Caran d'Ache Ecridor Avenue roller

Inspired by the cobblestone-paved lanes of Geneva, this new Ecridor reflects elegance and modernity. The Caran d'Ache craftsmen drew inspiration from this pattern, which represents both the cobblestones of Geneva and the links of a watchband. The matte finish gives this Ecridor a very contemporary look, following the aesthetics of watches to create a lasting legacy.

The fountain pen features a steel nib, available in various writing widths, and can be filled with cartridges or with the included converter from the ink bottle.

One of the most important pens in the history of Caran d'Ache is the Ecridor model. The name 'Ecridor' comes from the pencil factory (founded in 1915) that Arnold Schweitzer, the founder of Caran d'Ache, bought in 1924, located in the heart of Geneva. In 1929, Carl Schmid invented one of the first mechanical pencils, the 'Fixpencil', a name that was trademarked by Caran d'Ache. A few years later, the first hexagonal Ecridor mechanical pencils made their debut. In 1953, the logical next step was a matching ballpoint pen. Over the decades, this Ecridor model has proven itself many times over. This is thanks to the well-designed hexagonal shape, which makes the pens fit perfectly in the hand, and the Caran d'Ache ballpoint refill (Goliath), a refill considered one of the best in the world, guaranteeing at least 600 flawlessly written A4 pages.
