The most exclusive production of Caran d'Ache, Maison de Haute Écriture, this elaborate set of artisan instruments is intended to "transport collectors back in time, along the along the shores of Geneva’s beautiful Lac Léman". Each piece in the trilogy captures the splendor of Lake Geneva in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, with landscapes from old maps and quotations of three renowned authors that were guests on the lake’s shores engraved on the silver, gold and platinum-plated bodies accented with black and white lacquer. The three authors honored in this set are Voltaire, Chateaubriand and Tolstoy, and a clever mechanism in the pens is manually engaged to reveal words spoken by each of them. Specially-engraved 18K gold nibs, size medium. 

Outer box, lacquered wood display box with plush leather tray compartmented for three pens, separate box with two maps, several booklets, a key to the display case, an owner's guide book and other accoutrements, and certificate of authenticity signed by Phillipe de Korodi, CEO of Caran d'Ache. 

Limited Edition: each pen is numbered 28/300. Only 30 complete sets were issued. Excellent condition, pens not inked, display case and contents immaculate.
