Overview

Inspired by jewelry and watchmaking, the Caran d’Ache Varius Lights ballpoint pen combines gemstone-like guilloché with a marbled black onyx cabochon.

Lights draws on two crafts: jewelry and watchmaking. Its baguette-diamond guilloché recalls the facets of precious stones, while finer guilloché on the top detail echoes watch crowns. Silver plating and a palladium coating cover the brass body, brought to a mirror polish that emphasizes the engraved geometry. A marbled black onyx cabochon crowns the design. The Caran d’Ache logo is laser-engraved beneath the clip, with a laser-engraved hexagon at the top.

The edition is limited to 100 instruments, with the number recorded on the Limited Edition certificate. The wood presentation box has a leather-effect covering and a reversible support for one or two pens. A protective outer box, precious-stones certificate, and user guide complete the presentation.

The Swiss-made ballpoint uses a push-button mechanism and accepts Caran d’Ache Goliath refills, with a black refill included. It measures 135.1 mm long with a barrel diameter of 10.6 mm and weighs 55 g.

Questions & Answers

Is the black detail on top a stone?

Yes. The marbled black onyx cabochon is a stone, complementing the gemstone-inspired Lights guilloché. The finer engraving on the top detail takes its inspiration from watch crowns.

Where is the edition number recorded?

The number appears on the Limited Edition certificate. The pen also comes with a precious-stones certificate and user guide, in a wood box with a leather-effect covering, a reversible support for one or two pens, and a protective outer box.

Which refill does it take?

It takes Caran d’Ache Goliath ballpoint refills and comes with a black refill. A push-button mechanism operates the tip.
