The elegance of the dragon portrayed in red and gold

Caran d’Ache has set out on a new creative adventure with the 849 Dragon, a special edition combining shades of red and gold. For the first time in its history, the Swiss company is celebrating the Chinese zodiac on its iconic 849.

Designed and manufactured in its workshops in Geneva according to the most stringent quality demands of the Swiss Made label, this special edition 849 is adorned with a multitude of scales in tribute to the dragon, a legendary creature that represents good fortune, power and prosperity in Chinese culture.

This original and elegant piece embodies the company’s know-how in terms of color applied to the emblematic and timeless design of the 849. With its golden slimpack, matching the gilding on the scales, the Special Edition 849™ Dragon presents itself as the perfect gift, where every detail is sure to delight design aficionados.
