Ugolini Meccanica Watches is an independent Italian horological brand based in Rome, founded by artisan Riccardo Ugolini. The brand is defined by a technical and industrial aesthetic, specializing in the creation of small-batch and unique timepieces. A significant portion of the brand’s appeal lies in its use of CNC-machined technical materials such as anodized aluminum, carbon fiber, bronze, and titanium, which are often chosen for their strength, lightness, and distinct visual identity. Collectors are also drawn to the brand’s functional, multi-part construction that frequently features visible structural elements like screws and technical finishes.
The brand’s catalog includes a diverse range of models that utilize both mechanical and digital movements. Key pieces include: – EVT-01: The brand’s first handmade digital watch, which is housed in a custom-machined metal case.
– Forza: A diving-inspired model featuring a 43mm aluminum case and a carbon fiber dial, powered by an automatic movement.
– XPL: A 39mm aluminum tool watch equipped with a Japanese NH36 mechanical movement.
– Corsaro: A 41.5mm handcrafted timepiece that combines aluminum, bronze, and carbon fiber within a uniquely designed case.In addition to these models, Ugolini Meccanica Watches offers custom watch design services, allowing for the development of fully customized solutions based on their existing models, including modifications to the caseback, dial, and bezel. Pieces are often made available through custom orders or specialized auction platforms.
