The creation of Scatola del Tempo goes back to the end of the 1980s and was serendipitous, as it happened, not as a result of a conscious diversification of an existing business, or even a marketing decision.
Scatola del Tempo was born from the desire and inventiveness of a watch collector, Sandro Colarieti, who needed watch boxes of the same high quality of his watch collection. Unable to find such boxes in the market place, he decided to make them for himself, using local craftsmen and the finest quality materials. Initially, he made a small series of boxes, giving those he did not need for himself to friends. After a while, requests from others for similar watch boxes started arriving.
