New Onoto Website Imminent?

[the_gasman]

I'm confused. I was idly browsing Twitter a few moments ago when I saw a tweet from David Cooper, who left Onoto a couple of years ago to set up Bespoke British Pens. His Twitter ID is @OnotoPen.

 

He now tweets (2 hours ago) that there will soon be a new Onoto website with new pens for sale.

I doubt that he has returned to Onoto, so is he acting as web agent for them?

 

Anyone know any more?

 

Cheers,

David.

I was too tired to add more last night but I meant to say that the pens shown in the Twitter photos are the semi-transparent green, amber, etc., ones that were posted here on FPN some time in 2016. So, it may be old news, though I am curious about both the announcement of an up-coming Onoto website and also that it is David Cooper that is making the announcement.

 

Cheers,

David.

Onoto also posted about a new web site on FB.

The posts "the_gasman" refers to from 2016 were actually over a year ago, "Onoto New Designs, 25 January 2016" & indeed was inclusive of photographs of the new Magna models.

 

Almost three years ago, I diligently tried to purchase an Onoto, & despite reassurances from a gentleman there, that I was to be considered for purchase of the pen I wanted because they had several sources besides the pen being "sold out" on the website. I dutifully trusted this advice until I read a post here about a customer being offered the pen @ a pen show, when she was in fact looking @ another model of pen. She posted about how nice they had been to offer another pen for her consideration & how happy she was with her purchase. I then emailed the gentleman who I had been in contact with @ Onoto & he explained they surely couldn't refer to a wait list, when selling pens @ a pen show.

 

I thought no more about purchase from the Company, until I saw the post over a year ago & have awaited the inclusion of these new Magna models on the website. Now a year later it would appear that they may be "forthcoming."

 

I will be interested in seeing the new web site, just as I was last January 2016. The new Magna models shown are as attractive & appealing as they were then.

Hi

 

I confirm that I have had no connection with Onoto since the end of 2014 and have no idea whether a new website or new models are imminent. Not sure how/if someone else is posting on my old Onoto Twitter account - but it's certainly not me.

 

I thought I had previously taken down this account so will make sure it disappears this time!
