Gucci

Gucci started out as a boutique in Rome. It was established by craftsman Guccio Gucci in 1938. He sold luxury items, creating a brand name for Gucci products. It was under his son, Aldo, that the company thrived and spread out to different continents. From Paris to New York City to Japan, Gucci products became renowned as a luxury good and consolidated itself as a brand name.

Unfortunately, the company faced tough times in the 1970s when it faced bankruptcy. However, since the 1990s, Gucci has once again reestablished itself as a producer of high quality goods. In addition to a number of accessories, the company paid particular interest to Gucci watches. These timepieces played a vital role in the revival of the Gucci image.

Along with smart business tactics that helped promote their watches, Gucci also paid particular attention to developing top quality watches. Stainless steel as well as the use of sapphire crystal were typical aspects of a Gucci watch. These features were traits that gave Gucci an edge over their competitors, as did the introduction of the classy leather wristlets.

Gucci timepieces boast a variety of fashion styles, from the soft feminine look of the Gucci Signoria to the formal, masculine look of the 101 G-Round. The company has also introduced innovative designs that cater to lovers of fashion accessories via the Gucci's Twirl models. And so it comes as no surprise that Gucci watches are a top favorite amongst famous celebrities, in US as well as in Europe.
