Chotovelli & Figli Watches: Creating Time Pieces with a Bit of History — Pressfarm

When people decide to purchase a watch, they want it to last because for any one out there that has bought one for themselves or as a gift, they can be very pricey. That is where Chotovelli & Figli comes in.

It all started in the late 1920s with Simone Chotovelli, the first Chotovelli watchmaker. He was well known for his craftsmanship in repairing and restoring old mechanical and automatic movements and from there, his family followed in his footsteps. In 1967, he passed on his knowledge of watchmaking to his son who carried on the legacy to become a well-established watchmaker, and now the third generation have continued this legacy and created the company.

Based in Antwerp, Belgium, Chotovelli & Figli is a third-generation watchmaking company that focuses on design, production, and sale of military-inspired watches at an attainable price. The company came about when one of the co-founders decided to something that was in his blood after being in the diamond industry managing sales for the biggest diamond tools manufacturer when he learned the process of manufacturing. So, after taking his father’s advice, who is second-generation watchmaker, to use his knowledge and know-how of watchmaking, he decided to start Chotovelli & Figli Watch Company.
