Description

The Art of Swiss Colour and Craftsmanship

Part of the celebrated Les Couleurs du Léman collection, the Léman  reflects the fleeting, spiritual moment when the morning sun ignites the waters of Lake Geneva. The brilliant  hues are achieved through layers of meticulously applied, silky-smooth Chinese lacquer over a solid brass body, giving the pen a satisfying, luxury weight in the hand.

Contrasting beautifully with the vibrant  barrel, in the Bi-Color models, the cap features elegant godron (line) engraving on silver-plating. To ensure this brilliance lasts a lifetime without oxidising or tarnishing, the silver is layered with rhodium—a rare platinum-group metal known for its extreme hardness and scratch resistance. Every detail, from the fluid spring-loaded clip to the iconic “CdA” monogram on the crown, embodies the pinnacle of Swiss fine writing.
