Black Edition: a symbolic collection celebrating the power of black

Daring, powerful and timeless: black is an ode to elegance. Like the writing instruments and Haute Ecriture instruments from Caran d’Ache, this timeless monochrome aesthetic defies fashion and time.

The new Black Edition collection gives a new twist to the Maison Caran d’Ache’s iconic writing instruments: the Ecridor™, 849™, Fixpencil™ and Varius™ collections. From the pens’ barrel to their clips and push buttons: the fountain pens, ballpoint pens, roller pens and mechanical pencils from the Black Edition collection celebrate Full Black in a collection that is as aesthetically pleasing as it is symbolic.

 

Caran d’Ache has set a daring challenge with the Black Edition collection: shine a light on the iconic series of writing instruments with a 100% monochrome collection. By being entirely black, each instrument from the Black Edition collection reveals the beauty of the lines, textures and materials that are specific to the Maison. An exceptional shade that meets the standards of your writing.

As a true tribute to the century-old expertise of Caran d’Ache, the Ecridor™ Black Lines ballpoint pen reveals the full extent of its character in this Black Edition. Its brass barrel, enhanced with a black chrome coating, embellishes the finely engraved complex guilloche work. The deconstructed lines create a subtle play of light, which is completed by a matching matte, black chrome clip and thrust device.

As well as having a refined appearance, the Ecridor™ Black Lines comes with a medium, black ink refill which enables you to write for endless writing sessions. Rechargeable, the pen is compatible with all the colours from the Goliath ink range. As part of a gift set, the pen comes nestled within a black calfskin case engraved with the pen’s signature motif - the very essence of elegance.

Excellent news for all lovers of the renowned family of 849™ pens. The fountain pens and ballpoint pens from this range also come with a new monochrome design as part of the Black Edition.

Light and resistant, the 849™ Black Code fountain pen stands out with a unique, shiny black design obtained thanks to the process of shot peening. Compatible with all the Chromatics ink cartridges, the instrument comes with a Chromatics refill cartridge in Cosmic Black for a full black effect, from the fountain pen’s barrel to the words it leaves on the page. It comes in a black metal tin, for an effect that is at the height of elegance.

As for the 849™ ballpoint pen, this classic takes on a new aspect in its XL Black Code version and its sophisticated matte black chrome finish. Despite its larger size the instrument retains its lightness thanks to its hexagonal aluminium barrel. Compatible with the Goliath and 849™ Roller ink cartridges, this instrument offers an unparalleled writing experience.

Clad in shiny black, the Black Code Fixpencil celebrates the iconic mechanical pencil from the Maison Caran d’Ache. As light and sturdy as ever, the mechanical pencil is adorned with a flexible metal clip and a black push button within which a sharpener is integrated for great ease-of-use.

Don’t choose your new writing companion randomly: opt for black’s timeless qualities combined with Caran d’Ache’s unparalleled quality.

It’s not easy satisfying the wishes of most demanding lovers of fine writing. Now you can count on the minimalist uniqueness of the Black Code writing set from the Black Edition collection.

A true collector’s item, the 849™ Black Code writing set is the ideal gift for all lovers of writing. Nestled in a shiny black metal tin on which the white Caran d’Ache name features, this dual writing set contains both a ballpoint pen and a mechanical pencil from the renowned 849™ family.

These two renowned instruments from the Maison have been given a makeover for the occasion and sport finishing details in chrome, black and matte metal. The 849™ Black Code mechanical pencil is just as refined and also features an eraser and a store of 0,7mm lead refills.

Don’t wait a second longer - give your friends and family the gift of embodying the Swiss Made Black Code.
