A family story
Marco Gatti starts working in 1985 in the family business, founded in Turin in 1923 by his grandfather, a distributor of two Swiss watch brands: Unitas and Arsa. After a few years, he moves to Tahiti enchanted by the splendour of the Polynesian pearls that he begins to distribute in Italy in 1987. In short time, the distribution of pearls is added to the precious stones inspiring his creative consultancies in Italy and abroad for luxury jewellery and watches brands. In 2013, Marco Gatti creates the first SPEEDOMETER OFFICIAL - MG bracelet, MG acronym of Marco Gatti Turin.
Philosophy
One of the best-known features of an underwater watch of any brand is the "bezel," the rotating ring that marks time in relation to depth. Big watch brands have always challenged themselves to develop this element to the maximum with customised designs and identifying their own brands, but without succeeding completely because all the watch manufacturers actually use the same bezels.
The real news is represented by SPEEDOMETER OFFICIAL that transposes in a unique and exclusive way in its products all the world of watches’ bezels, taking on an identity never experienced before.
SPEEDOMETER OFFICIAL products are 100% made in Italy using the best materials available on the jewellery and clothing markets. Our bracelets are "nickel free" guaranteed and non-toxic, in accordance with the strictest Italian laws. The steel we use is anti-scratch and waterproof, while the gold is pink, white or 18 KT yellow. All the diamonds set inside our bracelets are authentic and certified. For the most demanding customers, looking for more exclusive products, we provide a customization service of the bracelets with the formula of CREATE YOUR SPEEDOMETER allowing you to create luxury and refined objects by choosing the bases between steel, black steel, rose gold, gold white and yellow gold to match with more than 400 combined versions of strips with or without diamonds.
