vario empire art deco

If fashion is a cycle, then it’s time we revisited the Golden Era of Art Deco.

Based on design principles first exhibited in Paris, 1925, Art Deco remains one of the most well-known pushes into modern style and sophistication. Its clean lines and simple shapes, while used to create high-end luxury items, were not limited to the upper class. This helped its popularity spread across social and economic circles.

The United States showed particular interest in the movement, and its influence led to the creation of the Empire State Building as we know it today. The tallest building in the world from the time of its completion in 1931 until 1970, its geometric exterior and ornate gold and silver interior designs have made it an iconic masterpiece that still draws millions of visitors, decades after its creation.

Vario Empire is a gorgeous homage to this era in design history. From the understated guilloché dial and bold yet elegant lettering, to the simple yet distinctive geometry of the hands, you’ll find it embraces the same sweeping beauty that sits in the halls of Art Deco entertainment venues. There are many ways to exude luxury, and the Vario Empire taps on this Art Deco movement to find innovative ways to, represent luxury, glamour and exuberance.

We’ve opted out of impersonal stock parts, choosing instead to give each watch in the collection its own custom-made case, dial, crown, and hands for visual drama. We’ve also pared down the pronounced horn lugs for a more refined, contemporary look.
