OMAS KRUG OAK WOOD BARREL LIMITED EDITION FOUNTAIN PEN

Krug’s extraordinary champagne is made from the combination of grapes coming from 21 different vineyards and from 6 to 10 different vintages, one of which dates back to the start of the 1970s. Memories of the Krug family, handed down from father to son for six generations, and of winemakers to capture the personality of each wine and to recreate, vintage after vintage, the essence of Krug. A reminder of this magnificent oak, modeled year after year by stupendous Krug vintages, sensual to the touch, and which liberates the flavors of the various grapes and wines. It undoubtedly deserved another life, taking shape now as this Limited Edition “Krug by OMAS”. Harmony of the senses, harmony created by wood and silver, harmony developed by two passionate Maisons: to celebrate the art of Blending and the art of Writing.

Armando Simoni was often heard to repeat “ fountain pen must make writing pleasurable”. If writing is the key to a man’s soul then OMAS designs speak about their creator. Simoni was an admirer of Greek culture and exalted his passion for classical studies in the creation of objects with a balanced design. Is not the famous twelve-sided Arte Italiana model reminiscent of a Doric column? This model is still produced today and has become a classic in the luxury fountain pen market. As well as aesthetic considerations, Armando Simoni had been interested in mechanics since he was a child.

By the age of 34 he had accumulated sufficient knowledge of the sector to found OMAS (Officina Meccanica Armando Simoni). During the 1930s he designed the twelve-sided model and the other great success story of the pre-war years, the Doctor’s Pen fitted with a tiny clinical thermometer in the body of the fountain pen. Simoni’s love of technical challenges resulted in the endless creation of surprising models; from the fountain pen with two nibs to the series with the transparent ink holder to emphasize lucent beauty. These exclusive items demonstrate the creative force of their designer. He was nominated Cavaliere della Corona d’Italia – Knight of the Italian Crown- and thereafter acquired the moniker “il Cavaliere”.
