Caran d'Ache Leman Ebony Black, Gold Trim Roller Ball Pen, 2014, Collector Item

  

Since its birth in Geneva in 1915, the Maison Caran d'Ache has been perpetuating its exceptional expertise and its spirit of innovation. Technical excellence as well as impeccable quality stemming from the Swiss tradition of fine craftsmanship, give rise to some of the world's most sophisticated writing instruments and the most luminous colours. Today, and ever since the creation of the Maison in 1915, all Caran d'Ache products have been produced in its Geneva workshops.

Today, it embodies the same high quality standards, while fostering continuous innovation and improvement. LEMAN was created by Caran d'Ache from the inspiration of the lake Leman which reflects the beautiful colors. Leman is the bluest of all Swiss lakes and is ringed with villages, castles and gorgeous walks.

Rich lacquer finishes are layered upon brass, giving the Leman a superior weight. Sometimes warm and shimmering like a fiery sunset on the waters of the lake, sometimes soft and powdery like the clouds of an uncertain dawn, a palette of subtle tints is the inspiration of the Leman collection. In a wonderland of colours composed of the pigments used in their fine arts products, the collection captures the rich chromatic variations that constantly change the face of Lake Leman. The collection has been developed in a variety of original shades, alternating the silky lacquer and the richness of gold or the sparkle of rhodium-coated silver with delicately engraved lines in the bi-colour models. The Leman rollerball pen in a classic black has a rounded shape which makes it a delightfully comfortable writing instrument. 14 x 2 x 2 cm; 279.99 Grams.
