Perseo 11501-02/Pocket Watch

Perseo is a national brand known to all Italians. It is also the official supplier of railway watches to the Italian State Railways (FS).

Perseo brand watches are designed to be robust and accurate, and to be "watch-like."

With its plain design and no patterns, this pocket watch can be easily matched with any outfit.

"Perseo" is an Italian word derived from Perseus, a hero in Greek and Roman mythology.

Perseo was founded around 1861 or 1871 and was originally the sole Italian distributor of the Swiss watch company Cortebert Watch Company. However, Perseo invested in Cortebert, so it was not just a sole distributor but also a shareholder of Cortebert.

In 1927, Perseo was selected as the official supplier of railway clocks for the Italian State Railways. Even now, nearly 100 years later, Perseo continues to supply railway clocks with official certification from the Italian State Railways.

Perseo is one of the few watch companies in the world that produces officially certified railway watches, and there is no other company in the world that has been producing railway watches for nearly 100 years like Perseo.

Just as in the past, Perseo is still the "Italian watch" for Italians.

The gorgeous gold-colored case and white dial with rounded Arabic numerals and simple hands make it easy to read the time.

It also comes with a dedicated chain. Once you receive your pocket watch, you can take it with you on your outings right away. (The chain design may change.)
