History

The Gucci house was founded in 1921 selling leather products and then clothing, shoes and accessories. It is only in 1972 that Gucci introduces watches in giving a license to Severin Montres, company owned by Severin Wundermann. In 1997, Gucci bought the company and started to develop more products, some becoming iconic wristwatches like the “Bamboo”. All the watches are manufactured in Switzerland, with the watch Swiss tradition. Their wristwatches are beyond fashion as you have watches with manual wind movement and/or chronograph using gold, precious stones, rubber or wood. The distinctive sign of the Gucci brand is the green-red-green strap and G logo.
