    Caran d Ache Timekeeper 1010 Limited Edition fountain pen
    Caran d’Ache 1010 Limited Edition Limited Edition
    Caran d’Ache pays tribute to great Swiss watchmaking
    In Caran d’Ache’s Geneva studios and workshops, designers, engineers, craftsmen and gem setters have all pushed their skills to the extreme, combining their expertise to create the 1010 Limited Edition.Their rigorous standards and excellence in execution have made it possible to produce this unique and precious object in the great “Swiss Made” tradition.
    THE INTERIOR CAGE
    The interior cage represents the complex mechanism of a watch movement. It is crafted with great precision to fit perfectly inside the exterior cage.
    THE EXTERIOR CAGE
    The design is inspired by the bridges that support a watch’s gear train.To produce such a delicate motif and carry out cylindrical, rotary cutting without deformation, a highly complex programme had to be perfected: the only one of its kind in the world.
    THE BALANCE wheel
    The balance wheel is the key element that brings a watch to life. Caran d’Ache craftsmen have positioned it at the tip of the body, perfectly poised between two rubies. This very delicate element can been seen through a sapphire crystal dome that elegantly rounds off the body of this exceptional writing instrument.
    The cap is inspired by wristwatch crowns. It is made in rhodium- coated silver or 18-carat gold, polished by hand, with a clip that suggests a watch hand, attached to a pinion.
    Meticulous attention has been given to every detail, both in the visible elements and the interior parts such as the piston pump which is set with a ruby as in a winding crown.
    The Caran d'Ache monogram adorning the top of the cap is, quite simply, a piece of pure jewellery. Turners and engravers have contri- buted a great deal in producing this pen, and the ring carries the mark of the company’s Master Craftsman.
