Blending two areas of its expertise, fine writing and colour, the Caran d’Ache collection Les Couleurs du Léman now includes some of the mosrt unique and intense shades in Caran d'Ache's palette that have inspired the collection.
To enrich the palette of the collection, two of its areas of special expertise - Colour and Fine Writing - come together in a warm, bold writing instrument. This shimmering shade captures the fleeting moment when the sky is on fire and the lake is in flames. The scarlet light captures the attention, seizes the emotions and burns a lasting image on the mind. Overwhelming, penetrating, alive and... irresistible. Les Couleurs du Léman are imbued with elegance and style, true to the spirit of Caran d’Ache.
Bleu Marin
With Léman Bleu Marin, Caran d’Ache invites writing fans on a soothing journey as the unfathomable waters ripple in the wake of adventurous boats. Adorned in sparkling navy blue lacquer, its body displays a deeply textured guillochage for the very first time, subtly calling to mind the sailing boats scattered over the water.
Rouge Carmin
Léman Rouge Carmin is an invitation to let your mind roam free at the end of the day as the sky and waves catch fire. Coated in translucent red lacquer, its body is adorned with subtle glints embodying the glittering contrasts of the lake. A journey through a kaleidoscope of cubic guillochage in the deep, vibrant colours of Switzerland. With its gentle curves oozing modernity, Léman Rouge Carmin offers a breath of contemporary elegance.
De Nuit
Caran d’Ache presents an anniversary edition as magical as the night and as festive as the sparkling colors of a fireworks display. The refinement of the finishing can be admired through the transparent black lacquered outer layer, representing a rare art perfectly mastered by the artisans of the Maison. Thanks to an astonishing subtly graded “Clous de Paris” hobnail pattern, the depth of the lacquer reveals an inimitable guilloché motif.
Gran Bleu
Bathed in light and ruffled by the wind, waves come to life with the new Léman Grand Bleu. The delicately engraved background evokes the regular ripples of waves on the water's surface. A layer of translucent lacquer, reminiscent of the intense blue of the ocean depths, reveals these undulating reflections on the refined body of Léman Grand Bleu writing instruments. Lulled by the waves and the zephyr's song, lovers of fine writing will dive headlong into a thrilling odyssey with the new Léman Grand Bleu.
Caviar
To further enhance the style of the Léman collection, Caran d’Ache master craftsmen have created an unusual association of materials. The new Léman Caviar creation is a subtle fusion of lacquer and guillochage techniques, revealing a fine undulating engraving that creates unexpected shimmering metallic reflections. Glossy, amber tinted bronze lacquer envelopes the silhouette of the pen, instilling a definite sense of caviar beads.
Ebony Black & Gold / Rhodium
Precious and refined, the black lacquer gets its sheen from the body of the Léman Ebony Black. Its body and cap, lacquered in deep black, match the plated trim finish perfectly. The Léman Ebony Black fountain pen offers you excellence with finesse.
