Since being founded by Guccio Gucci in 1921, Gucci has gone from strength to strength to become perhaps the definitive Italian luxury brand. After working for some time in the grand hotels of Paris and London as an immigrant worker, the young Gucci found himself taken with the beautiful trunks and cases used by the wealthiest guests as luggage. Then, upon return to his native Florence, Gucci established a fine leather goods shop that made use of the city’s long history of producing some of the world’s most highly skilled leather artisans.
Over the next twenty years, the brand would enjoy considerable success across Italy, expanding to include stores in Milan and Rome. Wealthy patrons fell in love with Gucci’s traditionally styled leather goods that by now included bags, purses and even men’s loafers as well as signature silk scarves. By the 1950’s and 60’s Gucci had become an internationally renowned brand as glamorous film stars and elites flocked to Florence and wider Italy, which had once more become a fashionable destination for vacations. Very soon, Gucci began to develop into the internationally recognised symbol of wealth and luxury that it is today.
After a turbulent period in the 80’s that included the company changing hands on multiple occasions and bitter family disputes almost leading to the brand’s destruction, the hiring of fashion guru Tom Ford as creative director in 1994 proved to be a master stroke. Ford managed to drastically reduce the number of items produced by Gucci from 20,000 to 5,000 which helped to cut costs and reestablish the brand as a truly premium manufacturer.
These days Gucci continues to be recognised by all and sundry as a creator of luxurious, high quality goods of all types. Renowned for incredible suits, plush leathers and delicious fragrances, the brand managed to nurture a growing reputation as a serious player in the watchmaking industry. With a wide range of men’s and women’s wristwatches, Gucci produces everything from sports timepieces to formal models designed for evenings and black tie events. Indeed, many of Gucci’s watches are Swiss made, featuring premium materials including diamonds, rose gold and mother of pearl.
In the end, the Gucci Le Marche Des Merveilles is a stunning Unisex watch. The case is made out of PVD Gold plated and shows off the high beauty of the model while the dial colour is stunning too. In terms of the water resistance, the watch has got this up to 50 metres, indeed, this means it can be submerged in water for long, so is perfect to be used for swimming and fishing. It is not supposed to be used in high intensity water sports like surfing and windsurfing though. Indeed, the watch comes with an original box and a guarantee from Gucci.
