In the mid-1800s, Arrigo Argenti understood that fine, accurate watches were the cutting edge manifestation of consumer technology. More and more people desired to own a watch and, watchmakers were happily competing and innovating to meet the demand. This was when the young 20-year-old Argenti's genius came to light. He recognized that the truly finest watches weren't merely technical masterpieces, that science and raw design innovations were only a part of the equation. Arrigo knew that people didn't want just any watch. They wanted art. They wanted beauty. They wanted a timepiece that would reflect not just a station in life but who they were, where they were from, and when they lived.

There was no such thing as a "throw-away watch". Timepieces were made to last the life of its own, and beyond. Argenti identified his customers desire for a watch "Of their time, for all time" and Argenti responded to that desire.

Today, Argenti still represents fine watchmaking, but in an effort to appeal to the masses, and satisfy the financial requirements in today’s modern world, Argenti has adopted value into its core values. Now you can look the part and feel the part without having to sacrifice more important things in your life. In today’s economic climate we place a stronger value on the dollar, and we must prioritize how we spend
