Elegance is in the Italian blood, and most Italians would unhesitatingly sacrifice comfort to achieve it. Italy is a nation that cherishes outward appearances. Yes, it is great if you have a good heart, but Italians would expect you to have well-groomed hair, an impeccable sense of dressing, a really neat pair of shoes and perfect accessories besides. Italians are not at all punctual, but nevertheless watches are very important in their fashion tradition. A wristwatch can be a perfect accessory to your outfit telling how stylish and elegant you are.

That’s why watchmaking tradition is rather strong in Italy, though the number of manufactories is not as vast as in Switzerland or Germany or France. Among Italian watchmaking brands there are a lot of world famous companies whose timepieces are absolute must-haves for real people of fashion. And besides every reputable fashion house in Italy (such as Armani or Ferragamo or others) has its own collection of marvelous watches to match its most elegant collections of clothing, handbags and footwear.

Designs of Italian brand watches draw their inspiration from fashion trends, reproducing certain elements that are more of psychological nature. Among the best known Italian watchmakers there are such famous names as Bvlgari, Officine Panerai, Bottega Veneta, Moschino, Roberto Cavalli, Armani, Versace and many others. Many famous Italian designers dedicate their time and creativeness to design of watches for the well-known fashion houses all over the world. Typical Italian brand watches are glorious, functional and fashionable and a great gift to give or receive. It’s even a great gift to give to yourself.

But Italian watches are not only fashion timepieces. The following high-tech watches have also an incredible huge success in the market:

· Il Manometro by the designer Mazzuoli (ultra-technical watch)
· TechnoGraphe by Paul Picot
· the new Anonimo models with GMT
· chronograph, or the powerful Arktos by Panerai

One of the most exclusive and successful examples of great Italian watchmaking is the De Bethune line. It’s designed by David Zanetta in the tradition of the art of Italian timekeeping.

DB24 Vetrois is a novelty by DE BETHUNE manufactory which combines four from the 5 patent products of the company. They are balance made of titanium and platinum, flat balance spring arcuate clip, triple shockproof system with a titanium gripper bridge and a device for the automatic movement intensiveness control. The owner of this watch can choose one from three winding speed modes: sporty, general and slow, depending on strength and intensiveness of hand moves. Special indicator, showing the speed, can be seen through the transparent back case and at the dial (horizontal double edged hand with L-M-N scales).

As the brand’s designers claim, the appearance of the watch has the spirit of New York architecture of 1930s. David Zanetta and Denis Flageollet have managed to take advantage of the use of titanium like William Van Allen did with steel to construct the spire of the Chrysler Building in one piece. 48-mm case is made of titanium. It reveals a dial in blued titanium with a brushed finish. The watch is based on the self-winding calibre DB2424 with a two-barrel system (balance frequency 28,800 vph, 53 jewels) which provides 6-days’ power reserve. Power reserve indicator is located at the 12 o’clock. The watch is water resistant to 500 metres.
