History for Onoto

Onoto is the only quintessentially British fountain pen maker that connects historic innovations with the preservation of traditional skills. In 1905 Onoto created the first ever self-filling fountain pen, Onoto the Pen, and has since repeatedly proven its ingenuity by developing innovative products in a traditional category, like handmade fountain pens. Our limited collections of fountain pens are redolent of history and valued not only by connoisseurs but those who treasure rituals and cultural stories that help discover the eternal within.
