Caran D'Ache Limited Edition Secret Journey II: Chateaubriand Rollerball Pen

Secret Journey II:
Chateaubriand - 19th century
"One of those beautiful nights that God seems to create for Switzerland alone... "

Caran d'Ache reveals one of Switzerland's most beautiful secrets, Secret Journey II, the second treasure in its trilogy of writing instruments. With the launch of the "Secret Journey II", Caran d'Ache celebrates the time that Chateaubriand spent in Geneva. Chateaubriand was one of the most celebrated personalities of his time, with a great love of art and culture. Because he was inspired by the beauty of the shore around the city of Geneva, delicate illustrations of the lake area are finely engraved on the body of the writing instruments, finished in rose gold plate and black lacquer. They contain a secret mechanism: when activated by hand, the "Côte de Genève" decoration, widely used in fine watchmaking, reveals a hidden quotation from the author as well as a ruby, the colour of passion, symbolically placed on the city of Geneva. Each detail relates to the romantic period that was so important to Chateaubriand, the great seducer.
