ELECTUM

Description

ELECTUM, \u2019\u2019Choose Your Time\u2019\u2019\tELECTUM finds its inspiration in the Vanitas paintings of the Renaissance, where the presence of symbols reminds us of the ephemeral nature of time.\tThe ELECTUM dial is composed of three distinct circles: the seconds, engraved on the outer flange, evokes the immediate present, the off-center hours at 6 o\u2019clock represent the medium term, while the double date window at 12 o\u2019clock heralds a more distant deadline. The size of the circles grows smaller as the temporal horizon grows more distant.\tELECTUM leads us to reflect on our time horizons, our priorities, and invites us at each tick of the hand to choose and master our course of action.\tThis watch changes our perception of daily challenges and adds a symbolic and philosophical dimension to the simple act of telling time.\tThe name, \u2018Tempus Electum\u2019, means \u2018Chosen Time\u2019 in Latin.\xa0\tELECTUM, Made to Measure\tELECTUM is the emblematic watch of the premiere BarraccO collection.\tHigh quality components, space for personalization, and affordable prices are among the major assets of this watch. Each model is assembled according to the exact specifications of its future owner, thus becoming a unique object tailored to one\u2019s taste and lifestyle.\tFeatures that can be personalized include, among others, the type of case (stainless steel, ADLC), the color of the dial, the material and color of the bracelet (hand-stitched in small craft workshops), and even the positioning of one\u2019s initials on the dial.\t\xa0A brand designed for enthusiasts by an enthusiast\tBarraccO\xa0 (www.barraccowatches.com) is a young brand borne of the passion of one amateur watch collector, Tommaso Barracco, who, following a long professional career, decided to build his own line of watches, for which he demanded unparalleled quality and functionality.\tTo bring his vision to life, Tommaso surrounded himself with the best craftsmen and meticulously chose each and every component.\tThe BarraccO brand has chosen a pendulum as its symbol in honor of Galileo, the mind that discovered the principle of isochronism, the basis of every mechanical watch.\t\xa0
