CT Scuderia watches illustrate a love of detail and a deep rooted passion for mechanical engineering. Founder of the company, Enrico Margaritelli is the third generation of an Italian family whose passion for mechanical watchmaking comes as second nature. Margaritelli inherited his love of hand craftsmanship from his grandfather Ariodante, who had dedicated his entire life to crafting timekeeping instruments for use within the military during the first and second world wars. Today, CT Scuderia watches are the perfect match for motorsport lovers and fans of the world of elite sport racing. One of the brand’s most distinct features includes the positioning of its crown and push pieces, unusually located at the top of each case. This design code gives every CT Scuderia watch the authoritative imprint of a stopwatch. In addition to this, the case of the watch can be detached from its sporty strap and worn around the neck as a stopwatch.
CT Scuderia prides itself on a strong work ethic. A careful choice of materials and a confident design keeps the Italian spirit of the company alive and running through the veins of its manufacturing facilities. Clean lines and a sharp aesthetic are the results of Enrico Margaritelli’s tendency to play about with bold colours, experimenting with shapes and materials at the same time. Some other important details of a CT Scuderia watch add to the brand’s unique DNA. For example, the large, refined steel buckle of a CT Scuderia watch strap. The leather straps used at the company’s facilities are genuine and hand finished with elegant double stitched cotton thread to create an elegant, luxurious finish next to the skin.
The big numbers on the dial of every CT Scuderia watch matter a lot. It is this instantly recognisable design feature that gives every timepiece a unique character and feel. Over the years, the Italian watch manufacturer has dedicated time to acquiring the skills and know-how in how to balance these details on the dial so as not to distract from the rest of the design, but at the same time remaining bold and distinct enough for instant recognition. The dials and hands of CT Scuderia watches are inspired by classic racing motorbike and sportscar instruments.
Expert construction is integral to every CT Scuderia watch, whether it be from the popular Corsa, Saturno, Dashboard, Scrambler or Check Flag watch range. The manufacturer engineers its cases from three pieces of stainless steel and equips the back of the watch with a transparent caseback crafted from a sapphire crystal glass lens. Only a diamond can scratch the surface of a sapphire glass caseback. The material has been treated with anti reflective properties to ensure a clear glimpse into the beautiful gear wheels and mechanism in full glory as it performs. Only CT Scuderia watches have interchangeable screw-down crowns. Once locked into place they carry out their job of ensuring a moisture free environment for the mechanical watch’s flawless movement to carry out its work. These crowns and pushers at 12 o’clock of every CT Scuderia watch tell the story of legendary racing track heroes with their red, white and green colours depicting the iconic Italian flag.
