Description

The Caran d’Ache Ecridor Maya Mechanical Pencil is an elegant tribute to geometry, craftsmanship, and timeless Swiss design. Inspired by the intricate spiral motifs and architectural symbolism of ancient Mayan art, the Ecridor Maya transforms a practical everyday writing instrument into a refined object of precision and beauty.

Part of Caran d’Ache’s iconic Ecridor collection, the Maya edition features a richly detailed engraved pattern that wraps seamlessly around the pencil’s silver-plated body. Finished with a durable rhodium coating, the surface possesses a luminous depth and brilliance while offering exceptional resistance to wear and tarnishing over time.

The result is a writing instrument that feels both contemporary and enduring — sophisticated enough for executive environments, yet deeply tactile and satisfying for everyday use.

The Ecridor Maya retains Caran d’Ache’s legendary hexagonal silhouette, a design that has become synonymous with the Swiss manufacturer’s writing instruments. Inspired by the shape of traditional wooden pencils, the faceted profile provides outstanding ergonomics, prevents rolling, and delivers a naturally balanced writing experience.

Crafted entirely in Switzerland, the mechanical pencil reflects the precision engineering and meticulous finishing standards that have defined Caran d’Ache since 1915.

The smooth push-button mechanism advances 0.7 mm graphite leads with crisp reliability and precision, making the Ecridor Maya exceptionally versatile for note-taking, technical work, sketching, journalling, drafting, and professional writing tasks.

A discreet eraser is hidden beneath the push-button cap, maintaining the pencil’s clean aesthetic while adding practical everyday functionality.

Despite its refined appearance, the Ecridor Maya is designed to be used and enjoyed daily. The solid metal construction gives the pencil reassuring weight and durability, while the engraved surface creates a tactile quality that feels secure and comfortable during extended writing sessions.

Elegant, precise, and unmistakably Swiss, the Ecridor Maya Mechanical Pencil embodies the enduring pleasure of writing and creating by hand.
