Caran d’Ache invites you to escape into a winter landscape with the Alpine Frost Special Edition. Drawing inspiration from the pristine shimmer of frozen lakes and the clean lines of snow-covered peaks, this collection celebrates the quiet beauty of winter. Rendered in pearly white and polar blue hues, the 849™ ballpoint pens are delicately decorated with motifs reminiscent of glistening ice crystals.

Renowned as the “unbreakable pen,” the 849 is a true Swiss icon. Its slim, hexagonal metal body is engineered to endure the demands of everyday life, yet remains compact enough to slip effortlessly into a pocket or notebook, always ready when inspiration strikes. Equipped with the legendary Goliath cartridge, the 849 offers exceptional writing longevity—so enduring it often outlasts the need for replacement. The precisely manufactured stainless-steel tip delivers a consistently smooth writing experience from the very first stroke, with no smudging, skipping, or leaking—just reliable performance when you need it most.

Manufactured in Geneva, Switzerland, the 849 ballpoint pen embodies Caran d’Ache’s proud Swiss heritage. Rigorous quality control is applied at every stage of production to preserve this legacy and ensure that each pen leaving the workshop meets the highest standards. Refillable and built to last, the 849 reflects the brand’s creativity, craftsmanship, and enduring values. It offers a distinctive way to elevate everyday writing—perfect for purists who value authenticity, individuality, and the pleasure of putting pen to paper while embarking on new ideas and projects.
