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
2pen 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 2comes
with the legendary Goliathgiant
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.
