Caran d’Ache pays tribute to its Geneva heritage and to the artisanal excellence that have shaped the Maison’s identity since its founding. As its birthplace and a source of inspiration, Geneva becomes the beating heart of this Limited Edition, featuring 18-carat gold plating and enhanced by a pearlescent burgundy lacquer with a glossy finish.

Traditionally devoted to depicting bucolic scenes and stories of everyday life, Toile de Jouy is reinvented here as a narrative landscape of Geneva. The guilloché engraving featuring the Geneva Toile de Jouy motif reveals, through a succession of finely drawn vignettes, the city’s iconic landmarks: the famous Jet d’Eau, the Mont-Blanc Bridge, and Place du Bourg-de-Four, home to the Caran d’Ache boutique in the heart of the Old Town.

These fragments of the city, delicately drawn by hand, come together to form a continuous visual narrative. Linked by connecting elements such as clouds and a hot-air balloon, the scenes evoke a poetic stroll through Geneva. Limited to 60 pieces per writing instrument type, each piece is individually numbered “1 in 60” with an engraving on the back of the button, making this creation a true collector’s item.
