Aurora 88 Demonstrator Nera fountain pen

The launch, in 1952, of the legendary Aurora 88 fountain pen, was a milestone for the Italian company and for the writing instrument sector in general. Created by the famous industrial designer Marcello Nizzoli, it was born with the aim of facing the no less legendary Parker 51. To achieve this purpose, the Ottantotto combined its elegant design and impressive lines with the latest technical advances in the field in an ingenious combination of craftsmanship and modernity that dazzled the public and was, in the harsh post-war context, an important boost for the brand, which made this wonderful creation become the most famous Italian pen of all time and a true classic. of handwriting worldwide.

With these successful precedents, Aurora returns to its origins and brings to market an entire collection that, inspired by the Ottantotto model and maintaining the essence of its immutable classicism, gives it a touch of modernity to adapt it to new times.

The clearest exponent of this statement is, without a doubt, the Aurora 88 Demonstrator Nera, a bold reinterpretation of its predecessor that, with its cap and body made of high-quality transparent resin and its ornamental elements made of matte black ruthenium , is covered with a new skin that will not leave anyone indifferent.

Equipped with an integrated piston loading system, it incorporates an original reserve storage that, activated once the main tank has been consumed, allows writing about one more sheet, depending, of course, on the point of the nib.

This delicious work of art is completed with an extraordinary 18-carat solid gold nib coated with black ruthenium that, to the traditional thicknesses EF, F, M, B and BB, adds the possibility of mounting the italic and stub, thereby satisfying the more varied tastes and sensibilities.

The Demonstrator Nera fountain pen is presented in an elegant lacquered wooden case and belongs to the limited and numbered Aurora edition, with a production reduced to 1,888 copies that makes its lucky owners truly chosen.
