Caran d'Ache Varius Rubracer Fountain Pen

Caran d'Ache Varius Rubracer founain pen.

A guilloche decoration of parallel diagonal lines covering each side of its barrel and cap, along with an original choice of materials, are the most striking aesthetic features of the Caran d'Ache Varius Rubracer fountain pen. This beautiful writing instrument, part of the Caran d'Ache Varius line of fountain pens and, in turn, of the high-end Haute Ecriture series, is composed of a rubber-coated metal barrel and a cap, a grip section, and various rhodium-plated metal details. An elegant, modern, and sporty offering for a model that will impress anyone who sees it up close.

The fountain pens in the glamorous Varius line stand out, among other things, for their varied selection of finishes and materials, for the richness of the latter, and, above all, for their beautiful and original design, which combines a hexagonal barrel and cap with a cylindrical head and base with rounded ends. A beautiful interplay of geometric shapes that results in an overall image defined by elegance and refinement.

In addition to its design and rich materials, the ornamental details present in this fabulous series of pieces deserve special mention. Among them, the clip, featuring a beveled profile and a width that decreases toward the bottom, and the head, which features the name of this famous Swiss brand engraved in elegant capital letters around its circumference.

Focusing on the functional aspects of the pens in this collection, and specifically the fountain pen in question, it's worth noting that it features a superb 18K solid gold nib plated with rhodium and beautifully engraved with the Caran d'Ache logo, references to the thickness of the nib and the purity of the gold used in its manufacture, and a series of parallel lines that group together in pairs and diverge as we move our gaze towards the nib. This fantastic element is fed using a universal cartridge or converter loading system and is available, in this specific case, in fine (F), medium (M), and broad (B) nibs.

As for its presentation, like all fountain pens produced by Caran d'Ache, the stylogrpahs included in the Varius series are delivered in a magnificent gift box.
