Versace is one of the most popular fashion houses, founded in the late 1970s in Italy. It’s renowned for its high quality and great design – after all, responding to the needs of the luxury goods market is something the Italians have mastered to perfection. After clothes, the Versace brand started to offer accessories like watches. Few people know that its Italian design goes hand in hand with Swiss standards, as confirmed by the world-famous "Swiss Made" label of quality.

Versace fashion house – family business and a global empire

It all started with the famous duo of Gianni and Donatella Versace. When the former handed over the company as a gift to his sister, the brand gained a unique character and became internationally renowned. First Versace designs fitted perfectly into the spirit of the 1980s – they were characterised by rock'n'roll, avant-garde and extravagance. The culmination of their efforts was the success of the siblings at their first show, which took place in Milan in 1990. Since then, the fashion house has maintained its high standing and reputation and has shops in various corners of the world.

Versace watches are not just another accessory with the logo of a famous fashion house. They are also about the attention to detail, the use of the finest materials and the world-famous "Swiss Made" label of quality. What exactly does the "Swiss Made" label mean?

The sun-brushed dials of Versace Virtus watches feature decorative hands and the letter "V" referring to the name of the collection. The watch houses the Ronda 762 Swiss Made quartz movement. The dial is protected from damage by a hard sapphire crystal. There are two versions available: with a steel bracelet or a leather strap. The overall design is impressive yet subtle. Tasteful elegance.

Their dials are decorated with the brand's logo and a convex Medusa’s head. There is a Greek pattern between the stick indices. In addition to classic silver, gold or white, the collection also uses grey and blue colours. The Ronda 763 Swiss Made quartz movement is responsible for accurate timekeeping.
