Inspiration

Built on the iconic silhouette of the Swiss Maison, the new collection draws inspiration from the world of board games, each piece celebrating the pursuit of excellence that everyone strives for, regardless of the field. Just like in a game, where every move matters, this collection invites intention and reflection with every word put to paper.

Design & Materials

With the barrel crafted from solid brass, then refined through multiple layers of deep black lacquer, the piece achieves both visual depth and a remarkable tactile smoothness in hand. The metal cap adorned with a diamond-engraved checkered pattern introduces a sharp contrast, both visually and texturally, catching the light with every movement.

True to the spirit of the Caran d'Ache Léman series, the design balances precision with elegance: softly curved lines, perfectly weighted proportions, and a seamless transition between materials. Polished metal accents further elevate the composition, framing the pen with a subtle brilliance that reinforces its refined, contemporary character, while reaffirming the Maison’s commitment to artisanal craftsmanship.

Writing Experience

Users can choose between two writing variants for this edition, each tailored to a distinct rhythm of use. The fountain pen, fitted with an 18k gold nib, delivers a smooth, expressive writing experience – gliding effortlessly across the page while offering just the right amount of feedback for control and character.

For those who prioritize practicality without compromising on elegance, the ballpoint version offers a more reliable writing experience, suited for everyday use. Both versions are accompanied by a leather single-pen pouch, thoughtfully designed to match the checkered motif found on the cap.
