Hello,

only recently discovered this brand. It seems to have more history than most brands out there, yet it is almost unknown it seems.

The name is a bit whacky. Wish they would've opted for something more creative.

Their history is borrowed from a previous existence.

Moratello Group acquired the company in 2006, with a focus on homage watches. Mainly quartz. $600 watches selling for $150-$250 in secondary markets.

Much like Gevril. Overpriced homage watches that don’t sell in department stores, only to be found later on Overstock.com and other clearance houses at massive markdowns.
