Limited editions, vivid colours, precious and semi-precious materials: the ballpoint in all its forms with Caran d'Ache

Perhaps you are looking for a trendy writing instrument, or a luxury item with a personalised engraving. For every context, there is a Caran d'Ache pen for you.

The 849: versatile and long-lasting

The 849 ballpoint is a refillable pen sporting an industrial vibe from the '60s. This essential stationery item is imbued with panache and is a perfect item for collectors.
Every year, the 849 ballpoint gets a new look. Models come out in new, original colours and limited editions, adding on to the standard collections (Colormat-X, FluoLine, Classic Line, PopLine, Totally Swiss). But no matter what, the 849 is, and always will be, in tune with the times.

Ecridor: more than a luxury ballpoint

You will be tempted to call it jewellery. The pens in the Ecridor collection showcase the delicate art of guilloche. With graceful forms, refined detailing and precious materials, each is sheathed in a leather case. Ecridor ballpoints can also be engraved.

Léman: a ballpoint with a hand-lacquered body

Available in black, navy blue, carmine red and white, the Léman ballpoint subtly evokes the waters of Lake Geneva and its reflections. This pen is elegant and sober. Some of the models can be engraved.

The Varius: an objet d'art

The Varius ballpoint showcases the exceptional materials and expertise of Caran d'Ache. This writing instrument offers a multisensory experience and incredible writing pleasure.

The 825: ecological and economical

Packaged in sets with ink in various colours, the 825 ballpoint pen is our most affordable model. Its hexagonal synthetic resin barrel, flexible clip and push button make it practical and comfortable.

Refillable ballpoint pens with stainless steel and tungsten tips : the Swiss watch of pens

All Caran d'Ache pens are distinguished by the quality of their materials: refillable aluminium barrels, stainless steel tips, tungsten balls, and mechanical engineering worthy of a Swiss watch. Our prestigious collaborations with renowned designers make our pens into rare objects, veritable collector's items.

Chic and robust

True to its reputation as an innovative, artisanal manufacturer, our Geneva-based company designs hard-wearing pens, all with the Swiss Made label. Cultivating Swiss excellence since 1915, Caran d'Ache has been long-lasting, just like its legendary pens.
In the spirit of longevity, most of our ballpoints are refillable with Goliath ink cartridges, and many are made from recycled materials.
