Caran d'Ache was founded in Geneva in 1915 and remains Switzerland's only manufacturer of writing instruments. Designed, developed and manufactured in Thônex-Geneva, they have become known for their range of gold and jewelled pens, along with lighters, wallets, cases and other lifestyle accessories. The most interesting products for us lie in their 'Office' range - especially the wonderful 849 Metal Ballpoint and the fabulous Fixpencil series of clutch pencils, nice rubber erasers and super-solid metal desk sharpeners. These “Swiss Made" products are high-quality and fine craftsmanship.
