Fatto A Mano Per Te
Every LIGURE is composed with care in our Laboratorio del Tempo. A lot of work goes into it before the LIGURE is on your wrist. Many specialists are involved in its creation. They have one thing in common: the pleasure of watchmaking for that one unique customer. Handmade by professional watchmakers who assembly your LIGURE. Join us on the journey that it is need to create a LIGURE.
Test and Adjust
The SELLITA SW200 movement is a Swiss precise instrument, with an accuracy of +/- 7 seconds a day.
Matching the official Swiss Chronometers institute.
The Time Team
A Ligure Timepiece is handcrafted. The parts are collected per order and assembled by experienced certified watchmakers in the workshop. After the amplitude has been adjusted, the tolerance has been set and the water resistance has been tested, they leave the workshop for the customer. The involvement and dedication of the entire team makes every LIGURE a timepiece that has received personal attention.
Little things make the big things happen
THE CROWN AT FOUR
The date window on the dial is a fixed feature, you expect it at three o'clock. The crown is often on the same position For the sake of wearing comfort, we set the crown exactly at four o'clock. Without getting too technical, the date disk in the movement then falls outside the window and making the date no longer visible.
From a cost saving perspective is often chosen to set the crown to '18', so that you do not have to make new date discs. We have chosen a different path because we believe that in our design the alignment of the crown with the four o'clock index on the dial is aesthetic and gives unity and balance.
The eye for detail is what sets our designer apart from the herd.
LIGURE Dry and W
Your LIGURE TARTARUGA is placed in a dry chamber and the air-pressure is increased to 10 atm. The machine detects the smallest variation in the case size. If the watch case expands, even slightly, then the watch is not water resistant and it will not pass the test.
THE LIGURE is placed in a chamber half filled with water and air. Air pressure increases while the watch is out of the water, and then the watch is slowly immersed in the water. Once the watch is completely immersed, the air pressure is slowly released. If bubbles come out of the watch it means that the watch is not water resistant. We use this method is generally used as a second test.
When a Watch Becomes a Timepiece ...
"It’s strange, but when a watch becomes a timepiece, we expect it to be worn by a gentleman. Truly, we can’t explain why; it has no connection with reason, or indeed,common sense for that matter, nevertheless, it’s the feeling that a LIGURE timepiece evokes. In an odd way, it transports you back in time to a slightly more formal age, but in an informal way. It’s not ‘retro’ in the true sense, but when you glance at it there’s just a hint of time gone by, and then it’s gone"
