Because your penmanship is unique, Caran d'Ache designs fountain pens that are equally distinctive. Blending fine crafting and metalsmith techniques, these handmade writing instruments are the legacy of a century of Swiss innovation. They are polished and built to last.

A Swiss Made fountain pen for everyone

Caran d'Ache fountain pens are appropriate for everyday writing, as an introduction to the art of calligraphy, or as a collector's item. From the mythical 849 to the sumptuous Léman gilded in fine gold, allow Swiss Made technicality to elevate your writing.

The iconic 849 fountain pen

The 849 fountain pen is a modern icon, instantly recognisable from its hexagonal body.

The Ecridor collection of fountain pens

One of our great classics, the Ecridor fountain pen is a timeless model, with its precious-metal body and guilloche details.

The Léman collection of fountain pens

The Léman collection, inspired by the Swiss lake, offers fountain pens lacquered with care by our expert technicians.

The Varius collection of fountain pens

The ultimate in fine writing, the Varius is essentially jewellery for your desk or pocket. Made from precious materials such as chain mail or ebony, the Varius collection stands out for its stunning detail.

Limited-edition fountain pens

Much more than just a writing implement, each Caran d'Ache limited-edition fountain pen is a work of art. They are the result of years of research and prestigious collaborations with international designers.

Six nib sizes

Every writing style reflects a unique personality. So your choice of fountain pen nib is entirely personal. Whether you aspire to a refined writing aesthetic or, on the contrary, want to leave the bold stamp of your signature, we have what you need. Caran d'Ache offers up to 6 nib sizes, depending on the pen:
- Extra Fine (EF): for very fine lines and writing comfort whatever the position of your hand.
- Fine (F): for finesse and ease.
- Medium (M): the ideal nib for standard-sized writing.
- Medium Oblique (OM): for medium-sized writing and a nib with an oblique tip that facilitates gliding across the page.
- Broad (B): for those who appreciate thick lines.
- Wide Oblique (OB): for creating thick lines with a wide oblique-tipped nib.
No matter which you choose, our expertise and rigorous quality control guarantee durability and comfort.

Quality accessories to go with your fountain pen

To accompany your fountain pen, select quality accessories that will make your instrument perform at its best. Caran d'Ache offers Chromatics ink cartridges in a box of 6 refills and with a choice of 12 colours: from classic black to the most eccentric electric orange. For an even more exceptional writing experience, turn to Chromatics inkwells, available in the same 12 luminous shades.
Finally, after use, store your fountain pen in a sublime leather case to keep it in the best possible condition.

Unique, engravable writing instruments

For a writing utensil that is 100% unique and personalised, some of our most exclusive pens are also engravable. Choose from our emblematic Ecridor, Léman and Varius collections and add the engraving of your choice to the body of the pen. More than just a pen, give indelible memories.
