We are excited to announce the new Limited Edition from Caran d’Ache, the Caelograph Fountain Pen. This platinum coated Limited Edition pen is now available to buy, please note we only have a limited number of pens available.
As an instrument for writing and for observation, the Caelograph symbolises the union of arts and science, of man and stars. It is a compelling tribute to astronomy. With a name that literally means “Write the sky” its ingenious mechanism allows you to see the position of the stars and the constellations at any given time, on any date.
Caran d’Ache Caelograph Alpha 30 Limited Edition Fountain Pen features a chart of the sky that is delicately engraved on midnight blue Chinese lacquer impregnated with silver particles. The grooves on the cap and writing block are the hour lines and the pens tip is embellished with a compass rose.
The cap of each pen is impregnated with particles of aluminium, and engraved with the hour lines associated with sundials. The barrel has 51 constellations and 353 stars are delicately engraved on midnight blue Chinese lacquer.
The sky chart is mobile in order to indicate the position of the stars at any chosen time. This astonishing capability is made possible by an exclusive mechanism based on two rings. One of the rings is mobile and is dedicated to the time, while the fixed ring is marked in days and months. By adjusting their position, the map can be set to the precise time and date required. A rotating semi-transparent sleeve reveals the visible part of the sky, indicates the horizon line, the compass points and the zenith.
