A passion to begin with

The creation of Scatola del Tempo goes back to the end of the 80’ and is due neither to a mere marketing choice nor to a diversification of a business already operating in the sector. Scatola del Tempo was born from the will and the initiative of a collector, Mr. Sandro Colarieti that, researching a watch holder that could be at the quality level of the models in his possession, couldn’t help but make one himself, using local craftsmanship and first quality materials.



At the first he made a small series, gifting the ones he wouldn’t use to some of his friends. After a while many requests to have some exactly like the ones before, started to arrive. This is how one of the best examples of the Made in Italy was “spontaneously” born, that is Scatola del Tempo that is today appreciated and known in the five continents. It is about an object designed with a “deep” knowledge of what it is destined to contain, made completely by hand by the best craftsmen, using the best leather and the most prestigious silks, produced in Colarieti’s family textile firm and proposing in all the models
innovative technical solutions matched with taste and elegance.

In the productive cycle everything starts with the internal shapes structured in the size and the obstructions, in such a way to adapt itself to almost all watches that are in commerce today, allowing transportation without useless pressures, but also without dangerous movements. Naturally every mold is first covered by an absorbent material and then by a soft jacquard silk cloth with exclusive design. This operation, which is very delicate, is made once more by hand and needs an attention that only years of experience can give. The box is then refined externally in leather, still treated with natural methods, or in briar root, making sure in this case to use polished varnish that will not oxidize the watches that are placed inside. Other particularities, like clasp and zippers, are also made by exclusive design and are refined with a gold plating that guarantees the duration and the hulling in time.
