Caran d'Ache Chinese Zodiac Year of the Dog 2018 Rollerball Pen
Limited Edition of 888
In homage to the Chinese Zodiac, Caran d'Ache celebrates the Year of the Dog
Caran d’Ache pays homage to the fine arts in its “Chinese calendar” collection, designed to bring the legend of the symbols of the Chinese zodiac to life. The latest creation, the “Year of the Dog” limited edition, carries on the tradition of this collection of exceptional writing instruments to celebrate the advent of the Chinese Year of the Dog in 2018.
According to legend, the Jade Emperor invited all the animals to a mysterious gathering one New Year’s Eve. Only twelve animals accepted the invitation. The Emperor then gave each animal a unique gift: henceforth, a year would be dedicated to them and would bear their name.
In the Chinese zodiac, the dog symbolizes loyalty, integrity and devotion to just causes. Its profound intelligence, sensitive soul and alert mind often make it the defender of universal values. A loyal friend and reliable traveling companion, this pathfinder for peace brings balance and harmony to the world. Favorable to stability and positive change, the Chinese Year of the Dog promises the union of the very best energies.
A symbolic creation in homage to the fine arts
In keeping with the aesthetics of previous limited editions dedicated to the symbols of the Chinese zodiac, the “Year of the Dog” revives the splendor of genuine Chinese lacquer.
The slim silhouette of the dog appears against a background of black gloss Chinese lacquer, patiently applied layer by layer according to the ancestral tradition. The finely engraved drawing presents the animal in an alert posture, wrapped around the body of the writing instrument. Represented in grey Chinese lacquer, the lines and figurative contours highlight the liveliness and subtle elegance of the dog. The typically Asian character of the design further underlines its rippling coat and the arching of its slender body so full of vitality. The attributes of the writing instruments are coated in yellow gold and carry the distinctive signs of Caran d’Ache along with individually engraved numbers. The combination of gold and grey symbolizes the union of energy and reason, light and awareness, signs of benevolence and good omens in Asia. Each writing instrument is authenticated by the calligraphic symbol of the dog and by the red Caran d’Ache Chinese seal which is supposed to bring good luck.

Year of the Dog
In the pure tradition of Chinese Lacquer
In keeping with the aesthetics of previous limited editions dedicated to the symbols of the Chinese zodiac, the “Year of the Dog” revives the splendor of genuine Chinese lacquer. A mastery of this ancestral technique and extensive know-how in terms of precision engraving ensure the master craftsmen at Caran d’Ache enjoy great freedom when creating their designs while maintaining the integrity of the lacquered surface.
And so the sleek shape of the dog emerges in grey Chinese lacquer, creating an elegant contrast with the deep black of the lacquer covering the writing instrument.
The finely engraved figurative lines and contours express all the agility and elegance of the dog. The typically Asian character of the design further underlines its rippling coat and the arching of its slender body. The writing instruments’ attributes are coated in yellow gold. The combination of gold and grey symbolizes the union of energy and reason, light and awareness, signs of balance and good omens in Asia. Each writing instrument is authenticated by the calligraphic symbol of the dog and by the red Caran d’Ache Chinese seal which is supposed to bring good luck.
The “Year of the Dog” edition is limited to 888 items in homage to Chinese culture, in which the number “888” is the ultimate sign of good luck.

In the pure tradition of Chinese Lacquer
Known since the 14th century BC, the art of Chinese lacquer was developed during the reign of the Shang dynasty. The natural material comes from the sap of the Rhus Vernicifera tree, which originates from tropical Asia. Entirely executed by hand, the meticulous successive applications of fine layers of lacquer require infinite patience. The careful polishing of each writing instrument, also done by hand, reveals its incomparable reflections with this final touch.
Mastery of this ancestral technique and great expertise in the realm of precision engraving enable the master craftsmen of the Maison Caran d’Ache to produce designs with incredible freedom, while maintaining the integrity of the lacquered surface. In this way, the radiant silhouette of the rooster composed of intense orange Chinese lacquer appears, creating the noblest of contrasts with the deep black of the Chinese lacquer coating the writing instrument.
