Caran d'Ache has chosen the year of the nation's
founding to determine the extent of its latest limited edition:
the new Matterhorn fountain pen is limited to 1291 units. The
pen's body and cap are made of brass lacquered in anthracite
grey, reminiscent of the colour of rock. Two ornaments in rhodium-coated
solid silver adorn the pen's body and cap. The cap depicts the
majestic Matterhorn while the body reveals a pastoral scene
with chalets, pinetrees, goats and a Swiss flag. The clip is
shaped like a cow bell and the button is crowned by an onyx
gentian.
