The name says it all: the Ecridor Rétro from Caran d'Ache harkens back to the first ballpoint pen model that this Swiss writing utensil company produced in 1947. The compostion consisting of different metals as well as the delicate guilloche engraved diamond-shaped patterns copy the ballpoint pen from the past and impart classical and consciously minimalist elegance. Along with this optical minimalism the pen is also very impressive because of its durability and longevity: thanks to its goliath ink cartridge the pen is able to fill 600 A4 pages with an unbroken series of letters (according to the manufacturer).
