Gucci watches: Long-time experts in Italian design now create fashionable watches

Gucci was founded when Guccio Gucci first opened his luggage and saddlery shop in Florence, Italy in the early 1920's. Today, the name Gucci is associated with much more.

The watch end of the business was born in November 1997, when Gucci Timepieces was created with the acquisition of the Severin Montres Group, a world class watch manufacturing and distributing company. They brought their expertise in stylish design and combined it with fine watchmaking.

They have rapidly continued to expand their designer watch line. In 2000 Gucci acquired Boucheron International S.A. Founded in France in 1858, Boucheron has a long established heritage as one of the world's most exclusive jewellery, watch and perfume brands. Also in 2000, Gucci secured further control over its brands by obtaining license rights held by Cartier International for Yves Saint Laurent Couture watches and jewellery. Both of these moves reflect Gucci's confidence in the global potential of the jewellery and watches segments of the luxury goods market.
