood instrument in the effigy of the emblematic mountain flower: the edelweiss. Varius Edelweiss is a timeless creation intended for fans of Alpine art. The Swiss national flower, the emblem of Alpine guides and a protected plant since 1879, the little edelweiss embodies an entire part of Swiss cultural imagination, associated with numerous customs and legends, making this Caran d'Ache Limited Edition an icon of the Varius range.
The Varius Edelweiss Limited Edition is available in three writing modes: ballpoint pen, roller pen and fountain pen. It is limited to 1,784 pieces - a tip of the hat to the date on which the name 'edelweiss' came into being - and is engraved with the number '1 in 1784'.
