Since its birth in Geneva in 1915, the Maison Caran d’Ache has been perpetuating its exceptional expertise and its spirit of innovation. Technical excellence as well as impeccable quality stemming from the Swiss tradition of fine craftsmanship, give rise to some of the world’s most sophisticated writing instruments and the most luminous colours. Today, and ever since the creation of the Maison in 1915, all Caran d’Ache products have been produced in its Geneva workshops. Since its beginnings at the dawn of the 20th century, when the Swiss watchmaking and jewelry industries were enjoying major growth, Caran d’Ache, the one and only manufacturer of writing and drawing instruments on Swiss soil, has been part of this same lineage of excellence, technical quality and craftsmanship. Today, it embodies the same high quality standards, while fostering continuous innovation and improvement. Leman Bi-colour Black Mechanical PencilSometimes warm and shimmering like a fiery sunset on the waters of the lake, sometimes soft and powdery like the clouds of an uncertain dawn, a palette of subtle tints is the inspiration of the Leman collection. In a wonderland of colours composed of the pigments used in their fine arts products, the collection captures the rich chromatic variations that constantly change the face of Lake Leman. The collection has been developed in a variety of original shades, alternating the silky lacquer and the richness of gold or the sparkle of rhodium-coated silver with delicately engraved lines in the bi-colour models. The Leman Bi-colour mechanical pencil in a classic black has a rounded shape which makes it a delightfully comfortable writing instrument. <li id="isPasted" style="box-sizing
