The Caran d'Ache Ecridor Fountain Pen - Type 55 pays tribute to one of the most iconic designs in the history of Swiss writing instruments. Inspired by the original Ecridor models introduced during the 1950s, the Type 55 combines vintage styling with modern precision, celebrating a period when mechanical excellence and understated elegance defined an entire generation of luxury goods. Through its distinctive engraved pattern, hexagonal silhouette, and precious metal finish, the Type 55 captures the spirit of mid-century design while remaining unmistakably contemporary.

The Ecridor collection occupies a unique place within the Caran d'Ache portfolio. Introduced in the 1950s and still produced in Switzerland today, it remains one of the longest-running luxury writing instrument collections in continuous production. The Type 55 pattern specifically draws inspiration from the original decorative motifs found on vintage Ecridor models, allowing modern enthusiasts to experience a design language that helped establish Caran d'Ache's reputation for precision metalworking and refined engraving.

Craftsmanship & Design

The Ecridor Type 55 is crafted from brass and finished with a silver-plated, rhodium-coated surface that provides exceptional durability while preserving the brilliant appearance of precious metal. Across the pen's signature hexagonal body, an intricate geometric guilloché pattern recalls the decorative engraving found on historic Ecridor models of the 1950s. The resulting surface creates a sophisticated interplay of light and shadow, allowing the pen to appear subtly different as it is rotated in hand.

The collection's hexagonal silhouette has become one of the defining visual signatures of Caran d'Ache. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the six-sided profile offers excellent ergonomics, prevents the pen from rolling across a desk, and provides a secure grip during writing sessions. The design demonstrates the Swiss philosophy that beauty and functionality should exist in perfect balance.

Enthusiasts often appreciate the Type 55 because it feels simultaneously vintage and modern. Its engraved pattern evokes the golden age of mechanical writing instruments, while its precise finishing and contemporary construction reflect the exacting standards of modern Swiss manufacturing.

Writing Experience

The Caran d'Ache Ecridor Type 55 Fountain Pen is fitted with a stainless steel nib that delivers the smooth, controlled writing experience for which Swiss-made writing instruments are widely respected. The nib provides reliable ink flow and a pleasant balance between smoothness and precision, making it equally suitable for everyday writing, journaling, and professional correspondence.

The metal construction gives the pen reassuring substance without becoming excessively heavy. The hexagonal barrel naturally settles into the hand, providing stability and control during extended writing sessions. Filling is accomplished through a cartridge/converter system, allowing writers to enjoy both the convenience of cartridges and the versatility of bottled fountain pen inks.

Brand Heritage

Founded in Geneva in 1915, Caran d'Ache has spent more than a century cultivating a reputation for exceptional Swiss craftsmanship and precision manufacturing. The company remains one of the few writing instrument manufacturers that continues to design and produce its writing instruments entirely in Switzerland, overseeing nearly every stage of production with an unwavering commitment to quality and engineering excellence.

The Ecridor collection has played an especially important role in the Maison's history. First introduced in the 1950s, it became one of Caran d'Ache's defining luxury writing instruments and remains a benchmark for precision engraving and metal finishing. The Type 55 edition honors this heritage by reviving one of the collection's most recognizable historical patterns, creating a writing instrument that connects modern enthusiasts with a significant chapter in Swiss writing instrument history.

Great for pore reduction
Color: Cyano Pink Spicule
This product works great!! it almost feels like an exfoliator. It reduced the pours on my nose, which were very big and now you can barely see them. I would recommend this product if you have large pores also make skin look firmer and smoother more for a night cream though.

Micro-needling effect!
Color: Cyano Pink Spicule
Love how you can feel the micro-needling effect. I use this is my first application after toning and follow up with my serum and moisturizing routine. I do believe it gives my face a plump feeling, especially after gua sha. Will continue to use in my daily!

Helps my moisturizer absorb better
Color: Cyano Pink Spicule
I’m not quite sure if the product is fully working the way it is supposed to but I do like that when I use this and the apply moisturizer, it absorbs into my skin better and leaves my skin smoother and a lot less greasy. It’s easy to throw in my travel bag because of the size and you really only just need a little for each use so it goes a long way got the cost.
