Mazzuoli is, above all, a creator. He is an Italian Designer, born in 1947 who adores beautiful objects and cars. He lives and works in the hills above Florence, from where he originated. While Director of the family printing business Mazzuoli becomes engaged in the creation of pen models which are highly appreciated.
A true creator. He had no watchmaking training and although he is attracted to watches, he knew nothing about their mechanics. His approach is entirely conditioned by his taste for design and the aesthetics. He noticed a Manometer at his doctor’s house. He then had the idea of creating a watch in the form an instrument for measuring pressure, while retaining its usual features: immediate, accurate reading and above all, sobriety. “I was really inspired by its simplicity. However, there is nothing more difficult than designing simplicity.” He explains. In his hands the watch is not considered as the result of complex technicalities that fascinate watch enthusiasts but as a simple, practical, elegant mechanical object. He gives it unique and recognizable ergonomics, a radical identity, innocence and freshness that have convinced everyone from professionals to all types of watch enthusiasts.
His intentions are far from suddenly imposing in the area of watchmaking but he wishes to offer a stylish and beautiful object which charms a wide range of customers. “It is a very nice design, look out for those who are not watchmakers, it is a clean and simple looking extraordinary piece. In short, in the first sense of the word it is a curiousity that shows a lot of care has been taken “, Laurent Picciotto tells us.
