https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1837/43325192764_c36934ab83_o.jpg CARAN d'ACHE Founded in 1915, CARAN d’ACHE shares its name with the Russian word карандаш /karandash/, meaning "pencil." This word itself originates from the Turkish "kara taş," which translates to "black stone," referring to graphite, the essential material for pencil leads. As Switzerland's sole manufacturer of high-end writing instruments, pencils, and art supplies, CARAN d’ACHE embodies Swiss industrial technology, characterized by its meticulousness, precision, reliability, and innovation. Each product is crafted in CARAN d’ACHE's own workshops in Geneva, a testament to traditional craftsmanship and specialized expertise, enhanced by modern, high-tech equipment. Initially focusing on pencil leads and colored pencils, the company diversified its offerings to include oil pastels, mechanical pencils, and ballpoint pens. Notably, CARAN d’ACHE invented the world's first ballpoint pen. Over decades of development, the brand has established a significant international presence. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48313275936_cdf16a7ecb_z.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48313691157_e7c92e9dc2_z.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48313276116_e0c4433648_z.jpg / Deluxe wooden case, 2 layers https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48313409022_7bbd27e399_z.jpg / Minor scuffs on the wooden case surface, does not affect use https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48313392552_13fe9a02f3_z.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48313392622_e5aea58ae1_z.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48313276051_0dd1a69e96_z.jpg ※ Rare item, only 1 available. / Includes original certificate of authenticity and 1 ink refill. ◤ Model 4470.07 ◤ Material 925 Sterling Silver ◤ Dimensions 13cm ◤ Origin Switzerland ※ Product image colors may vary slightly due to computer monitor settings.
