[Caran d’Ache](https://www.carandache.com/?ref=news.knockology.com) has put a miniature view of Geneva on a new blue mechanical pencil. The [849 Toile de Jouy set](https://www.carandache.com/ch/fr/stylo-bille/set-stylo-bille-porte-mine-849-toile-de-jouy-blanc-bleu-p-11705.htm?fromHome&ref=news.knockology.com) pairs a 0.5 mm pencil with a cream-colored ballpoint, reversing the colors of the illustrated pattern between the two. The Swiss official store lists the complete set at **CHF67**.

The pencil is part of the maker’s Toile de Jouy – Geneva Edition holiday collection. Caran d’Ache credits artist [Suzanne Pinon](https://www.suzannepinon.com/?ref=news.knockology.com) with the pattern: small scenes inspired by the city where the company began, translated onto hexagonal aluminum barrels.

## A cityscape on six faces

On the pencil, cream linework sits over satin blue lacquer. The official images reveal boats, a hot-air balloon and waterfront details along the facets and beneath the clip. It gives the edition something to inspect at close range: the decoration breaks into little scenes along the barrel instead of reading as one large logo.

Caran d’Ache specifies 0.5 mm HB lead, a built-in eraser and a lead reservoir reached by removing the pushbutton. The clip and button are nickel-plated steel, and the set is Swiss Made. The store’s F and M choices refer to the ballpoint refill; both versions include the same 0.5 mm pencil.

## The price is for the pair

The CHF67 Swiss listing includes the pencil, ballpoint and gift box. For US readers, a [public supplier listing on Faire](https://www.faire.com/product/p%5F27akzufhrn?ref=news.knockology.com) quotes a US$110 MSRP for the set. That is a suggested retail price; confirmed US consumer stock and a retail launch date remain unverified.
