Notes
1) Geneve Blue Lacquer Fountain Pen.
The barrel features an enamel finish in deep blue with swirling black accents, while the cap and fittings are coated in rhodium and silver. The cap showcases a pinstripe pattern, with “Caran d’Ache Swiss” engraved on the cap ring and the logo embellished on the cap top. The nib is crafted from 18K gold and coated in rhodium.
2) Ecridor Retro Fountain Pen.
The hexagonal-shaped pen is adorned with a guilloché lozenge pattern and crafted in silver and palladium-coated brass, echoing the style of the 1947 mechanical pencils. The clip is engraved with “Caran D’Ache” and “Fabrication Swiss,” while the base bears the inscription “Clip Metal.” The red-coloured logo is inlaid on the cap top, and the nib is made from rhodium-coated steel.
3) Ecridor Type 55 Fountain Pen.
The pen features a hexagonal shape and sleek lines, elegantly finished in a silver-plated and rhodium-coated body. Inspired by the air takes of the 1967 Mustang, the pattern contrasts the matte and gloss finishes, adorned with a pair of 5s motif. The base of the clip is engraved with “Clip Metal”, the logo inlaid on the cap top, and the nib is made from rhodium-coated steel.
