Its name has come to represent technical perfection, aesthetic refinement and the pure pleasure of writing, although it started out as Officina Meccanica Armando Simoni. What is known today as instrument was the result of Armando Simoni's spontaneous need for expression, which meticulously, designed and crafted writing instruments.

Founded in Bologna, Italy during WWI Simoni applied his experience in precise mechanical engineering to the manufacture of writing instruments. His creativity, technical knowledge and superior design acumen enabled him to create new machines and processes for manufacturing pens. He invented a knurling machine, which engraved facets on pen barrel blanks, and developed equipment that could cut, shape and polish fountain pen nibs. And by 1925, his modest OMAS workshop had grown into a state-of-the-art factory.
