The Portofino

For the man who refuses to choose between the dress watch and the sport watch.

The Portofino sits precisely between them: a polished steel case with the cushion shape of a nautical instrument, paired with a technical silicone strap built for the heat of the summer. Elegant enough for the table, easy enough for everything before it.

The Yachting Aesthetic

The dial is the story here. An intricate grid pattern echoes the lines of latitude and longitude — a quiet nod to the world of navigation, drawn in navy.

The silicone strap is soft against the wrist and carries a modern ease. At 65g, you will barely register it — which is exactly what you want from the watch you wear on the days that are supposed to be effortless.

How to Wear It

The Portofino belongs to the warm months.

Wear it with a crisp white linen shirt and beige chinos for lunch by the marina. For something sportier, a navy polo and tailored shorts. It moves from the tennis court to an evening aperitivo without asking for a change of clothes.
