  • Aurora is the only Italian manufacturer that produce the entire pen in Italy. We were invited by Aurora to make a film about their production and show the craftsmanship of the Turin based company. They are one of the few companies left that create the nibs in house. We are very honoured we were able to show this to our followers!

    Thank you for posting this. My Aurora Afrika pen was a bit pricey at the time, but I consider it one of the best purchases I've ever made. It makes me happy each time I use it, and I use it daily.

    I have to say. I have an Aurora Optima in the stunning green Auroloid. Not only does it look spectacular but I have a BB nib and it is a buttery smooth delight. I can well believe their superb quality control because this pen is simply gorgeous.

    Fantastic. A special company that hopefully will be trading for many years. It really makes a fountain pen feel special to watch artisans at work.

    My Aurora Optima is the only luxury pen that has written perfectly out of the box for me. For example, I’ve had to return two Pelikan M1000s and one M800 due to defects. I’ve had issues with Sailor, Platinum, Lamy, Parker and others.

    Amazing! As a long-time fan of the AURORA brand (and a lover of stationery in general), thanks to your RUclips channel, for the first time, I was able to look into the very essence of production. I was impressed by the highest production culture, cleanliness and creative passion of both owners and ordinary workers. Even the black t-shirts on the staff - the logo on the back, and the Italian flag on the right sleeve - I imagine how proud the staff are that they are Italians and that they work in Aurora. Like and subscribe :0-) Konstantin (Ukraine).

    Mr. Appelboom, I do not know how I failed to watch the ‘How It’s Made” series before! I love Aurora and Montegrappa pens (one of my first pens was a gift from my University upon my retirement (a beautiful montegrappa). Since retiring, I have just become more obsessed with a more personal style of writing: fountain pen and paper instead of computers, printers, and required academic publications! Even my best students knew I taught law and finance, but my heart was always more focused on the classics, C.S. Lewis, theology, and philosophy. In those disciplines, it just seems wrong to not use pen and paper. Blessings always, KW

    I like Aurora. Of the modern ones I have Optima and 88. I do finds that their tines are a bit too tight so I had to spread them a bit but now they work great. Fit and finish on the body of the pen is however perfect, much better than Montblanc and comparable to Sailor.
