A Roman Classic is Born

The Romans used various ancient timekeeping devices. According to Pliny, Sundials, or shadow clocks, were first introduced to Rome when a Greek sundial captured from the Samnites was set up publicly around 293-290 BC.

The Petochi family has always collected original Roman coins, it is in our history and we are offering them in a new fresh way that has a story. Each watch is a piece of Roman history.

This collection of watches was designed and manufactured in the traditional Swiss manner, with our partnership with Ernst Benz renowned for their accuracy, durability and design. 

Ernst Benz exemplifies their slogan, ‘Precision Instruments For Timekeeping’ continuing to develop and manufacture timepieces made in the time-honored tradition and the fine art of watchmaking.
