A new adventure in modern watchmaking

Hello everyone , my name is Luigi Aguzzi and I am the creator of the brand “Vergo Avius”.
We are a small group of young people united by a common idea.
Together we have created “ Leonardo “ , which expresses our concept of modern watchmaking
I write to invite you to expose your personal views about our product.
We would like to gather as much information useful for the development of our upcoming products.
We are available for any questions about this product.
It 's important that you understand that our intention is to build a direct relationship with the public in order to have a transparent dialogue, this is not an advertisement.
Thanks for your cooperation

Best.

Hi Luigi

First Congrats for the design!
It is a real piece of work, quite original with a nice style.
This is not so common. From the pure mechanics point of view I do not see anything extraordinary but that's done for real and well done.
(There are so many drawings which are presented as finished watch and aren't).

If you can put some photos and some datas here we will be glad <:i

Thank you.

Very automobile inspired designed but there have been quite worse in this direction, it still remains quite pure.
I really appreciate it.

3 questions

Size? L*l*h
Weight? If the material is well chosen it may be under 70g?
Price ?

2- under 70g it's very difficult it's about 96g
3- € 6250

Ciao

The dimensions are OK, a bit thick imho but still wearable, 48 is what you have on classical 40mm watch from lugs to lugs (ROlex submariner for example).
I thought of Richard Mille looking at the watch but the architecture is different and the caliber too. Still light for the size.

Price is (like always for amateurs ) a bit high. But there is a true research on the case and on the dial with something not seen anywhere else before.
Much aprreciated from my side

100m is a good waterproof depth, well done.

I wish you success <:i

Thanks again
The price depends from the small quantity and the very long tooling time on the case.
But I still agree with your point of view.

Thanks for this presentation.

Your work is very interesting. The technicals choices are not so easy for a first watch.

I wish you a lot of sucess and if you come in Paris, I would really like to see your baby!

Hi Luigi.

I believe that the aim of your post is to get feedbacks. Thanks for your will to post here, we really appreciate direct talk with designers and watchmakers. So I will give you mine even if it is not a positive one.

Frankly speaking, the watch seems to me as a gathering of some watchmaking design gimmicks.

The watch lacks a sort of an overall design which would make it more coherent... more attractive, in fact I would like to know the idea and the ambition behind even if some details are nice. Moreover, there are maybe too many colors on the dial and the bezel is a bit too thick for my taste. On the positive side, I like the case curves.

But maybe I will change my mind if I see the watch in the metal. Maybe in Rome later this year? I will contact you.

Anyway, as I often say, it is better to get very positive or negative feelings rather than lukewarm comments.

I wish you the best for the future.

Thanks, I appreciated your comments.
Our intention is to test the feelings of our work and gather information for the future, there is no better way to hit the target.
I personally find it harmonious, but in fact the dial is too dense of information.

See you soon

Ok I understand more at which point you are

.Personnaly I like the thickness of the bezel it gives character
The two V's on the dial are too much. You can keep them because of the name of the brand but maybe not that way.
I would not make too much shape but more work on the material and the effect given.

.All mat can look a bit cheap but if it is well presented it can be Ok.

.Some more metal parts (sandblasted)on the dial may give a less cheap look than painting imho, but it has to go with the automobile design that is given.
.The hands with holes are reminding me of BRM. And I do not like that on the Hand. I think a plain hands with no black painting and bome Brushed sandblasted effect will look better.


Just my taste and my 2 cents.

Thanks for your opinion, unfortunately the hands on those images are not so cleary visibles because are very differents from B.R.M. version and are nichel plated blilliants and a very particular shape.
The all matt finishing want to give to the product a technical look .
At your disposal for every other question.

I hope that this image is sufficiently clear to finish the work begun on the surface finish.
I would appreciate your point of view

I am sorry Vergo, I am not that sure to see the good shape .
But they are original, that's true

Hello, we have several images of the creative phase and assembly, but I don't think you can understand if they come from the working area of which I have mentioned various places.

I take full responsibility of the transmitted data here and on other occasions.

Best regards
