Product Description Launched in 1969, the 849 pen by Caran d’Ache is a modern classic. Its instantly recognizable design, along with its lightweight aluminum body and its wear-resistant coating combine to make this not only a beautiful pen, but a practical one as well: extremely portable and perfect for everyday use. In addition to the classic solid color pens, Caran d’Ache has introduced other fashion lines: Metal-X, featuring metallic colors; the Astro pen, each featuring a separate astrological sign of the zodiac; the Cow pens in multiple colors; the Jungle pens, with zebra, tiger and leopard barrels; two Saint Bernard dog pens in brown and tan; and the Essentially Swiss pens featuring Switzerland themes.
