We carefully produce each and every handmade wristwatch and table clock that has an antique design but is practical. The “Via Romana” watch is inspired by the streets of ancient Rome, Italy, which continues its ancient history to the present day. We give each type of watch the name of a road, and our aim is to create watches that will make you feel like you are walking on a Roman road 2,000 years ago when you wear them. We design our watches from scratch, including the case, dial, belt, and buckle, and manufacture them by hand. The case is designed using 3D CAD and manufactured by casting using the lost wax technique. The material is brass and has been oxidized to give it an antique look. The belt is made from cowhide and is handcrafted using the following steps: cutting, drilling, dyeing, hand-stitching, and fastening with metal fittings. As this is a handmade watch, no two are alike, but each piece is made with care and care. How about an antique clock that gets better the more you use it?
