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.

Solid phone holder
This tesla magsafe phone holder was easy to install and works well, its compatible with any tesla and the magsafe magnetic ring is very strong and secure to my phone, and im pretty happy with that, it also is pretty adjustable so I can angle it so I can see it better, and overall is a great addition to any tesla. I do wish that the part connecting to the back of the screen to mount it was removable, because the only way to mount it is with the included adhesive and I didn't like that so much The build quality feels great and is well made. Overall though if you dont mind the adhesive mount its a great magsafe phone holder for teslas

Almost perfect
Style: Screen+Charger
Solid mount. I’ve tried other ones but they don’t sit as nicely as this one. It also has a lot of adjustments to allow for using it any way you need it to so it is very versatile. The magnet strength is really good and holds my phone really well. Sometimes it feels too strong which I guess is a good thing. The charging works well but I wish the cable was a little longer

Almost Perfect But With Workaround it Rocks
Style: Dash+Screen+Qi2 Charger, Style: Dash+Screen+Qi2 Charger
This works almost perfectly in my Tesla, with one small tweak for hot summer conditions. It holds my phone very well overall—I position it slightly off-center at about the 10 o’clock position. However, with a larger phone like the Galaxy S25 Ultra, the combination of weight and summer heat can cause the mount to slowly rotate as the suction cup loses some grip. I found a simple fix that works extremely well: applying a small amount of rosin (the same kind used for violin bows) to the friction point where the rotating arm meets the suction base. That added grip completely solved the issue. Now the mount stays exactly where I position it, even in the heat. Solid product, and with that minor adjustment, it performs exactly how I need it to.
