The readers of the famous Pen World magazine, collectors of exceptional objects or lovers of writing instruments, have chosen the most beautiful pen of the year: the 1010 Limited Edition.
The very demanding jury recognized the creativity and expertise of Caran d’Ache, based in Geneva. It also honoured the work of the craftsmen who combined their specialised skills and pushed their art to the limit to conceive, develop and manufacture this unique and precious object of art in the great “Swiss Made” tradition.
The pen was designed and produced as a tribute to fine Swiss watchmaking. 500 pieces are made in rhodium-coated silver and 10 in gold.
“The incredibly intricate design of the 1010 Limited Edition from Caran d’Ache, Maison de Haute Ecriture, is a magnificent celebration of the genius of Swiss watchmakers” said Marie Picon, the Editorial Director of PenWorld.
