The name Caran d'Ache means "pencil" in Russian. Caran d'Ache was founded in 1924 when Arnold Schweitzer bought a bankrupt pencil company in Geneva, Switzerland. The company's name was taken from the pen name of Emmanuel Poiret, a 19th century French caricaturist. In 1929, the company released the Fixpen, the predecessor of the mechanical pencil, and became a world-famous manufacturer. It has also expanded into the fields of luxury lighters, leather goods, and colored pencils, and has received high praise. Among them, the core of luxury writing instruments are the Hexagonal Collection and the Ecridor Collection. Both have a hexagonal body shape like a pencil, a style created by Caran d'Ache. They fit well with the fingers and do not tire the fingers even after long periods of writing. The refills of the ballpoint pen are also highly rated, and the smooth writing feel allows you to write 10 kilometers in a straight line. In addition, at Caran d'Ache, even the smallest parts are tested according to product standards, and all processes are strictly controlled. The gold, silver and rhodium plating is in accordance with Swiss government standards, and the gold and silver plating is particularly thick at 10 microns.
