Caran d'Ache Varius Lights Ballpoint Pen, Limited Edition – Swiss Made Ballpoint Pen
The Caran d'Ache Varius Lights 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 Lights Limited Edition
In 2026, Caran d'Ache celebrates timeless elegance through a new Limited Edition: the Varius Lights. A true artisanal masterpiece, this Haute Écriture instrument embodies the expertise of the Maison's master guillochers and polishers, drawing inspiration from the worlds of jewelry and watchmaking to enhance this Limited Edition. The 'baguette diamond' guilloché pattern, named Lights, reveals a refined radiance, evoking the sparkle of precious stone facets and creating a fascinating ballet of luminous reflections.
The palladium-plated silvered body of this Limited Edition stands out through its mirror-polished finish, enhancing its sumptuous brilliance. The attributes, finely guilloché with watchmaking precision inspired by watch crowns, confer absolute sophistication upon this writing instrument. At the top of its cap, a marbled black onyx cabochon further elevates the splendour of this exceptional piece.
Available in three writing modes - ballpoint pen, rollerball and fountain pen - the Varius Lights is limited to 100 pieces.
