Gucci - The history of Gucci watches, rich in style and steeped in originality, began a relatively short time ago in Florence, Italy. The year was 1921 when Guccio Gucci opened his leather goods and small luggage store, the pride and joy of his family. There, he used his experience working in London’s Savoy Hotel as inspiration for the refined aesthetic that characterized his creations, and led to the distinctive style and high standards that Gucci watches exhibit today. They are beautiful. They are avant garde. Gucci watches are unique works of wearable art that pay homage to the Tuscan artisans of their ancestry.
