Yesterday, I covered a story of a top Limited Edition Watch brand by Alessandro Baldieri and I was somewhat inaccurate on what I reported. So I decided to set the record straight and go one on one with Mr. Baldieri himself:
SP: What made you switch from designing luxury houses to creating watches?
Ab: I didn't switch but the passion of collecting watches in the past brought me to challenge myself from designing a collection as it is very complex to do and I succeeded.
SP: Where does your inspiration and creativity come from?
Ab: Nature, sea, land and 2000 years of Roman culture and history running through my veins. Example, I created the Seamonster on a sailboat traveling from Turkey to Italy. That was Amazing...
Seamonster GMT
SP: What were some of the challenges you faced when first launching your watch brand?
Ab: Critics as people never heard the name before but still a good chunk bought them because of the quality and design.
SP: How long does it take to design and manufacture one of your great watches?
Ab: To design for me it's easy as I need to be inspired to do something. To manufacture 8 months as I look for the best.
SP: Are your parts Swiss movements? If not, what country of origin?
Ab: I now use MIYOTA movements only and in the process to design my own movements with an old master and movement designer.
SP: Out of all the timepieces you have completed thus far, which is your favorite and why?
Ab: The Seamonster because of the journey on the water. An unforgettable experience..
SP: Where can someone purchase your great product just in time for the Holidays?
Ab: www.alessandrobaldieri.com as I don't have distribution in the USA as of yet.
SP: Lastly, when someone purchases a Limited Edition Alessandro Baldieri watch, what should they expect?
Ab: Quality, unique character and most of all individuality. My watches make people talk and get lots of attention.
Since each peice in his collection is Limited Edition you may want to get your order before supplies run out.
