Caran d'Ache Secret Journey III Tolstoy Rollerball Pen
Limited Edition of 150

For its final secret, the Maison de Haute Ecriture honors a great Russian writer of the 20th century, Leo Tolstoy, and takes us to Montreux and the magic of those mysterious mountains which so inspired him.

This last edition of the Trilogy links yellow gold and white lacquer in perfect harmony, suggesting the vast snowfields of the Russian winter. On the body of the writing instruments, a delicate decoration symbolizes the banks of the Léman. A secret mechanism, activated by hand, removes the Côte de Genève so well known in the world of watchmaking and reveals the author’s words: "The beauty of this landscape dazzled me and gave me unexpected strength." As a final tribute, a sapphire marks the position of Montreux. So many symbols say a great deal about this important philosopher.
These Limited Editions are steeped in mystery inviting us to explore the Swiss countryside and discover the treasure hidden in the beauty of the mountains and lake shores.

Secret Journey III: Tolstoy: 20th century
"The beauty of this landscape dazzled me and gave me unexpected strength."

The “Secret Journey III” writing instruments are entirely produced in the company’s Geneva workshops.

Available in 150 rollerball pens, each luxury writing instrument is individually numbered on the ring which also carries the hallmark of Caran d’Ache’s master craftsman.

Created in noble materials, they are supreme examples of the company’s expertise. The white lacquer envelops the body and the cap with a brilliance that makes an elegant contrast with the finishing in yellow gold plate depicting the countryside around the lake. Subtly engraved on the surface and in depth they show details of the plains, rivers and famous mountain scenery in the region of Montreux.

Embellished with a 0.06-carat sapphire symbolically positioned on the city of Montreux, the pen’s body also conceals the phrase spoken by Tolstoy. When the secret mechanism is not activated the French quotation is hidden under a magnificent engraving, made famous by the world of watchmaking: la Côte de Genève.

The body of the rollerball pen is plated in yellow gold and personalized with a guillochage. The roller pens are fitted with a Caran d’Ache roller-point cartridge.

The instruments are presented in a sumptuous black lacquer case decorated with a map of the lake region around the town of Montreux.
