Platinum Curidas Prism Crystal: the fountain pen you write with in one click
The Platinum Curidas pairs the convenience of a retractable ballpoint with the smooth writing of a Japanese fountain pen. Press the button and the nib extends, ready to write; press it again and it retracts safely inside the barrel. No cap, no fuss.
In the Prism Crystal finish, the resin barrel is fully transparent, so you can watch the retraction mechanism at work, with silver accents adding a modern, refined touch.
Why you'll love it
- Instant writing: one click and you're ready, perfect for quick notes or signing documents.
- Airtight internal seal: instead of a cap, a gasket protects the nib and keeps the ink from drying out. It handles idle periods much better than a conventional fountain pen.
- Clear demonstrator-style barrel: a design for those who enjoy seeing how their pen works.
- Removable clip: if it gets in your way while writing, take it off with the small tool included.
- Platinum stainless steel nib, available in extra fine (EF), fine (F) or medium (M).
A name with a story
"Curidas" combines curiosity with the Japanese word kuridasu, meaning "to extend", a nod to the nib that extends with every click. It comes from Platinum Pen Co., founded in Japan in 1919 by Shunichi Nakata.
