Watch Out: New Brand Coming Through

By Stefan Doyno December 30, 2012

Enrico Margaritelli, a third generation Italian watch-maker whose past work includes collaborations with Emporio Armani and Fossil has designed a new line of watches inspired by the stopwatch, the CT Scuderia.

Margaritelli cites his grandfather, Ariodante Margaritelli as being his biggest inspiration. His grandfather, a watchmaker who worked in Parma, Italy, crafted high tech watch instruments during World War I and World War II, and clearly the talent of the timepiece runs in the family.

With its interchangeable straps, intricate details and fine lines and curves, this watch exudes Margaritelli’s passion and strong vision for his family’s legacy and the art of watch making.

“The clean lines of CT Scuderia were envisioned by Enrico’s enthusiasm for experimenting with unusual shapes, lines, and patterns,” the company says.

This ultra stylish and sporty watch is on the larger side, 46 mm and can be separated from the wristband and worn around the neck in true “stopwatch” fashion. The watch also features a reinforced stainless steel buckle and a unique case back that sports in enamel the colors of the Italian flag.

Since the watch’s straps are interchangeable, you can opt for an ultra-soft silicon version.

This watch is perfect as a sportier, everyday watch. The perforated leather strap which is hand assembled in Switzerland resembles the same type of leather used inside luxury sports cars, which makes sense since the company notes that the CT Scuderia is “the perfect match for the world of elite sport-racing.”

4 summer-ready watches you should wear in winter

These summer watches really work all year long

Just as you stow away your lightweight jackets and tees when winter hits, perhaps you’ve taken the same approach with your watch rotation, putting aside your cotton or nylon straps in place of old standbys during the chilly months. We’re here to tell you that it doesn’t have to be that way — you absolutely can wear your favorite summer watch during the depths of winter. In fact, so many summer watches can perform just as well during the winter months. Take the rugged NATO strap, which can add a solid shot of texture and color to more classic, monochrome outfits. Or consider the stainless steel dive watch, a style worn with impunity by menswear icons like James Bond even when not taking a deep-sea dive.

The field watch is a staple in menswear. Like most menswear pieces, you can trace their history back to the military. When watches made the jump from pockets to wrists to allow soldiers, sailors, and pilots to fly, navigate, and fight with both hands, the field watch debuted in the trenches of World War I. Now, they are the perfect addition to your watch collection and serve you well in the summer and even better in the winter.
