The Caran d'Ache Ecridor 1901-2000 Silver Coated Ballpoint Pen commemorates a century of Swiss craftsmanship through one of the brand's most recognizable luxury writing instrument platforms. Released to mark the transition into the new millennium, the edition combines the architectural precision of the Ecridor collection with engraving inspired by the evolution of industrial and decorative design throughout the twentieth century.
Unlike more contemporary Ecridor patterns that focus on a single repeating motif, the 1901-2000 edition carries a stronger commemorative character. The engraved silver-coated body reflects the geometric refinement and technical precision that have long defined Caran d'Ache while also serving as a tribute to the brand's century-long manufacturing heritage.
Craftsmanship & Design
The pen features the classic hexagonal Ecridor silhouette crafted from brass and finished with a silver-coated surface. The engraved patterning introduces layered geometric detailing that interacts dynamically with light across each facet of the body, creating subtle visual variation while preserving the clean proportions of the design.
The polished clip and push-button mechanism provide contrast against the engraved silver finish, giving the pen a restrained monochromatic appearance that feels elegant without becoming overly ornate. As with other Ecridor models, the engraving is exceptionally crisp and precise, reflecting the machining tolerances associated with Swiss manufacturing.
The hexagonal body remains central to both the aesthetics and functionality of the pen. In addition to reinforcing the architectural design language of the collection, the faceted profile prevents rolling and creates a naturally stable grip during writing.
Writing Experience
The Ecridor 1901-2000 Ballpoint Pen is fitted with Caran d'Ache's renowned Goliath refill, widely respected for its smooth writing performance, reliability, and exceptional ink capacity. The refill delivers controlled and consistent ink flow suitable for both daily note-taking and professional writing environments.
The brass body gives the pen noticeably more substance than lightweight aluminum models, creating a more deliberate and grounded writing experience. Combined with the engraved surface texture and balanced proportions, the result feels tactile, stable, and highly refined during extended use.
Brand Heritage
Founded in Geneva in 1915, Caran d'Ache has built an international reputation around precision Swiss manufacturing and highly functional industrial design. The Ecridor collection in particular has become one of the brand's most enduring luxury lines, known for pairing intricate guilloche engraving with reliable everyday usability.
The 1901-2000 edition reflects Caran d'Ache's broader commitment to commemorating its manufacturing heritage through restrained and technically sophisticated design rather than excessive ornamentation. Even decades after its release, the pen retains a distinctly timeless presence within the Ecridor lineup.
