Léman
Lake Léman, or lake Geneva, a vast body of water located between Switzerland and France, which stands as the largest lake in Western Europe and which, among other places, bathes towns such as Montreux, Lausanne and Geneva, the latter the headquarters of the Caran d’Ache company since its founding in 1915, is the source of inspiration and object of homage in the Léman line of fountain pens, a superb group of high-end writing instruments that is part of the “Haute Écriture” series, “High Writing” in English, of this famous Swiss manufacturer.
The ever-captivating colors of nature around the lake, the relaxing stillness of its waters, and the varying reflection of light on them are some of the concepts behind this impressive collection of pieces also known as “Les couleurs de Léman.”
These emotions and evocative feelings are captured in the Léman collection fountain pens through their refined design, soft and elegant curves, colorful lacquer coatings in striking and varied shades, and the contrast among these coatings and the ornamental metal elements and details scattered across their surfaces, which, in some cases, extend to their caps and are adorned with fine guilloche work.
An extraordinary example of good taste and a magnificent samplle of the skill and ability of the artisans who work for this veteran brand with over a hundred years of history in the luxury writing pen sector.
