Caran d'Ache Pens
If you are looking for a Caran d'Ache item not listed on our website contact customer service. We are often able to get Caran d'Ache pens and inks not listed.
Caran d’Ache originated as a simple pencil maker located in Geneva, Switzerland in 1915 to over 100 years later emerging as one of the worlds recognized leaders in premier manufacturing and the only manufacturer of fine writing instruments to be located in Switzerland.
Although the Swiss are known for their technical knowledge and excellent craftsmanship and quality in its watch making industry, Caran d’Ache has extended such craftsmanship and quality to the fine writing manufacturing as well.
Arnold Schweitzer merged the original writing instrument company with the Ecridor Pencil Factory when he purchased it in 1924. Mr. Schweitzer decided to name his new company after the nickname of a French Political cartoonist, whose name originated from karandash, which is the Russian word for pencil, thus Caran d’Ache was officially formed.
Caran d’Ache continues to manufacture its products in its Geneva Switzerland workshops today.

Was a gift for my wife. She loved it, both appearance and function.

This is the perfect flourescant green color, not too yellow. I ordered the extra fine nib, and it is really extra fine! My nib writes both tiny and smoothly, almost like a needlepoint gel pen with a smidge of line variation. I love it. The schmidt standard converter fits the pen nicely and the slim section is comfortable. I can happily write and draw with this pen.

This pen takes the silky smooth Caran d'Ache ballpoint mechanism and the Goliath cartridge to a new level of comfort. Nicest ballpoint in the world!

It is a great looking pen with good grip. It is shiny and easily attractive pen when the people first notice it. I love the large refill that would last longer than normal ballpoint refill. the quality of it is Caran d'Ache made and it can last lifetime if it is taken care.

These are okay pens. They look like they cost more than they actually do, they write well, and they’re easy to take care of. They are surprisingly light, which leaves them feeling a little cheap. But... they’re smaller and nice enough for a beginner pen.
