The Italian brand Giuliano Mazzuoli has released a new watch for this upcoming fall. This version is the Manometro collection. The original manometer launched back in 2004 when founder Mazzuoli decided to take his skills as a typographer to a watchmaker. He first started manufacturing pens/pencils and coffee pots. Later he turned his attention to wristwatches.
Mazzuoli wanted something other than conventional designs. Instead of the basic dials, he chose to draw inspiration from a pressure gauge. The word “manometro”, in fact, translates to pressure gauge in English. Although many collections such as the Contagiri, Manometro has always been the flagship collection.
The Manometro Camouflage is a time-only watch with three hands from the center. The watch features a chunky 45.5mm x 13.5mm case, offset winding crown at 2 o’clock, and is powered using the trusty ETA 2824 movement. Hence the name, the “camouflage” pattern is available in four different colors – forest green, navy blue, desert beige and urban black. And equipped with the dial and strap of each matching and respective watch in a complementing colour.
Its case is made strictly in Italy, in Mazzuoli’s Florentine, Tavarnelle Val di Pesa laboratories using a composite material of coloured resin in a great labour-intensive process. These colors can be achieved by using pigments extracted from stones and minerals and have a high resistance to both light and heat.
