The story of OREFICI dates back to 1933, when Umberto Cipolla’s grandfather; Luigi Farioli became an ore¬ce, which means goldsmith in Italian. Umberto’s grandfather had a jewelry store in which he designed handcrafted beautiful pieces of jewelry. He was more than a jewelry maker; he was an artist. His shop was located in the center of Milan in the district where high value collectibles were made and traded at the time. This district still exists today and there is even a Via Ore¬ci running down the middle. Umberto now takes his son Nicholas to the collectables district whenever they are in Milan as they move into the future together with the brand, OREFICI Watches.In 1933 all the jewelry was handcrafted with meticulous care and supreme attention to the smallest detail. There were many aspects to creating such ¬ne jewelry back than that OREFICI still use today to carry on the history, style and tradition from 1933 in today's timepieces. Italy has always been well known for innovation, fashion, and design with Milan being the heart of Italy's creativity. The visions and combined ideas of the OREFICI design team are greatly in uenced by Milan's history, trends and lifestyle. This very niche sets OREFICI apart from other watchmakers and a leader within its own unique category of excellence. OREFICI designs high-end one of a kind timepiece for men and women, ranging from big, bold and powerful to small, sleek and stylized. Each timepiece is meticulously crafted and produced with state of the art materials and processes. As OREFICI has been passed down from one generation to the next in my family, OREFICI wishes the same for you and your family. The new vintage watches are classic models that resemble and represent the styles present in watch wear around the 1950s. They are beautifully adapted and suited for occasions that require great elegance. The manner in which these pieces were tailored, reflects a time where refined elegance was brought out in each detail of an accessory. Because such high standards were set, the vintage collection went above and beyond to consolidate antique beauty at its finest to illuminate the future of classic watches. The attentive care, taken to refine the details in each part of a model, can be observed in the sophisticated form that the watch takes at its entirety. As wholes, the pieces speak for themselves when they are witnessed as objects of great finesse that, with their fusion of classic and contemporary influence, will become a trend-setting accessory. As individual functioning components of a watch, the pieces convey, in detail, the delicate style of vintage watches combined with the contemporary style that Orefici has incorporated into this collection. The perfect balance of modern and classic was not only captured in the cases, but also in the Italian hand-made vintage straps that truly complete the watch with a final touch of suede and cultural splendor.
