Justiniani
Justiniani is a Mexican independent watch microbrand founded by Ignacio T. Justiniani, an academic and researcher whose design philosophy centers on historical narratives, myths, and legends rather than traditional aviation or diving themes. The brand distinguishes itself through a focus on “historical horology,” incorporating specific cultural artifacts into its timepiece designs, such as the use of the Greek letter phi (φ) in its logo to represent the golden ratio. Justiniani’s portfolio includes the Odysseus, a model inspired by Greek mythology, and the Gilgamesh, which features a dial engraved with cuneiform text from the “Flood Tablet” of the Epic of Gilgamesh and an exhibition case back showcasing a custom rotor with a Lamassu figure. These timepieces typically utilize mechanical movements, such as the premium Miyota 9133, and emphasize high-specification materials like 316L stainless steel, sapphire crystals with multiple anti-reflective layers, and Swiss BGW9 Super-LumiNova.
