Otto Hutt
Founded 1920 · Pforzheim, Germany · Karl Hutt
Otto Hutt is the quiet one of the nine: no scandalous limited editions, no campaigns, only silver, geometry and Bauhaus. It sits in Pforzheim, Germany's jewellery city, and does everything there, down to the electroplating and the polishing.
History
Karl Hutt opened the workshop in Pforzheim in 1920, and within the first year had twenty employees. He did not start with pens: he made smoking accessories, toothpicks and shaving sets in silver, and moved from there to writing instruments. He was a convinced follower of the Bauhaus, and that grammar — form follows function, zero ornament — is still the house's a century later. In the sixties the business passed to his son Otto, whose name the brand carries. Today the factory occupies larger premises in the same city, with more than seventy employees, and distributes in some twenty countries.

Worth knowing
The brand does not carry its founder's name. Karl Hutt opened the house in 1920; Otto was his son, who inherited it in the sixties, and it is his name that stayed on the caps.
