Deep black sanded chrome finish, radiator grill engraving, palladium-plated outlines, vivid flashes of red…

No, it’s not a racing car, but it is inspired by one: introducing the Ecridor Racing ballpoint pen from Caran d’Ache.

Caran d’Ache comes from the word ‘karandash’ that is the Russian term for ‘pencil’.

In a nod to the brand’s iconic coloured pencil design, the Ecridor has a hexagonal body.

It’s a gentle reminder that you have more than 100 years of design expertise at your fingertips.
