Fifty years in the craft. One hand, two speeds — ready-made and bespoke.
In 1974 I started at Piaget as a watchmaker. Bench, loupe, ultra-thin calibres. That's where I learned to study a detail for hours before touching it.
Ten years later I opened my shop, Auri Tempore, on viale San Michele del Carso in Milan. I sold watches, but what really interested me were the hands that had built them.
Then twenty-five years in America selling Italian watchmaking to a market that didn't know it.
I came back to Milan with fifty years of craft and one clear idea: one hand, two speeds.
Milano Straps — Prêt-à-porter
B2B and B2C. Straps in fine leather, handmade in my Milan workshop, shipped worldwide. If you want a real Italian strap you don't have to get on a plane.
Casati Milano — Haute Couture
Atelier by appointment. One client, one watch, one strap. We choose the leather, thread, stitching, buckle together. I build it for that wrist. There's no catalogue because there's no need for one.
The same eye that at twenty watched a Piaget calibre now watches a stitch. I'm looking for the same thing.
In Milan, where it all began.
