Caran d'Ache Secret Journey Pens

Secret Journey Pen Collection Story

The secret involves technical expertise, an understanding of what makes something truly special, and the knowledge of how to create it. It’s a secret shared by all those who succeed in developing something unique. Caran d’Ache is a legitimate member of this select group: its products are creative masterpieces of artistry and technique. They are the brand’s chief assets.

To match this bold approach, the company has found its inspiration by the Lac Léman (Lake Geneva). For the first time it has dedicated a trilogy of unique writing instruments to three major authors who have been secret guests on its shores. In praise of Switzerland and the timeless beauty of the lake, the “Secret Journey” Limited Editions describe the lake shore, seen from three towns in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries.

But the real journey starts where the secrets are hidden. The “Secret Journey” Limited Editions are technical marvels containing a discreet mechanism that reveals quotations from the writers, together with a precious stone carefully selected to reflect a special characteristic of the author concerned. On the body and cap of the writing instruments, subtly presented old maps will lead anyone who loves rare and valuable objects into the very heart of history.

Each author is represented by a limited edition of 300 fountain pens and 150 rollerball pens. For collectors of exceptional objects, 30 special boxes of the “Secret Journey” trilogy are also be available  These rare pieces will enable their highly privileged owners to possess the most beautiful thoughts of the three authors, together with their inkwells and illustrated cards from the period, as well as a luxurious three-pen travel case to take with them wherever they go.
