Caran d’Ache Retro Ballpen has revised the hexagonal shape and also unveiled a new facet on this collection.

Just as the face of a building seems to capture the light and reach up to the sky, the Caran d’Ache Retro form embraces the hexagonal shape in which the lines tumble and overlap. Its edges also softened by the squares that lie to the eye creating a sense of vertigo. The most delicate silver plating covers the body of this pen, engraved and then trimmed with rhodium. The name and hexagonal shape of the Ecridor have been emblems to Caran d’Ache since its creation, recognizable by its silver or rhodium finishes, and beautiful patterns etched into the surface by master engravers.

Indulge yourself with this fine Caran d’Ache Retro Ball Pen, and you will enjoy your writing for many years.
