We've built our products on the idea that 'great inspiration' is everything.
So we found ours in one of the most magnificent seasons in recent Italian history: the 1960’s and the Dolce Vita lifestyle.
During this period a predominant café-society aspired to a glittery world rebuilt upon the ruins of the postwar era, and a key concept of the italian style started to develop: the “sprezzatura”.
The concept bases its roots into the definition of “studied carelessness”. It is the pursuit of perfection, cultivating, at the same time, the art of giving the impression of not trying at all.
This is the starting point of our journey in the creation of a timeless timepiece. We can’t wait to guide you through it!
Our team has been working for nearly 2 years with experts in different fields from all around the globe to define the “just right” design and product.
Two different models and several styles are available, to satisfy even the most sophisticated users!
We bet you’ll find the right solution fitting your style!
We researched among the world’s top timepiece manufacturers who have been leading the industry for years working for the high-street brands (with retail prices for over € 1500).
We looked for the "classic" leather patterns used at the time to perfectly match the 60's mood and enhance the wearing experience.
Freeda watches are featuring an easy and fast switching strap system.
Pull the pin on the spring bar, and easily fit it into the lug hole. Repeat it on both the halves of the strap, and a new watch is ready to fit your wrist!
Customize your watch for the day ahead in just a few seconds, and express your personality.
We are committed to offering you a unique timepiece. This is why every single watch produced will be numbered with our special "First Edition" serial number.
Our watches are featuring a plain back case that you can customize with a bespoke engraving service.
Whether it is an important date, initials or a short message, make your Freeda watch* even more personal.
The traditional sales channel of the luxury watch industry involves several steps and middlemen in between the producer and the end user customer.
Inspired by the modern Italian gentleman. Subtle and refined, marks the return of a classic and comforting style playing on the duality of eccentric materials and details from high watchmaking. A companion to wear with "studied casualness", synthesizing a charming taste for tradition.
