Omas Grand Paragon Arco Bronce<\/p>\n
Armando Simoni was often heard to repeat \u201c fountain pen must make writing pleasurable\u201d. If writing is the key to a man\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
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\u2019s Pen fitted with a tiny clinical thermometer in the body of the fountain pen. Simoni\u2019s 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\u2019Italia \u2013 Knight of the Italian Crown- and thereafter acquired the moniker \u201cil Cavaliere\u201d.<\/p>\n
