Watch Collections
As
with many companies of this era Alessi experienced a downturn during the war
years and was forced to manufacture products for uniforms and airplanes to
sustain the business. The post war period involved the production of a whole
range of stainless steel products to meet the demand to replace silver plated
alloys. Since then the company has expanded to utilize external designers and
now boasts a team of 500 people, who are directly involved in project
development, production, sales and distribution.
Alessi Watches are just an example of the diverse range of designer products
that the Italian brand creates for the global market. The Alessi watch
collections range from aluminum cases and leather bands to collections
characterized by bright colors and concave crystals. The chief designers such as
Ron Arad, Stefano Pirovano and Alberta Meda are always searching for new and
different constructions and functions for the Alessi watches they design. For
example Ron Arad uses rotating disks as the basis for showing the time in the
Alessi 3000 series. In this unique design, the current hour and minute appear in
two distinct openings that rotate around the face of the watch, revealing only a
small part of the artwork at a time.
The
average price range of Alessi watches is between US$175 and US$450.
