Caran d'Ache Caran dAche Varius™ Edelweiss Vulpen – Limited Edition – F

The Caran d'Ache Varius Edelweiss fountain pen is a limited writing instrument that combines Swiss craftsmanship with symbolic design elements. With a length of 136.3 mm, a diameter of 11.1 mm, and a weight of 43 grams, this fountain pen features a brass body with a screw-on cap made of Swiss beech wood, complemented by silver-plated and rhodium accents. The writing system includes an 18-carat gold nib with a rhodium coating, available in three nib sizes: F (fine), M (medium), and B (broad). A silver-plated and rhodium-coated clip bears the Caran d'Ache emblem with a white-painted hexagonal design. Each pen carries the limited edition number 1 of 1784, referencing the year 1784 when the name Edelweiss originated. This numbering is engraved on the pen's writing block and the accompanying authenticity card. The pen is equipped with a piston filling mechanism and includes two idyllic blue ink cartridges that are compatible with all Caran d'Ache Chromatics refills. The presentation includes a midnight blue, grained calf leather case, made in Europe, measuring 21 x 11.5 x 7.5 cm and weighing 641 grams without the writing instrument. The packaging consists of a cardboard box covered with high-quality, textured midnight blue paper, featuring a relief pattern on the inside of the lid, inspired by the Matterhorn and the Edelweiss flower, with a magnetic closure and protective inner cardboard. This limited fountain pen edition represents a striking combination of precision manufacturing, natural materials, and symbolic elements of Swiss heritage.
