PORTO ROTONDO - PASSION FOR SIMPLICITY

Scalfaro’s Porto Rotondo line of timepieces was named after the Sardinian harbour of PORTO ROTONDO – celebrated for its atmosphere of simple elegance and Mediterranean spirit.

ART DECO

This line has an essentially classical presence and is strongly influenced by the Kuhnle brothers’ fascination with the Art Deco period in architecture and decorative arts including some of their favourite artists like Tamara de Lempicka and Francis Picabia. The Art Deco period united functionality and clear design with technical innovation and manufacturing excellence.

True to these roots PORTO ROTONDO stands out by its elegant simplicity, symmetrical, well-balanced design composition and obvious sophistication in details, such as its multi-level dial and case construction, various surface-finishing techniques in dial and case design, the compulsory ScalfaScrews (this time used to secure the dial on the movement) as well as its large bezel-opening.

TECHNICAL PERFECTION AND CLEAR LINES

The PORTO ROTONDO’s highly complex and luxuriously finished watch cases demonstrate the independent character of these timepieces in an impressive way. Manufactured with the help of high-tech machinery, controlled and ultimately polished by hand, the numerous single components of each case are finally put together to result in a masterpiece of modern engineering.

Unique shape, sophisticated facets, refined finishing, important weight and complexity of construction result in the characteristic, high-profile appearance of a SCALFARO timepiece.

The PORTO ROTONDO’s clear and purist design is complemented by the perfect polishing of the various surfaces and the resulting interplay of matt and shiny surfaces. In combination with the numerous facets of the case create a spectacular effect similar to the sparkle of a diamond.

PORTO ROTONDO not only demonstrates its sporty, and at the same time sophisticated character in design, construction and quality, but also in its flawless technical features: multi-level case architecture, anti-reflective sapphire crystal, meticulously finished Swiss mechanical movement, screw-down crown, fluorescent hands, transparent sapphire crystal case back, ScalfaScrews, water-resistance to 50m/165ft, case diameter 44.0mm (1.73in), multi-level dial incl. bezel with ScalfaScrews, facet-oriented design with interplay of matt and shiny surfaces…
