The Watch

Direnzo was founded in 2016 by Sergio Godoy Di Renzo, an architect by trade who decided to take a watch design course for some fun. Moving to Geneva, Switzerland. Their first watches pay homage to his grandfather who raced sports cars in the 1940s and 50s. The sleek designs of these sports cars inspired him, later plane design became his inspiration. All the time looking to expand the creative envelope of materials and durability.

Releasing his watches through a Kickstarter campaign in 2017 achieving full funding in just 4 hours. His second campaign reached its target in less than a minute. Confident in his abilities and able to build a strong team around him he launched his website and continues to see great success in his designs.

Here we have a 2021 Direnzo DRZ 04 with a polished and brushed 40mm stainless steel tonneau-shaped case. Taking its inspiration from the introduction of the jet airliner. A lug to lug length of 48mm and a thickness of 11mm give the watch an impressive wrist presence. On the right side is a signed crown. The smooth bezel has a polished edge and brushed top surface supporting the double-domed sapphire crystal AR coated. The striking blue fume dial is deeply recessed like a bowl with an outer minute track and applied lozenge-shaped indexes coated in SuperLuminova marking the hours. At 6 o’clock we have a date window. Elegantly sculptured hands are partly skeletonised with SuperLuminova tips. The lollipop balanced sweeping second hand completes the dial. Text is precisely printed at 12 o’clock and 6 o’clock. On the reverse, we have a screwed-down sapphire crystal exhibition case back. Inside an Automatic Sellita SW-200-1 Elaboré + Incabloc, 26 jewels, 28,800 beats per hour. This movement is their special (Elaboré) version which is adjusted in three positions. The watch comes fitted on its 14.5mm integrated polished and brushed stainless steel bracelet with a butterfly folding clasp and comes with its Direnzo presentation box and papers.
