The
new Madison 2 ballpoint pen and mechanical
pencil bring together main features of two famous Caran d’Ache
collections: The
slim elegance of the first Madison
collection, launched in the 1970s, and the articulated clip of the
Léman
collection that has been a success since 1998.
However,
an innovative mechanism has been developed specifically for the Madison 2:
the method of advancing the cartridge or the lead. It only takes a
gentle
pressure to slide the entire cap of the pen forwards.
As with
its predecessors, the body of the new instruments is made of solid
brass. A
wide choice of surface finishes means there is something to please
every taste:
a beautiful decoration of
‘Ciselé’ or
‘Clou de Paris’ engraving patterns, entirely plated in gold or silver
with a
rhodium finish. There are also two-colour models with a luminous blue
lacquer
and rhodium-coated silver, as well as versions with a shiny black
lacquering
and goldplating or silverplating with rhodium finish.
The
spring-loaded, articulated clip provides great flexibility of use and
guarantees longevity. The top of the cap of the Madison 2 pen is gently
bevelled and engraved with the ‘CdA’ monogram, while a ring carrying
the name
‘Caran d’Ache’ circles the other end.
As with
other ballpoint pens at the top of the Caran d’Ache range, the Madison 2 comes with the
legendary Goliath giant cartridge that can write
up to 600 A4 pages. The
mechanical pencil carries leads of 0.7mm diameter. To change the
cartridge,
load new leads or use the built-in eraser, it is only necessary to
unscrew the
upper part of the instrument.
