Caran d’Ache

Since its inception in 1915, the company placed its base in Geneva. The Company creates writing and drawing tools combining the best materials with innovative skills. Caran d’Ache also includes some scarce skills. The art of Chinese lacquer done by hand in an ancestral manner happens to be one of them.

Caran d’Ache comes from the word  “karandash” that is the Russian term for “pencil.” Or probably the word comes from the Turkish root “kara tash” which refers to black stone – the origins of graphite.

At the dawn of the 20th century, when the Swiss watchmaking was enjoying significant growth. Caran d’Ache, the only manufacturer of pens and drawing tools on Swiss soil, has experienced the same growth because they have this same commitment to excel. Today, it embodies the same high-quality standards, while stimulating continuous innovation.
