According to legend, on one particular New Year, the Emperor of Jade summoned all the animals in creation to a mysterious meeting, promising them a special reward. Only 12 animals responded to the invitation. The Emperor then gave each of the twelve a year of their own, numbered in the order of their arrival, and that year would carry their name forever. The fifth sign is the Dragon, the only mythological animal to be included in the Chinese zodiac.
The Dragon, the legendary founder of Chinese civilization, guardian of the elements across the successive dynasties, and symbol of perseverance and success. To celebrate this year and confirm its admiration for Chinese culture, Caran d’Ache, Maison de Haute Ecriture, has created a new, prestigious writing instrument with a powerful character and full of positive virtues.
Designed and produced from start to finish in the company’s workshops in Geneva, the Léman instruments offer writing aficionados a comfort never felt before. Elegant contrasts are seen in the silver-plated and rhodium-coated attributes, topped with a lacquered button in a matching colour. An ode to lakeside settings, they will delight aesthetes looking for a timeless gift to offer or as a personal indulgence.
