Caran d'Ache Astrograph Fountain Pen - Anthracite Ruthenium
Limited Edition of 99
18 carats gold nib, rhodium-coated

The Maison Caran d’Ache and the horological laboratory MB&F, have combined their expertise for a unique creative odyssey: the Astrograph writing instrument.

Propelling one’s own dreams into space by means of a rocket-pen: such was the original idea envisioned by Maximilian Büsser – a new adventure that has been enthusiastically welcomed by the creative and technical teams at Maison Caran d’Ache. With the Astrograph, Caran d’Ache and MB&F have developed an instrument featuring complex architecture while ensuring perfect writing comfort. Like a modern-day odyssey, the creation of this exceptional model symbolizes the conquest of space through making dreams come true.

Creating the Astrograph was an authentic technical challenge to which the Maison Caran d’Ache teams rose with aplomb. Fine-tuning the concept called for four years of gestation and fruitful exchanges, while an entire year was devoted to developing the final model. More than 500 manual operations were involved in its production in the workshops of the Geneva-based Manufacture.

Astrograph luxury pen features a slim body evoking the outlines of a space vessel. The perfectly integrated design of this creation comprises 99 innovative elements. The generic numbering is engraved on one of the three stabilizer feet: « Limited editions 1 in 99 pieces »
